(Editorial featured in Isle of Wight Country Press - 13/09/2013) Essence of Morocco - a land of nature and adventure Few countries in the world are blessed with as much diversity as Morocco. Diversity of geology and landscapes, of flora and fauna and of cultural heritages. A country which boasts of snow-capped mountains and vast sandy deserts, fertile plains and long white beaches, ancient ruins and modern resorts. Morocco has plenty to offer visitors, and will not fail to amaze all those curious enough to venture off the beaten track to discover its true nature. Its main cities include exotic Marrakech, and the world’s best-preserved medieval Arab Medina – Fez, the beautiful bastion of Essaouira on the Atlantic coast, and the blue-painted Chefchaouen with its echoes of Andalucia in the Rif Mountains. South of Marrakech, whether in the High Atlas valleys or down in the Sahara, the great Kasbahs and palm cultivations are an inspiration. Further south, the great emptiness of the Sahara is waiting to be explored. Island based travel company Journeys Elite specialises in bespoke holidays to Morocco. The company is run by Carolyn Hunt-Gouairat, and with her first hand, in-depth knowledge, she can provide clients with personalised itineraries for any duration and any number in their party. Everything is catered for, from a few nights in Marrakech or Fez, soaking up the luxuries of a beautiful riad and experiencing the mystery of the medinas, to an adventurous 4x4 safari across the Atlas Mountains and out to the Sahara Desert. For the seriously more adventurous, Journeys Elite is offering a 14 day camel trek across the Sahara Desert of southern Morocco. The trip will be led by Michael Asher, desert explorer, author and historian. The next trip is scheduled for February 2014.
