There is a moment, somewhere between the blue-washed alleys of Chefchaouen and the amber silence of the Sahara, when Morocco stops feeling like a destination and starts feeling like a dream you’ve had before. This 12-day journey is built around that feeling.

We begin on the Atlantic coast, where the Hassan II Mosque rises from the ocean like a prayer made stone. We wind north through the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, where every wall is painted the colour of a cloudless sky. We walk the medieval lanes of Fes — the world’s largest car-free city — past tanneries that have worked leather the same way for a thousand years. We cross the Middle Atlas, pause in a cedar forest where wild Barbary macaques watch from the branches, and descend into the Sahara as the sun turns the Erg Chebbi dunes to fire.

And then the quiet. Two nights camped among the dunes, with nothing above you but the Milky Way and nothing around you but the oldest silence on earth.

From there, the journey carries you through the gorges of Todra, the valley of a thousand kasbahs, and the ancient earthen towers of Aït Ben Haddou — before the High Atlas Mountains deliver you, finally, into the organised chaos and intoxicating beauty of Marrakech.
