Morocco rests between the atlantic ocean and mediterranean sea in the north-western corner of Africa. The early inhabitants of what was to become Morocco were immigrants trying to escape the Saharan area as it was drying up and turning to desert. They fled to the Atlas Mountains and later to the coastal regions. Other migrants from the region joined them and created the roots of the Amazigh (Berber) culture. In an effort to combat the ever-encroaching Sahara desert, the Moroccan government plants thousands of acres of forests every year. Hardy trees like the Argan tree help to hold the fertile topsoil in place. Because of its geographic location, Morocco has become a collection of many different cultures. Emigrants from south of the Sahara, the far east, Spain, and France, as well as other European countries have all added their unique touches to Moroccan culture.
