Journey into the Moroccan Sahara

MOROCCO | Monday, 14 January 2013 | Views [97]

At the beginning of the journey, buildings are present on one side even as small dunes litter the other horizon. As the Berber guides direct the camels, they joke in broken Arabic with the student travelers.

The journey into the Moroccan part of the Sahara begins just outside of Merzouga, and the Berber guides assist the travelers in mounting the tethered camels in groups of five.
