Morocco is an exotic place. In Morocco you can experience both the traditional and the modern at the same time. This carries you away from the monotonous and usual urban lifestyle of a western society. You can experience a blend of everything in Morocco (an open-air traditional street market with ALL what you need in the heart of a big city: Medina). In the meantime, you are not deprived from the privileges of the city. Also, Morocco is beautiful in terms of natural resorts: the sun, the beaches, the wilderness, the mountains and the desert. Also, Morocco is socially rich. This is due to historical facts (many ancient civilizations lived in Morocco). One doesn't feel distinguished in Morocco (all complexions exist and all Western languages are spoken in Morocco -- with a dominance of the French language). Also, one gets surprised when communicating with the people. They are special and intelligent. I like Morocco also because of the political stability. More importantly, it stayed immune from the current political turmoils. Morocco enjoys a descent security level. People are generous, helpful and welcoming to foreigners. All races and colors cohabit in Morocco without any problem. And of course, one cannot ignore the beautiful dishes of Morocco. Food is very delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Generally speaking, the standard of life in Morocco is way cheaper than any country in the West (the rent, shoppings, restaurants, etc). In short, Morocco can be a great escape from the usual and perfectionism of a modern society. Tired of the burden of following western paradigms, many westerners prefer to live in Morocco forever. With your own decent wealth, one can be considered well-off in Morocco and can enjoy a special treatment a well, instead of living ignored as an individual in a Western society. If you feel that you are either saturated or dead in a western society, Morocco will certainly give you life back again and a reason why you should wish to live longer.
