The Sahara

Led by berber locals, we rode camels out into the Sahara at Erg Chebbi and camped in the dunes. The sunrise and sunset made incredible colours on the dunes, and the camels were very affable.

Todra Gorge

In the morning we hiked to visit a Berber family who live a traditional life: a wool tent in summer and caves in the winter. In the afternoon we walked through a Palmeraie and met some very cute boys who tried to teach Fiona Berber.

Ouarzazate

We visited Kasbah Taouirt at Ouarzazate in the baking desert heat. Moroccan nobles used this old fort to shut up their women and keep cool in the sun.

Ait Benhaddou

A gorgeous Kasbah where films likes Gladiator and Jesus of Nazareth were filmed. We attended a cooking class at Hussein's house where his sister Fatima taught us how to cook a mean tajine.
