Fes to Merzouga

We enjoyed a long, but beautiful, travel day across the unique landscapes of Morocco to get to the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert. It was an eleven hour journey broken up with stops to take photos, eat lunch and take health breaks. We saw Macaque monkeys and took in the beauty of the Ziz Valley. Our accommodation is nestled amongst the dunes and is very nice with large rooms and two swimming pools. We hiked up a set of dunes to watch the sunset which was slightly hidden by clouds and then ate some Berber pizza with the ingredients inside. The evening concluded with a campfire with the hotel musicians who played us a few tunes and then let us try the drums and Moroccan Casanets.Read more
