This exciting brief had me tearing through the Morocco Atlas Mountains, across more than 1000 miles from Riad to Riad (dwellings dating back to the 11th century that offer the weary traveller a sanctuary to sleep). The fact that it was Ramadan meant our long and arid journeys were made on empty stomachs. Luckily the colourful, weird and wonderful people we met along the way made it worthwhile.
