MoroccoWhich is your favourite Morocco trekking region, and why?

I quite like the M’Goun area: big rugged mountains that compete with anything in the High Atlas for beauty, plus seemingly endless hamlets and villages where it’s possible to stop if only for a moment and sink into the rural lifestyles that feel almost timeless. Atop the bigger villages, old crumbling kasbahs still tower above for a bit of added cultural flavour and photogenicity.
