After an adventure-packed study abroad trip, I have found it difficult to pick a favorite place out of all the amazing cities we traveled to, but there is one thing that keeps sticking out to me. That would be the beautiful mountainous landscape of Morocco. Specifically, the Atlas Mountains in Ouarzazate. When people think of Morocco, they might think of the red city or the Sahara Desert, but Morocco is so much more than that. I found myself constantly in awe of the breathtaking and diverse landscape of this beautiful country in North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlas Mountains in Ouarzazate are filled with winding roads and cool weather, as well as stunning views. Once we made our way to the Atlas Mountains, the weather was cool and windy. This was a big change compared to the dry desert heat we were getting used to. Just being able to look out to the mountains helped give more perspective to Morocco&#8217;s landscape, as well as the different cultures within Morocco. Morocco is an amazing country with so much to offer, and I cannot wait to go back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2013 Johana, SPC Morocco Study Abroad Program, May 2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, my name is Johana, and I have spent ten amazing days in Morocco.
