Adventures in Morocco from the Souks to the Sahara

When Alice Morrison decided to take on the challenge of competing in the Marathon des Sables, a six-day ultramarathon across the Sahara, she did not know it would transform her life in completely unexpected ways. To prepare for the race, she moved to Morocco and fell in love with the country and its people—and decided to stay.

In Adventures in Morocco, she vividly brings to life her experience of the country, from bartering for carpets in a crowded souk to joining a group of nomads in their solitary existence in the desert. Her infectious zest for life ensures that the warmth and generosity of the people shines through. So if you're thinking of going to Morocco, or want to recall your time there, this is an unbeatable read.
