THE KINGDOM OF MOROCCO
Morocco is a constitutional monarchy located on the Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans across from Spain, a direct
6/12 hour flight from NYC to Casablanca. The country is similar in size and climate to California, and the population is
34 million.
Morocco is a moderate Muslim nation. Women are well represented in business and government. Alcohol is
available and western dress is acceptable within reason. While Morocco is a developing economy, as a popular
destination, modern tourist facilities and means of transportation are widely available.
FLAG DESCRIPTION
Red with a green pentacle (five-pointed, linear star) known as Sulayman's (Solomon's) seal in the center of the flag.
Red and green are traditional colors in Arab flags although the use of red is more commonly associated with the Arab
states of the Persian gulf. The pentacle represents the five pillars of Islam and signifies the association between God
and the nation. The design dates to 1912.
