Donana Says: You might want to check out my Merzouga homepage. All the memories are coming flooding back! You will have an amazing time! It does get very cold in the winter in Merzouga though so bring a good sleeping bag and some warm clothing for the night.
sachara Says: On your way from the the market with vegetables, herbs and spices to the impressive place where the villagers park their donkeys you can find separate marketplaces for animals.So we had a look at the place where the sheeps are sold. (picture 1,2 &3). The next place we looked...
sachara Says: Coming from north-west by the N13 from Erfoud or by the N12 from Nkob you will enter Rissani by a huge gate, the so-called bab. You can't miss it.I can't remember I entered Rissani by a gate in 1975. Anyway when I came back to Rissani after 33 years this nicily decorated bab...

Restaurant Café Merzouga: Lively place close to the souq and market

Kasbah Ennasra: Light lunch of tuna salad
sachara Says: At the third day of our stay in Kasbah Ennasra we were in the hotel around lunchtime. So we decided to take a light lunch before to head for the Circuit Touristique. We liked it very much to sit in the nicily decorated innercourt of this new kasbah hotel. During the day it...
Kasbah Ennasra: Breakfast at the poolside
sachara Says: In 2008 we visited Rissani in January. Though it was wintertime we preferred to have our breakfast outside in the innercourt at the poolside. With a fleece it was just warm enough in the early sunrays. We had a nice breakfast with juice, coffee, tea, bread, pancakes and...
Deserttrip by camel, the slow way
sachara Says: After our desert trip the fast way by 4WD, we arrived in Hassi Labied to make our desert trip the slow way by camel. I always like to ride on a camel. So I did for a few days in the White desert in Egypt and participate in a camelrace in Maralal in Kenya. This time we...
Desert trip by 4WD, the fast way
sachara Says: When we visited Rissani in 2008, we decided to make the 4WD deserttrip which our hotel Ennasra offered. From Erfoud we headed to the black desert. We visited a nomad family and a small village close to the Algerina border. After the tarred road we went off-road. Sometimes we...
From Ouarzazate and Nkob by car
sachara Says: In 2008 we came to Rissani by car. With Air Maroc we arrived in Ouarzazate at midnight. The next day we got our nice little hired car (Kia Picanto). We took a lovely scenic and quiet route from the Draa Valley, spending the night in Nkob half way, to Rissani.The tarred roads...
Maison Touareg: Local craft and interesting exhibition
sachara Says: On our way from Erg Chebbi back to Rissani we made a stop at Maison Touareg, just before we entered the town. It looked like we were the only visitors. We got a lot of information about all the local items which were exhibited in the courtyard, like pottery, furniture and...
sachara Says: In the souq and at the market of Rissani you can buy almost everything from food to clothes. I always stroll and look around in the souqs and at the markets just to get an idea of the local products. At the Rissani market I bought some spices to bring home. This time my...
sachara Says: From Rissani we made a trip into the black desert between Erfoud and Erg Chebbi. At some places we saw nomad dwellings at the almost empty plains. We visited one of the families and were allowed to look around to get a glimpse of the hard and basic life they live.We could...
sachara Says: It's very nice when you arrive in your hotel the host offers you a welcome tea. In the kasbah hotel Ennasra in Rissani we enjoyed our tea in the innercourt after our long desert trip. The tea is usually served with different kinds of sweets, cookies and nuts. It is a lovely...
angiebabe Says: If you want to have a guide to show you the sights and culture of the Rissani area - which was once the very important ancient sahara trading city of Sijillimassa and on the caravan routes down into the sub Sahara areas of Mauritania and Mali - then I would recommend a guide...
angiebabe Says: Beautiful circuit de touristique - a tar sealed route though narrow in places but very scenic and where many local people live and work so you not only see ruins of the ancient city of Sijillimassa that was here as an important trading centre for southern Morocco down...
Circuit Touristique: Ksar Oulad Abdelhalim
sachara Says: The Circuit Touristique is very scenic because of the palmgroves and the ksour. The Ksar Oulad Abdelhalim has an impressive gate and nice decorations. The Ksar Oulad Abdelhalim is about 4 km south-est of the towncentre of Rissani and about 2 km from the mausoleum of Moulay...
sachara Says: From Rissani we made an one day trip into the desert by 4wd. We arranged this trip at the Ennasra kasbah hotel in Rissani where we spent two nights before and after our bivouac in the Erg Chebbi . From Erfoud we went into the black desert. We visited a tiny village (picture...
sachara Says: About 50KM east of Rissani near the small village Merzouga is the Erg Chebbi, the highest sanddunes in Morocco. In 1975 I walked here for the first time in the Sahara sand.Here I got the first idea how the Grand Ergs in Algeria and other parts of the Sahara could be. Maybe I...
sachara Says: After I found the donkeys in 1975, I found not far from that donkey place the part of the market where the camels were. There were not many camels, but there were some camels anyway. What would be a market place at the edge of the desert without camels? For me it was the...
sachara Says: When I visited Rissani in 1975 I walked from the centre of Rissani a little bit away from the livily area in the direction of the desert. And there I found the donkey market, but also the 'parking lot' of donkeys. There is a huge donkey trade in Rissani. Donkeys seemed to be...
