Southern Morocco
A trip to southern Morocco is a journey through stark gorges and palm-studded oases that slowly give way to the Sahara desert. And it is the birthplace of two of Morocco’s dynasties, the Saadians and Alawites (also spelled Alaouite). Spend the night in a kasbah, a feudal castle. Tour a ksar, an adobe citadel. Traverse sand dunes on foot, by camel or jeep. And take in the beauty of a very different Morocco.
