Don't miss the opportunity to travel over the High Atlas, across the Draa Valley, and onto the great dunes of the Sahara desert. If you go, plan to stay a while. Vans journey from the desert to Marrakech several times a week. The silence and stillness are a tranquility you will find intoxicating. Don't be surprised when one of your camel guides offers to deliver you across the dessert to Timbuktu, a short fifty days' camel journey into Mali.
Moody camels make great fun.

These tensions are challenging - especially in your own mind. Be mindful while traveling in Morocco, especially in cities like Marrakech. Your journey is what you make it.
