Where in Morocco should you go?
Six regions, each with a different reason to visit. Here is what each one is actually like u2014 and who it suits.
Morocco’s tallest dunes and its most photographed desert horizon. The easiest Sahara to reach and the best introduction to it.
Wilder, emptier and reached only by 4×4 across fifty kilometres of open desert. Where you go when you want nobody else in the frame.
Lunar rock and rolling hills an hour from Marrakech. No sand, but the best stargazing you can reach before dinner.
A 200-kilometre ribbon of palm groves and mud-brick kasbahs following the old caravan road towards Timbuktu.
Berber villages, mule tracks and North Africa’s highest summit at 4,167 metres. Snow in winter, wildflowers in spring.
Film-set kasbahs and the gateway between the mountains and the sand.
