Quick facts and practical tips
Economy at a glance: Morocco has a growing export-focused industry base — cars, aeronautics parts, phosphate products and food processing. Renewables are a headline story: large solar and wind farms reduce energy imports and attract green investment. For investors or business travelers, keep an eye on trade deals with the EU and Africa, and port capacity improvements at Tanger Med.
Travel pointers: carry ID, use official taxis or ride apps in cities, and ask about weather in mountain or desert areas before heading out. English is growing in tourist spots, but French and Arabic are common — a few phrases go a long way. Health-wise, bottled water is safest outside big hotels, and travel insurance is smart if you plan desert trips.
Politics and regional context: Morocco plays a major role in North Africa — diplomatic ties, trade routes and migration issues shape headlines. The Western Sahara matter remains sensitive and occasionally affects foreign policy stories; we report developments factually and link to official statements when available.
Culture and society: Morocco’s arts scene mixes traditional crafts, modern film and music festivals. From riad restorations to street food markets, local entrepreneurs are shaping tourism and city life. You’ll also find human stories — entrepreneurs, artists, and communities adapting to climate and economic change.
How we cover it: we aim for clear, timely reporting with links to official sources and on-the-ground details when possible.
