For a range of experiences that you can only enjoy in this part of the world. Take Morocco: Searing desert
landscapes harbor walled cities with keyhole gates and labyrinthine warrens of market stalls bursting with goods from
pungent spices to multihued fabrics. In The Gambia —wrapped snug in the arms of surrounding Senegal — an explosion
of nature preserves and national parks are home to a Noah’s Ark of animals of sea, earth, and air. And Tiberias, Israel, is
a modern city that boasts a history that goes back millennia.
