The truth is yes. Inma is right;), and you should have done the second part of the visit to Morocco.
We stayed at our arrival at Merzouga desert. We were eager to spend the night in the middle of the dunes, watching the stars and be able to hunt one of those incredible sunsets. Upon arrival to the hotel and we got to the tour that takes you to spend the night among the dunes. Note that the hotels in this area are very charm. You're on the road well rectita and hotels will advertise with posters. Hence, a small track and arrive at the foot of the dunes where the hotels, so the views are quite impressive.
So we take our first evening to give a turn around. The truth is that it seems that the dunes are cerquita and the vast dunes of 200 meters is not much else, but you start walking and do not arrive ... so we stopped at a little girl and we decided to rest and see how it gets dark.
The next morning we took a jeep and gave us a few laps around. One thing caught our attention. True, there are still nomadic, and go where it takes time. It seems incredible that so close to modern civilization and groups still exist.
the afternoon, they came for us and for the dunes camellitos.
After almost a couple of hours between sand, up and down and unbearable pain, we come to the tents where we would spend the night.
Awesome. A few shops just below the large dune. As the time was, there was nobody, it seems that we were alone in the desert. The truth is that they are very well mounted. A small camp.
A special moment was when the clerk here, thought up the super dune was a matter of a minute, so I headed toward the ridge. A little uncomfortable walking down the slope with boots tucked in the sand, and after a couple of stops breathing there I had the crest a few feet away. So after reaching it and taking the camera to catch the best picture of the world, from the highest point, I ran a wind full of sand that I lived very well for my sweaty face and clothes ...
After this, a good dinner in the tent and "rest." Why, if the wind and sand permits.
Luckily in the morning, we got to see the sunrise, and the truth is that it is comfortable sitting on a dune, waiting for sunrise. Good times.
Well, the truth is little more, almost the photos can best describe what we were seeing.
After reaching the dunes, and we started moving again, more roads, with an intermediate stop in Kelaa Mgouna, which already spent a night, but again at that especacular is, and the next day to Marrakech, where we did last minute shopping and discussed with more than one vendor. The truth is that the track is fun bargaining.
Conclusions. What about that far yet. Just a few miles away from home, you a totally different world. A fascinating world, contradictory, full of amazing landscapes and people of all kinds. The truth is that more things unite us than we think and where you can see quite clearly, the cultural heritage we have left on the peninsula.
we repeat, that we are safe.
Until next
