BARBARA WRIGHT SAN ROSTRO
landscape of red cliffs, fig orchards, and
sculpted red-rock formations. En route,
we should see nomad families camped
with their flocks of sheep. On our way
to Marrakesh, we visit the spectacular
mud-brick citadel of Ait Ben Haddou, a
World Heritage Site.
Day 11 Essaouira Whitewashed houses
with blue shutters and ornate doors give
the 18th century walled town of Essaouira
a decidedly Mediterranean atmosphere.
We explore the port, where bright blue
fishing boats lie at anchor, and the
bustling fish market. This charming town
has cast its spell on many artists over the
years—Orson Welles filmed scenes for the
film Othello here in 1949.
Days 12-14 Marrakesh Once known as
the “red city” for its rose-tinted buildings,
Marrakesh has Berber rather than Arab
origins. We explore the 11th century
medina and the central square called
the Djemaa el Fna, replete with snake
charmers, fire-eaters, and fortune
tellers. In the fabled souks, we find
traditional artists on every corner and
everything from pottery and fabrics
to silver and spices on display. Depart on
Day 14.

Join us for a six-day trek through the striking High
Atlas Mountains, with an optional hike up M’Goun
(13,343'), the third highest peak in North Africa. Our
hike brings us through picturesque mud-brick villages,
and higher up, we meet nomadic shepherds. We often
visit homes to share a cup of mint tea with these
friendly, open, mountain people. Our journey also
explores the medieval walled city of Fez and the storied
bazaars of Marrakesh, where artisans beckon.
