Located off the north-western coast of Africa, the island attracts millions of tourists and visitors each year, and boasts some of the best luxury resorts and hotels you can find anywhere in the world. Also, it is easily accessible by plane, and most of its landmarks and tourist locations can be accessed without a problem by boat or car from the main resorts located in the southern part of the island.
