Morocco's population is composed of two major ethnic groups: the indigenous Amazighen (Berbers) and the Arabs, who arrived in the 8th century bringing Islam with them. There has been so much intermarriage between Amazighen and Arabs since then that distinctions are largely meaningless.
Prior to the mass exodus of Jews between 1948 and 1967, Morocco also had a population of over 250,000 Jews. Fewer than 5,000 now remain. Evidence of Jewish culture can still be seen in the older towns, especially in the mellah (Jewish quarter).

We had a fantastic time and all returned very relaxed.
Max,
We had a fantastic time and all returned very relaxed.
We had no problems with any of the transfers, all worked really well and we got to see the same driver several times which was good.
The first hotel, Les Deux Tours, was really relaxing and we loved it. Trips into Marrakech were awesome. It is great to know …
