Having been colonised during the course of history by the Portugese, French, Spanish and then by the wild Berbers from the desert. Morocco has had a number of influences with French ending up as widely spoken still. Morocco is a hot country, but beer or any alcohol can be hard to find at times as this is a proud Muslim nation.
