With nearly 12.3 million tourists in 2019, Morocco, a Muslim country which follows Islamic laws and customs, is Africaâs most popular destination.
Home to mosques, palaces and gardens is Marrakesh, known as the Pink City in western Morocco, because its city walls and all buildings are ramparts of beaten pink clay, built by the North African Empireâs conquerors in the 12
th Century.
