Welcome to Morocco

A MELTING POT OF DYNASTIES, CULTURES & HISTORY

Each country has its own history: historical facts, events and important milestones that gave the country its true historical value. The history of a country is one of the events considered worthy of remembrance, which perfectly applies to Morocco.

With several dynasties that have succeeded one another over the years: the Idrisside dynasty, the Almoravid dynasty, the Almohad dynasty, the Merinid dynasty, the Saadian dynasty and the Alaouite dynasty, Morocco has gained international consideration as a multicultural country, with several types of heritage recognized as World Heritage by UNESCO.

Morocco is one of the go-to destinations for discovery lovers, the most fascinated by nature, history, the art of living and Moroccan hospitality. The experience gained during their journeys in Morocco leave them pleasantly satisfied with their stay.

Long before planes crossed the Atlantic and today’s travelers came seeking adventure, Morocco and the United States were already bound by friendship. In 1777, while the American Revolution was still underway, Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah made history by recognizing the sovereignty of the young United States—making Morocco the first country in the world to acknowledge America’s independence. That bold act of goodwill laid the foundation for the Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1786–87, now the longest unbroken treaty in U.S. history, and it continues to shape a relationship built on hospitality, exchange, and mutual respect.

As we gather together in Marrakech, we step into this shared story, celebrating an enduring bond between two nations that chose friendship from the very beginning.
