"Morocco is a place where travelers 'expect mystery and they find it,'...it [is] as multi-layered and intriguing as the patterns in the tile work adorning the building, each of which has its own hidden meaning. Morocco has the mystique of a land from the Old Testament yet appears to be coping comfortably with modernization. Internet cafe's rub shoulders with artisan's workshops; peasants on donkey trot beneath billboards advertising the latest mobile phones. Outside mosques, running shoes are lined up next to pointy-toed babouches. In the souks women wearing long robes and headscarves escort daughters with beautifully cut hair and high heals..." -from A House in Fez by Suzanna Clarke.
This is probably the best description of this country I've heard.
