More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the van at dawn and the road ahead is a shifting sequence of medinas, cedar forests and ochre desert—Morocco unfurls in layers. The city scents change: sea salt and diesel in Tangier, orange blossom and spices in Fes, then the dry, mineral air of the Sahara where tall dunes dare you to climb them. Nights vary just as much, from riads in Marrakech to star-lit burlap in a bivouac.
