This talk provides a dazzling introduction to the magic of Morocco, from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech to the wild mountains of the High Atlas. Along the way we explore amazing markets, remote hilltop villages and ancient walled towns. Look out for high sand dunes on the edge of the Sahara, long airy ridges on the climb up Mount M'Goun (13,300 feet) and the great chasm of Todra Gorge. The landscapes are fascinating - the snow-capped mountains contrast with the heat of the desert - and the Berber and Tuareg people continue to live their traditional ways of life.
