Firmly rooted in Africa, yet less than four hours flying
time from London, Morocco is exciting, exotic and enchanting. From
bustling souks, crumbling kasbahs and biblical villages to snow-capped
mountains, amazing sand seas and snake charmers, it has everything
you could ever want and much more.
This 12-day trip takes in the
best of Southern Morocco. Flying into the fabled ‘pink’ city
of Marrakech, we will spend two days photographing its souks, gardens,
palaces and people before crossing the Atlas mountains to the Glaoui
Kasbah at Telouet and the magnificent kasbah of Ait Benhaddou,
Morocco’s best example
of a fortified village and a backdrop to numerous movies including
Gladiator and Jesus of Nazareth.
After exploring the Dades Valley,
Dades Gorge and Todra Gorge in 4x4 vehicles, we reach the oasis
town of Tinerhir, before heading south to the Sahara, staying in
an auberge on the edge of the dunes (they’re yards from the
back door!) before trekking on camels into the dunes for two nights
in the desert, staying in Berber camps and shooting the amazing
sand dunes.
Once our desert escapade is over
we travel to the towns of Agdz and Nkob, where we stay in a converted
Kasbah, then on to Ouarzazate, home of the Taourirt Kasbah before
crossing the High Atlas Mountains again to Marrakech.
