Morocco which has over the years attracted all types of visitors from world famous politicians like Winston Churchill & President Roosevelt to celebrities such as George Clooney & David & Victoria Beckham is today receiving a different type of visitor. Visitors who have had enough of the usual overcrowded and overly expensive Spain. This type of visitor seeks to feel the deep culture on offer in Morocco and taste the wonderful food available at less than half of Spanish prices. Morocco is visually exciting to the average visitor who has travelled the usual places on the Mediterranean coast. The colours so bright, the deserts so vast, challenging and beautiful and the people so friendly and welcoming. The lush mountains of the riff shadow golden beaches like that of Kabila, further south are the high Atlas Mountains are the tallest mountains in North Africa.

During winter times the rich and famous staying in their villas and palaces take to the ski slopes of Oukaimeden. The British tycoon Richard Branson has bought a Kasbah named Kasbah Tamadot which is used as a luxury boutique hotel. It is found perched dramatically on a hilltop and surrounded by the peaks of the High Atlas. Located in the Atlas Mountains, Oukaimeden, the valley of four winds, is set to become the ultimate four season mountain destination for recreation, entertainment, relaxation and residence as well as being the Middle East and Africas only golf and ski resort. In keeping with Berber design and the shear beauty of the great Atlas Mountains, Oukaimeden village will combine commercial, office, retail, entertainment and dining amenities with a full range of residential options to choose from. With 2,000 hotel rooms, more than 300 retail units and 25,000 sq. metres of business and conference facilities planned, Oukaimeden will be a year round hive of activity. Artisans of all types are attracted to Morocco and its history. The Almoravid dynasty left wonderful architecture and palaces all over Marrakech.

With the recent open air agreement between Morocco and Europe the first of its kind with a country in Africa, low cost carriers are tripping over themselves to serve Morocco. Easy jet was the first to make flights available followed by the ground breaking deal by Ryan air to serve 20 airports across Morocco. Low cost carrier Monarch is also expected to join the race to serve this emerging market flying to Tangier international airport in 2007. What is the driving force behind all this? Some say its the booming Moroccan property market others say the proposed tunnel linking Morocco with Spain. Buyers from across Europe and the World are jumping on the bandwagon of this hot property growth market and with beachfront ocean view properties, listed with Property Borders, starting from £45.000 who can blame them.
