We took the road from Ouarzazate to Marrakesh and were blown away by the natural beauty of the area as we drove on narrow roads with many switchbacks, climbs and declines through The Draa River gorge that were cut into the earth years ago. The Draa Valley is home to Berber villages with its Kasbahs, sand dunes, and lush green plains. It begins its journey from the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and 1100 km. later drains into the Atlantic Ocean. It is Morocco’s largest river. Our trip took us through the high Atlas Mountains with its many deposits of copper, iron and other metals turning the mountainous soil into mounds of reds, greens, blacks and other earthen tone colors. The trip took us through Col du Tichka, Morocco's highest mountain pass at 7410 ft which lies above the Marrakesh plains and gateway to the Sahara Desert. The trip was spell-binding.

Merzouga is a small village in the southeast of Morocco and it is the last settlement in front of the boundless desert - the gate to the desert... Here people come from all over the world to see the real elements - a sea of bright orange sand, to ride a desert ship - camel and fall in love once and for all times in this oriental tale. We preferred to meet the dawn in the desert, but stopped to spend the night in a small town of pink color - Erfoud, where the locals kindly provided us with a roof with a mattress and pillows so we could get some sleep before we go to the desert. The brightest thing that is remembered in this area is the night sky. Illuminations of small towns cannot give so much light to cover the light of distant stars and so the sky in the desert is studded with diamonds and it is impossible to forget it... We did not fall asleep that night, admiring the light of the silver stars, we forgot about the time, and at 3.00 o'clock in the morning, it was time to move into the desert to see how the reddened sun rose from the sand dunes and changed the color of the endless desert from gray to bright orange.

Dicht bij de natuur leven, slapen onder de sterren, koken op hout,kort na zonsondergang naar bed en met zonsopgang weer op. Keywords: avontuur, rust, bewustwording, woestijn, Arabische- en Nomaden cultuurWij organiseren reizen door de Marokkaanse Sahara, per kameel en jeep safari's naar Erg Checaga. Respect en zelfvoorziening zijn voor ons erg belangrijk. Gebruikmaken van de middelen die beschikbaar zijn, wat het land ons zelf te geven heeft. Een van onze eerste doelen is om de bivak uit te breiden naar meerdere tenten en daarbij een ecologische lodge te verwezenlijken. Wij willen daarbij groene energie, die de woestijn ons schenkt, benutten. We zijn met een project bezig voor toevoer van water, zodat we het land kunnen verbouwen. Op die manier creëren we ook werkgelegenheid voor de plaatselijke bevolking.Wij delen graag onze kennis en liefde, voor Marokko en de Sahara, door reizigers een onvergetelijke avontuurlijke woestijn beleving te bieden.Startpunt: Vanuit M'hamid of de plaats waar u op dat moment in Marokko verblijft.
