Morocco Bound
Having been a travel writer/photographer since 1984, I have been privileged to visit many countries. Often I am asked which is my favourite destination. My standard reply is, ‘the one I have never been to’.
When we were approached by Back Roads Touring, to pick any destination from their multitude of destinations, it was I thought, going to be an interesting challenge!
Readers have reported to us that Back Roads Touring specialises in giving the mature traveller the best value for money. Now was our chance to review and report to all our readers.
So leaving out the countries I had already visited, I went through the list (https://backroadstouring.com/ ) I came to Morocco and I was smitten as I read the following
Kasbahs rising out of the desert, legendary mountain passes and ancient cities spilling over with a thousand and one sights. This tour will take you on a magic carpet ride through it all, where adventurous days give way to Arabian nights.
THE BACK-ROADS DIFFERENCE 
Learn a colourful couscous recipe on a traditional Moroccan homestay in Moulay Idriss
Become a Berber overnight and sleep in a luxury Sahara Desert camp
Channel your inner Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman with dinner and drinks in Casablanca’s Rick’s Café
