Morocco Itineraries
Marrakech or Fes First? How to Start a Morocco Tour
It depends on your flights — and on whether you want the desert as a climax or an opening.
Sahara Desert
What to Pack for the Sahara (and What to Leave in the Riad)
Layers, a scarf, closed shoes — and permission to skip the costume.
Fes notes

Transportation

Tea is not a transaction. Shopping can be. Knowing the difference is part of travelling here.
Sahara Desert
