The fortified village of Ait Benhaddou is one of the most impressive in Morocco. The walls and towers of the ksar rise up a sandstone hill, enclosing a jumble of kasbahs and sun-baked earth houses.

Some of the finest carved plasterwork in Morocco is found in this Koranic school, which also contains beautiful Zellij tilework in both colourful, geometric patterns and more calmer black and ochre.

The quiet medina of Chefchaouen has picturesque blue and white houses which dazzle in the sun. Heavy wooden doors are studded or carved, tiled entrances sparkle, and vines trail over the streets, trying to shade the cobbles below.

Just 6 kilometres from the main road, your trip to the Dades Gorge begins well with the magnificent Kasbah of Ait Youl standing high on a rocky outcrop above vibrant green almond trees.

The shifting Erg Chebbi dunes in Western Morocco reach as high as 250 metres and change colour from a gentle early pink to a piping hot orange, before softening once more as the sun dips into the desert.

Brightly coloured wool, dyed leather skins, embroidered slippers and shiny lanterns are just some of the things you can photograph in the souks of Marrakech - an area which will definitely confront all your senses.
