1. Moroccan Food is Fabulous

Morocco, unlike most other African countries, produces all the food it needs to feed its people. Its many home-grown fruits and vegetables include oranges, melons, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, and potatoes. Five more native products that are especially important in Moroccan cooking are lemons, olives, figs, dates, and almonds. Located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the country is rich in fish and seafood. Beef is not plentiful, so meals are usually built around lamb or poultry.

It's a lifetime experience, it's kind of cheap, very friendly to foreigners, safe, good food, close to Europe, 20 min on ferry and you are in Spain, and it has diversity in landscape, kind of Californina, Desert, mountains, of course miles of beaches, oops that's more than 5! don't ask me the bad things about Morocco...good luck!
