Overview
On the northern edge of Africa, dividing the coastal plains and the Saharan basin, lie the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas mountains. They are the heart of Morocco, home to Africa’s most beautiful landscapes and geography, with its own unique music, culture, and history. Join two friends as they cover the surrounding regions, right from the modern city of Fes to Medina, a place with old-world charm. As they jam under the night sky and participate in a traditional Gnawa ceremony, they encounter the diversity of a country that’s exotic and simple in equal parts.
