Geography Morocco's varied geography includes no less than four seperate mountain ranges, lush river valleys, beautiful sandy coasts and wide expanses of desert. The assent of the country's highest peak, Jebel Toukbal (13,665 ft. / 4,165 m.), is a spectacular and not particularly difficult High Atlas trek. The Moroccan coastline which fronts onto both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, offers plenty of great beaches as well as a number of fascinating old coastal cities. Development In 1999, His Highness Crown Prince Sidi Mohammed was declared King of Morocco "His Majesty King Mohammed VI". After his enthronement, the King uncovered his ambitious development plans for Morocco. In 2001, the government presented Vision 2010 as Morocco's national tourism strategy (Azur Programme): The main objectives were to attract five times as many visitors in 2010 as in 2002 and to create 600,000 jobs in the tourism industry.
