11 Best Adventure Resorts Around the World, from Norway to Nepal

Five hours from Marrakech, Dar Ahlam is one of those special places you have to see to believe (and an epic element of travel to Morocco). The 14-room Kasbah is a true oasis on the edge of the desert, complete with serene palm groves, manicured topiaries and blooming gardens by Louis Benech, the designer of Paris’ Jardin des Tuileries. The Moroccan fantasy continues with the outdoor activities at Dar Ahlam: days are spent with a personal guide exploring the region’s rich heritage, whether trekking to the Valley of Roses, visiting a hilltop Berber village or partaking in a traditional tea ceremony.
