A Journey Along a Route That Shaped Morocco.<\/strong> For centuries, gold and other precious goods travelled north from the south via trans-Saharan trade routes into Morocco. This journey follows the landscapes and places connected with that trade: from Marrakesh across the passes of the High Atlas to fortified earthen villages, green palm groves and finally the vast dunes of Erg Chebbi.<\/p>\n

South of the Atlas, kasbahs and ksour tell of a time when trade routes passed through valleys and oases. Near Rissani lie the ruins of Sijilmassa, once one of the most important northern hubs of trans-Saharan trade. Recent excavations have even provided a rare material indication of the city\u2019s gold economy. From there, the landscape changes once again: through the Draa Valley and the Souss, the journey continues into the Arganeraie and onwards to the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

A private journey for travellers who want to experience Morocco not only as a collection of individual destinations, but as one great, interconnected story of history, landscapes and cultural regions.<\/p>\n<\/div>
