A North African kingdom of extraordinary sensory richness, imperial architectural grandeur, and a cultural depth that reveals itself slowly and rewards every traveller who ventures beyond the obvious with experiences of genuinely transformative beauty and complexity — where the labyrinthine medieval medina of Fez shelters the world’s oldest continuously operating university within one of humanity’s most extraordinarily intact ancient urban environments, the Sahara Desert’s Erg Chebbi dunes glow in shades of amber and crimson at golden hour in a landscape of breathtaking elemental beauty, and the blue-painted streets of Chefchaouen create the most extraordinarily surreal and photogenic mountain village in all of North Africa.
