The Atlas Mountains
Morocco
If you want out of the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh, the Atlas mountains are a short drive away. These ranges give way to harsh deserts, awe-inspiring gorges and ancient castles. Trek and/or camp with a native expert. Keep it local and stay at a Berber home, where you will feast on succulent, homemade Moroccan dishes. Then splurge on a secluded mountain lodge, where unpretentious luxury among nature awaits you. Continue your exotic experience by visiting a small a Moroccan town such as picturesque Moulay Idriss, located astride two green hills and overlooking beautiful mountains ranges.
