The most visited countries in Africa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Morocco<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most visited country in Africa is Morocco<\/a><\/strong>. This Northern African nation saw a whopping 12.3 million visitors in 2019, making it the most visited country on the entire continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So just what is it that makes Morocco so appealing? The culture of Morocco is sure to be a big drawcard, considering there is nowhere in the world quite like it. The sights, sounds and colours of the medina is enough to leave you mesmerised. Then there’s the food – oh the food!<\/em> Think tagines, plenty of spice and endless sweet pastries to finish off the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the highlights of Morocco include Marrakesh<\/a><\/strong>, one of the most chaotic and charismatic cities in the world. Then, of course, there is Fes<\/a><\/strong>, a historic city with so much culture you could spend a week here and not scratch the surface. If you’re taking a tour of the country, consider stopping by Essaouira <\/a><\/strong>as well. This beautiful beach town has a European feel to it, with all the rugged charm of Northern Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
