WEST COAST, MOROCCO
On Morocco’s west coast, Atlantic waves break on deserted beaches and red-rock cliffs, with just a few Berber villages between them. On The Go Tours’ walking holiday begins in the very different setting of Marrakesh’s medina, but then picks up the path along the 40-mile coastal stretch south of Essaouira. There’s a traditional approach to baggage forwarding: a camel caravan accompanies walkers among the dunes, wadis and argan trees, carrying everything needed to set up camp each night.
