🏜️ Zagora Desert: Gateway to the Sahara 🌅🐪✨

#mediterranean 📍Zagora Desert, Morocco Often called the “gateway to the Sahara”, the Zagora Desert offers a taste of Morocco’s vast desert landscapes — with golden dunes, camel treks, and nights under a sky full of stars. 🐪 Desert Journey We rode camels across the dunes at sunset, the sky painted in shades of orange and pink. The desert felt endless and calm, with only the sound of footsteps in the sand. 🏕️ Camp & Culture At our Berber desert camp, we shared mint tea, listened to traditional music by the fire, and slept in tents beneath the starlit sky. It was both simple and magical — a glimpse into local traditions. 🌅 Sunrise & Silence Morning brought a quiet beauty: the sun rising over the dunes, casting long shadows across the sand. The stillness of the desert made it unforgettable. ⸻ Travel Tips: 🚙 Tours from Marrakech to Zagora take about 2 days — often with stops in the Atlas Mountains and Aït Benhaddou 🐪 Camel rides are iconic, but 4x4 options are available for comfort 🌌 Bring warm layers — nights in the desert get surprisingly cold 📸 Don’t miss sunrise and sunset for the best light over the dunes
