From the wide-open expanse of the Sahara to the snow-dusted mountains of Morocco, a trip to Africa should be on everyone’s bucket list. The second-largest continent in the world, it comprises 54 countries and covers 20 percent of the earth’s land area.

Mountain hiking and desert stargazing in Morocco
Anyone can dip into Marrakech – but only those who venture further afield uncover the authentic side of this magical North African country. Morocco pairs the rugged Atlas Mountains with gloriously chaotic bazaars, historic forts and the world-famous Sahara desert. This in-depth Culture Trip tour will let you truly get under the skin of Morocco – from discovering Casablanca with a local guide and stargazing in Merzouga with an astrologist, to scrambling through the carved canyons of the Dades Gorge on a guided hike. Along the way, you’ll dip into the medina in Fes, dine by a waterfall in the Rif Mountains and journey across the desert on a camel at sunrise, an experience you will never forget.
