Morocco is a country of many contrasts. Fragrant, labyrinthine souks and imposing mountain ranges give way to lush valleys and the endless dunes of the Sahara desert.
We meet a diverse array of cultures in our travels throughout this vast land. Berbers, Arabs, nomadic tribesmen have all helped shape Morocco. Centuries ago, the caravan tradesmen helped build the imperial cities of Fes and Meknes, that served as rest stops to Europe's rich.
We visit gardens, ancient mosques, mud brick kasbahs, walled towns and buzzing market places. This truly remarkable country will have a sight and sound and scent waiting around every corner.
