South of the Sahara, travelers may discover both strikingly unscathed natural sites and peoples who have clung on to many of their age-old cultural traditions. The north of the continent, for its part, from Marrakech in Morocco to Luxor in Egypt by way of Carthage (Tunisia) and Leptis Magna (Libya) offers some of the world`s most stunningly beautiful monumental sites. Africa is where life begun with Black Eve, Africa is where civilization first developed on the Banks of the river Nile.

But above all, getting in contact with the native inhabitants makes it an unforgettable visit.
