    of only three countries (with Spain and France) to have both Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines. Morocco has

    steppe and grasslands ensures a wide diversity of flora and fauna lives within the country.

    towards the interior regions. The climate changes when moving east of the Atlas mountains due to the barrier, or
    shelter, effect of the mountain system, becoming very dry and extremely warm during the long summer,
    especially on the lowlands and on the valleys facing the Sahara. The Sahara Desert begins here, and it is
    perfectly visible, where it is possible to find oases, sand dunes and rocky desert landscapes.
