 A Week in the Desert / (Aquí para Español)
Thumbnail description:
About 100 miles southeast of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, the desert town of Laayoune on the African coast provides an accessible, picturesque and downright amazing toeholds into the deep-desert culture of southern Morocco. Host Eleanor Bergeron offers a weeklong itinerary here, though other options are available. Highlights include learning all about Saharan foods such as harira and couscous, culture and traditions (including music & dancing), visiting local markets, observing wildlife around the oasis, and visiting the quaint fishing village where St. Euxpery wrote The Little Prince.
