North Africa & Islands

Granite islands with the best beaches in the Indian Ocean, an expensive place to do very little, and no safari.

A remote Berber oasis near the Libyan border, and a poor choice for a first trip to Egypt.

The main island: the airport, the capital, mountain forest and around 65 beaches.

Roman ruins you can walk around without a queue, a Mediterranean coast, and a stretch of real Sahara, all in…

The second island, a palm forest full of a nut that grows nowhere else, and two of the best beaches…

Old walled cities, a 4,000-metre mountain range and real Sahara dunes, all within a few hours’ drive of each other.

A walled red city and the country’s main launch pad for the Atlas and the Sahara.

The oldest and least polished of the imperial cities, and the one where a guide actually earns their fee.

North Africa’s highest mountain, a ninety-minute drive from Marrakech, plus the Berber valleys below it.

The proper Sahara dune field, at the end of a very long drive.
