A feast of colour, spice and sound, Morocco takes you from maze-like medinas to the great dunes of the Sahara.

The cities

The buzzing square of Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakech, and the ancient, labyrinthine medina of Fes.

The desert

A camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga, and a night in a desert camp under a blanket of stars. Best in spring or autumn.
