Sahara Desert, Morocco
We say “desert” - we mean “Sahara”. And this is no accident: the Sahara is the largest sandy region on the globe, stretching in North Africa from the Red Sea to the Atlantic for almost five thousand kilometers!
Dunes reaching a height of 300 meters, lush oases and endless dunes extending beyond the horizon - all this is one of the most amazing landscapes of the planet.
Sahara lies within the borders of eleven states, but you can visit without problems, perhaps, only three of them - Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco. A visit to the Sahara is a must. Our photo was taken in Morocco, so we prepared the TOP-5 things that you definitely need to do if you find yourself in this African country:
- Admire the cliffs of Todra Gorge. The narrow Todra Gorge is one of the most impressive places in the Atlas Mountains.
- Bargain in the markets. The markets of Morocco are a real treasury, where instead of gold coins and emeralds, rare spices, traditional ceramics, skillfully woven carpets, antiques, oriental delicacies, jewelry and a thousand other useful things are stored.
- Plunge into the bustle of Djemaa el Fna. In the center of Marrakech, in Jamaâ El Fna Square, traffic does not stop for a minute, day or night. Wandering artists, fortune-tellers, beggars, snake charmers, astrologers, acrobats - you will not meet here!
- Climb the Jebel-Tubkal peak. To take a break from the bustle of Arab cities, you should go to the highest peak in North Africa - Jebel Tubkal.
- See the "blue miracle" on the slopes of Rif-Reef. One of the most beautiful cities in Morocco - Chefchaouen has retained its original appearance from the time of its foundation, so it seems as if time itself froze in stone facades, mosaic window arches and cobbled squares. ⠀
And do not forget that on European low-cost airlines you can budget fly to Morocco. Who was that like it?
