1. Erg Chebbi Dunes

Erg Chebbi is just the desert in Morocco but many people believe it is Sahara. It is wrong, however, that the Sahara begins first in Algeria or in Western Sahara. In any case, the dunes Erg Chebbi are fantastic, they play with many different colors from red to white, gray etc, depending on the light and the weather. If it is sunny the color is red but if it is thunderstorm for example or approaching rain the color changes to white or gray. Sand dunes are high up to 150 m in some places, wide 5-10 km and long 25-30 km. Today there are no camps in sand dunes and I think it works well so that people do not destroy the environment. But you can take a camel ride around there and enjoy the trip or you can just walk on foot. It's fun even though it's harder to walk in the sand.

Our tour made a long day's drive from Erfoud to Aït Benhaddou. Having traveled from Ouarzazate to Erfoud via N10 in the valley between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains, we made the return trip via N12, R108 and N9 through and over the Anti-Atlas Mountains. Being significantly older than the High Atlas, these mountains are lower. However The trip is beautiful and barren. In many areas the scenery can be described as Lunar. N12 runs northeast-southwest through a plateau. At Tazzarine we turned west onto N108 which was a shorter route to N9 which heads northwest over the Tizi-n-Tinififft pass back to Ouarzazate. The trip up the pass was followed several dry, picturesque canyons. The pass itself provided a look along an impressive canyon. It also had a couple of stone huts which were "staffed" by the ever present souvenir hawkers. There are no facilities at the top of this pass.

if only more places lived up to their billing, as flint does, spectacular oasis set into rugged stoney landscape, plenty of bird life along the valley bottom, with the usual shepherds tending their flocks of sheep, goats and camels, walk up through the small fields and gardens, where the locals still tend to the corn, pomegranates, and dates. this is why we love Morocco....................(oh bye the way, we had no hassle and everyone we met was very friendly and welcoming)
