Along the way you meet women who keep Moroccan crafts alive: the embroiderers of Kasbah Myriem in Midelt, the rose cooperatives of the Dades Valley and the cooks of the Amal centre in Marrakech. You sleep in well-reviewed riads and an established desert camp in Erg Chebbi, with the option of a private tent with its own bathroom.
