Morocco is a constitutional monarchy with a parliament and an independent judiciary. Ultimate authority rests with the King. The capital is Rabat. Morocco has a mixed economy based largely on agriculture, fishing, light industry, phosphate mining, tourism, and remittances from citizens working abroad. Modern tourist facilities and means of transportation are widely available, but may vary in quality depending on price and location.

Weather

Inland in the High Atlas mountains the climate is influenced by altitude and winter snowfall can be heavy. Inland at lower levels summers are very hot although winter and spring days can be chilly. The Saharan region has typically hot summers and mild winters.
