Geography

Located in NorthAfrica, Morocco isbordered by theAtlanticOcean on the east, the Mediterranean Sea on the north. Algeria borders on the west and the Sahara Desert on the far south.
The Atlas Mountains run in parallel ridges across Morocco from southwest to northeast; whereas, the Rif Mountains extend towards the Mediterranean Sea sloping more gently towards the west and the south.
The Mediterranean coast is rugged, while the Atlantic coast from Tangier to Safi comprises numerous low and sandy beaches.
Between the coast and the mountains there is a wide plain partly undulating and partly broken by hills, and this region produces most of Morocco's agricultural riches.
With summits reaching 4,550 m the High Atlas Mountains exercises a decisive influence on the country's climate, flora, fauna and agricultural produce

CLIMATE IN MOROCCO

The climate in Morocco is reliably dry, although small amounts of rain do fall between November and March.
The coastal plane between the mountains and the sea is fertile and receives adequate rainfall to support the important agricultural industry which, together with most of the large cities, is concentrated mainly in this region.
The area to the South and East of the mountains is largely arid, much of it forming part of the Sahara Desert.
The climate varies considerably from region to region and from one season to the next. The coastal plane enjoys a temperate Mediterranean-type climate with temperatures ranging from 46'F to 63'F (8°C to 17°C) in winter and from 66'F to 81'F (19°C to 27°C) in summer.
The mountainous areas are generally cooler, and above a height of about 5,250 feet (1,600 meters), receive considerable snowfall in winter.
To the South and East of the mountains, rainfall diminishes, becoming negligible in the desert areas, where the range of temperatures is significantly wider- from a minimum of 37'F (3'C) to a maximum of 111'F (44°C).
The major cities are Rabat (capital), Casablanca, Fez, Marrakech, Meknes, Tangiers, Agadir, Oujda and Laayoun.
