Morocco, which means "the west" in Arabic, is often
called "the land of contrasts." Temperatures can range
from quite hot in the south to very cold in the interior, to
moderate along the coast. The topography is highly diverse as
well: Morocco has deserts, beaches, and mountain ranges. The
major cities of Morocco also reflect a contrast between the very
modern (for example, the cities of Casablanca and Agadir) and
the very traditional (such as the medinas of Fez and Marrakech).
