The article of "Jerusalem Post" was published after a visit of its editorial team to Morocco, where the newspaper organized in Marrakech, in partnership with major media and economic institutions, its forum on investment and economy for the year 2022.

The newspaper wrote in this sense that at the heart of this trip, "the light illuminates those unique sensory and human experiences, which we carry on our return and we keep forever: the light of the setting sun, the memory of the flowery roads, the scenes of the cliffs at the bottom of the valley, the delicious taste of spices, the gentle breeze brushing your face, the echo of a melody, the charm of a meeting with a brilliant stranger ... Across the Kingdom of Morocco, there is a light with the power to inspire and stimulate".

In its review, the newspaper emphasized that Morocco is more than just a country you visit, it is a country that breathes life through its arts, its vibrant culture and the creativity of its skilled craftsmen.

He stressed that his group is ready to go further in the competition and make the next generations dream, praising the contribution of Moroccan fans who support the Atlas Lions.
