THE ROAD BEST TRAVELLED PART 8: Atlantic Coast

THE ROAD BEST TRAVELLED PART 7: Atlantic Vistas — Fes to Casablanca

Posted on April 3, 2018April 3, 2018

THE ROAD BEST TRAVELLED Part 3: Ouarzazate – Gateway to the Desert

Posted on December 5, 2017February 8, 2018

This is deceptively fertile ground for an imagination that wants to go wild. Ouarzazate is another red city bleached to terracotta peach and pink by the relentless sun. It lies at the crossroads of age-old trade routes linking North and …

THE ROAD BEST TRAVELLED Part 2: Marrakech – Merzouga  (Erg Chebbi)

Posted on November 12, 2017February 8, 2018

It is just under 200 km from Marrakech to Ouarzazate, and yet, it’s a solid four-hour trip if you drive with appropriate care. If you don’t – that is, if you speed – you can arrive about 15 minutes soon. …
