Morocco is the doorway to the Sahara, the largest desert in the world. As you look out onto the desert landscape, the cares and trappings of modern life drift away - fading into the soothing views of softly hued mountains and rolling dunes. The wonder of the Sahara can be enjoyed via a traditional camel ride or from the convenience of an all-terrain vehicle. As the sun begins to slip west, set up camp for an evening under the stars. An unspoiled night sky displays a sea of stars - clear and bright. The sweet and cool night air and the silence of the desert will lull you to sleep. Peaceful, like a celestial dream.
