Morocco
Desert landscapes and encounters with people in my stories from Morocco.
My Travel Stories
From Sand to Cedars
From Merzouga to Fez via Erfoud’s fossil workshops, Damia, Zaida’s grills, cedar forests, Barbary macaques and Ifrane.
Barefoot into Silence
Sunset with a camel caravan, a night at a desert camp and a barefoot morning among the dunes of Erg Chebbi.
At the Edge of the Dunes: Tea, Stone and Song
With Aziz near Merzouga: tea with a nomadic family, fossils, an old mine and Gnawa music in Khamlia.
From Canyons to Dunes: Following Hospitality towards the Sahara
From the Dades hairpins and Todra Gorge through Melaab to lunch at Mustafa’s home in Erfoud and the first dunes of Merzouga.
Across the Atlas to the City That Became Troy
Across the High Atlas to Aït Ben Haddou, the film location for Troy, then through Ouarzazate, Skoura and the Valley of Roses to Dades.
Marrakech – A City Where You Can Lose Your Way and Find a Story
From Mustafa’s evening welcome to the medina, souks, Bahia Palace and Majorelle Garden — my Marrakech, its craftspeople, stories and tanjia.
