See the Imperial Cities with their palaces and sprawling souks. Discover the majestic beauty of the Sahara Desert where you can head off into the dunes on your camel and spend a night under the stars. Walk through some of the dramatic Atlas gorges, explore a kasbah of Gladiator fame and cross the High Atlas Mountains. Then it's off to Marrakech to see one of the world's great spectacles as the Djemma el Fna comes alive at dusk with acrobats, jugglers and snake-charmers!
