I visited Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Rabat, Merzouga, Dades Gorges region, Ait Ben Haddou and Marrakesh. I was pleasantly surprised about the infrastructure of the country which coming from Egypt was a MAJOR welcoming factor as streets, sidewalks, train and city landscapes were neat and clean for the most part.
