Tripcode: LAM

A short winter journey to the Moroccan Sahara: Berber kasbahs, remote sand dunes and snow-capped \r\nmountains

Southern Morocco is a perfect destination to visit from autumn through to spring: the air is crisp and clear, and the days pleasantly warm. From the desert town of Zagora we travel by camel into the Sahara. Returning north, we visit the beautiful kasbah of Ait Benhaddou and the crumbling remains of the great fortress-palace of Telouet. Nearby in a remote picturesque valley is the village of Tijhza, from where we take a walk into the High Atlas Mountains. There is also time to explore the 'Pink City' of Marrakech and the beautiful coastal town of Essaouira with its excellent seafood.
