Countdown to Morocco

"Hello. We're interested in a week-long tour, leaving from Fes and ending in Marrakech; including a short camel ride, overnight stay in the Sahara, and visits to cultural sites. If possible, we'd also like to see goats in trees! What are our options, please?"
Planning for our Sep '10 Morocco trip began with this message, sent to several local tour groups recommended by friends who will be hosting part of our stay. Since then, we've convinced ourselves to make this a real adventure... With a backpack each, a camera, Arabic and French phrasebooks, and various maps (including the all-important one for l'Office National des Chemins de Fer du Maroc [Morocco's national railway]), we plan to explore the North African country on our own, sans guide. So psyched!
