Morocco day 6 – Sahara to Oaurzazate

Up at sunrise, to watch the sun rise over the desert and see the colour of the sand change…

Pack up the tent and breakfast

Back on the camels (jimmy hendrix & Bob Marley) for the 75 minute ride back to Merzouga

where we had a little more breakfast and changed at a beautiful hotel on the edge of the dunes

and jumped back in the car

past wild camels

we stopped to try camel milk in Rissani
(it didn’t get a very positive response from anyone)

Along the road of a thousand kasbahs in the Dades valley

Todra gorge

Lunch at Tinerhir at La Petite Gorge where we had Berber pizza with our tangine.

Views seen along the way

Through Kelaat Mgouna  and the valley of the roses.

Amongst the Palmerie at Skoura for a quick walk

On to our hotel in Ouarzazate. A serene little paradise after the craziness of the drive.
We attempted a swim at the hotel but it was a little too cold.

Dinner at the hotel whilst we watched the sun set.

Another awe-filled day 🙂

Some cool signs we saw on this trip…
