As a traveler from Europe, I have always been fascinated by the exotic culture and beautiful landscapes of North Africa. So when I had the opportunity to visit Morocco, I couldn’t resist the chance to explore this vibrant country. And one of the highlights of my trip was my journey to the Sahara Desert.
Located in the southern part of Morocco, the Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, covering over 3.6 million square miles. It is a place of breathtaking beauty, with its vast stretches of golden sand, towering sand dunes, and clear blue sky. As I rode on the back of a camel, I couldn’t help but feel like I was in a scene from a movie.
But the Sahara is more than just a pretty sight. It is also home to the nomadic Berber people, who have lived in this harsh environment for centuries. I had the opportunity to visit a traditional Berber camp, where I learned about their way of life and enjoyed a delicious meal of tagine under the stars.
For adventure seekers, the Sahara offers plenty of activities, from sandboarding down the dunes to camping overnight in the desert. And for those seeking a more tranquil experience, watching the sunset over the vast desert landscape is a must-do.
But the Sahara is not the only attraction in Morocco. The country is also known for its bustling markets, beautiful architecture, and delicious cuisine. And with its proximity to Europe, it is the perfect destination for a quick getaway. So if you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable travel experience, I highly recommend adding Morocco and the Sahara Desert to your bucket list.
