The region of North Africa runs along the top of Africa, from the High Atlas mountains of Morocco, across the Saharan desert to the Nile Valley and the pyramids and Egypt and Sudan. In Morocco, Western Sahara and Algeria, we get the chance to meet the Berber people, the original inspiration for many a wandering traveller and hear stories and share tea in the mountains and in the Bedouin camps of the Sahara with these fascinating people. Connected by the flow of the Nile River, in Egypt and Sudan pyramids raise from the desert towards the sky. While the pharaohs got all the press, there are actually more pyramids in Sudan, with many more hidden gems . While retaining much its traditional history and influences, modern North Africa is also influenced by its African, European and Middle Eastern neighbours giving a great diversity of culture and people. Add stunning landscapes and North Africa is a wonderful destination for the inquisitive traveller.
