Erg Chebbi, Morocco
Camels, sandstorms & the picturesque rolling dunes of Erg Chebbi of the Moroccan Sahara, a highlight of any visit to the country.
Morocco || Getting Around
I’m in a town called Er Rachidia in northeastern Morocco. I’m not a million miles (60 kilometres or so) from the closed border with Algeria & even closer to the Moroccan Sahara, my next port of call on this my ongoing Moroccan odyssey. The last week of...
Dades & Todra Gorge, Morocco
I’ve been off the radar for a few days. It’s not like I was off the beaten track & out in the middle of nowhere. I wasn’t, it just felt that way. Since I left the hammada landscape of Ouarzazate a few days ago, I have spent 2 nights in two different...
Ait Benhaddou, Morocco

Ouarzazate, Morocco
My Moroccan adventures continue. I’ve crossed over the Atlas Mountains into what is classed as the southern oasis, the Moroccan pre-Sahara. Yes, the Sahara dunes and the border with Algeria are not too far away & I’m slowly making my way there. The landscape...

Jebel Toubkal, Morocco

Marrakesh, Morocco
Marrakesh (you can spell it Marrakech either, as the Moroccans themselves do) has been interesting. Fun, exhausting, & a little bit frustrating, but always interesting. Truth be told there are no real stand-out, must-see sights in the city; it’s the city itself...
Essaouira, Morocco
I arrived in Essaouira earlier today. It’s a busy town; there are lots of tourists around. It’s that kind of place, the first firmly-on-the-tourist-trail location I’ve visited in Morocco. ______________________________________________________________________...
