Morocco-Background: Independent since March 2, 1956 (from France)
The internationalized city of Tangier was turned over to the new country that same year. Morocco virtually annexed Western Sahara during the late 1970s, but final resolution on the status of the territory remains unresolved. Gradual political reforms in the 1990s resulted in the establishment of a bicameral legislature in 1997.
His Majesty King Mohamed VI., born September 21, 1963, committed to reforming Morocco's econoly and deepening its democratic structures.
FES
(Fez) was founded about 1200 years ago, and is the oldest imperial city in Morocco. The Medina is utterly amazing to walk through, with streets 8-10 feet wide and buildings 3-4 stories high, all connected!
Thie trip was quite an adventure strolling through the narrow streets in the Medina - enjoy the pictures ...
