In-Depth Information
Shadowing the High Atlas as you head west brings you to the sharp cleft of the
Todra
Gorge
for a day's hiking amid the canyons and
palmeraies
(palm groves). From here,
head past Ouarzazate to
Aït Benhaddou
, with its fairytale-like 11th-century kasbah.
En route to the Atlantic, check into a luxurious riad in
Marrakesh
, where you can
spend as many sunsets as possible on the theatrical Djemaa el-Fna, and then don't stop un-
til you reach
Essaouira
, with its artsy seaside medina and fishing port.
