When the heat is on escape to the cool charms of the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains.
One of Morocco's most important cultural centres, Marrakech is an exotic city with magical flavours, which bestows an enchanting world of dazzling sights and sounds, authentic Arab and African cultures and fascinating ancient monuments. Its wildly beating heart is Djemaa el-Fna Square, set on the edge of the old city. Rows of open-air food stalls are set up here and mouth-watering aromas fill the air. Jugglers, storytellers, snake charmers, magicians, acrobats and belly dancers can often be found performing here. Visit the historic souk, one of the best in Morocco, for a really unique shopping experience.

Cleverly positioned between the Mediterranean and the Sahara, Tunisia's heady blend of North Africa and Arabia is sure to enchant even the most discerning of travellers. The north has velvety hillsides, olives and vines, whilst the south has genuine Lawrence-of-Arabia-style dunes and date palm oases. Desert experiences on camel back, or by jeep, are highly recommended. Founded by the legendary Queen Dido around 800 BC, Carthage is adorned with ancient remnants of its turbulent conflict with Rome. Flower-clad villas ramble over the city's archaeological sites and warm, sandy beaches fringe the outskirts. From Byrsa hill, there is a superb view of the Punic Ports - the civil and military harbours of ancient Carthage. For a real taste of history visit the National Museum, which exhibits an impressive collection of Punic tomb sculptures. But the most notable remains of Roman Carthage are the Antoine Baths, reputedly the largest outside Rome. On starry summer nights, you can enjoy a concert in the amphitheatre and soak up the atmosphere of this colourful resort.
