SOUTHERN MOROCCO & THE SAHARA DESERT
From the clay ramparts of the Ksar Aït Ben Haddou to the copper dunes of the Erg Chebbi in the Sahara Desert, Southern Morocco varies greatly. Explore Ouarzazate, once a key stop on the trans-Saharan trade route, where the desert's edge begins. These salt-crusted flats are carved by the trade routes of caravans that once threaded these lands, linking North Africa with Timbuktu, and the traces of that history linger in every mud-brick kasbah.

- Traverse the date-groves and kasbahs of the Draa Valley
- Enter the desert at Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes
