Sahara Desert: A Journey of Camels, Sand, and Starry Skies

If you're visiting Morocco, one place you must see is the Sahara Desert in Merzouga. This is the gateway to the Sahara, where you'll find an endless expanse of golden sand. Located an 8-hour drive from Marrakech, you can also catch a glimpse of the lives of people living on the edge of the desert and the city. On the map, it's close to the Algerian border. 🏜️ Highly recommended are the sunrise and sunset camel rides 🐪. The colors of the sky and desert change dramatically with the sunrise and sunset, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene that will leave you in awe. At night, in the pitch-black desert with no artificial lights, you can have the starry sky all to yourself. If you're visiting during the winter, be sure to dress warmly as it gets cold at night. Experience the grandeur and energy of nature in Merzouga, Sahara Desert 🌙✨. Be sure to include it in your itinerary when visiting Morocco.
