    It is about a 45 minute drive by four wheel drive from the hotel in Erfoud to the Saharan dunes. The drivers let you out and point you eastward. You can be lazy and take a camel across the dunes or you can set off on foot. We chose to hoof it. There is no danger of getting lost because a host of Touaregs will descend on you as soon as you set forth towards the towering dunes. Each Touareg will choose a few people and lead the small group to a somewhat isolated vantage point. Becky and I had this Touareg all to ourselves. He spoke no English, but a little French. I'm ignorant in French, but Becky remembers her French from her high school years. Becky and the Touareg had a nice conversation. I took photos.

    Ok. Ok. It's not really possible to take much of anything from the Sahara. But still, words of wisdom to live by when visiting any fragile ecosystem. The Sahara is spectacularly beautiful in its starkness, but we would not want to have the whole world to be this barren.

    The dunes of Mergouza

  • The sand dunes of Merzouga are one of the stars of the Moroccan tourist circuit.

    Most tour groups use Erfoud rather than Rissani as the staging post before Megouza: it has the necessary restaurants and hotels. Trips by Landrover can easily be arrranged, many leaving at a thoroughly ungodly hour in order to cantch the sunrise.

    At eleven or so they all arrive back in town. Duty done. Have a quick Coke and catch the bus out.

    Two or three kilometres southeast of town, thie fort is still used by the army so the very top of the hill is, frustratingly, off-limits.

  • Directions: ....You really can't miss it, the hill & fort are clearly visible from the town square.

    You have to go where locas go to have mint tea. Talk to some and always answer their smiles with a smile back. That's not going to hurt you!
    This guy just stared at me for almost 1 hour.
