Sahara
Only a few hours from Marrakech through the High Atlas Mountains, once you have crossed the Anti-Atlas you emerge the other side of Morocco, where you become face to face with another world. The Sahara!
The Sahara Desert of Morocco is also one of the less tourist explored places where some of our off the beaten track adventures take place. This magnificent immense land occupies 1/6 of Morocco'’s surface and is part of the Sahara; (Arabic: ربكلا ءارحصلاSahraṣ-al-Kubrā, "The Great Desert") the world's second largest desert. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west, the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea on the north, Algeria on the east, and Mauritania on the south.
Our adventures lead you into the Sahara of Morocco, across a platform of rugged rocky mountains, golden sand dunes, pebbly plateaus, dry river beds and fertile oases. Natural reserve for a variety of wild life including gerbils, cape, hares, deer, jackals, sand foxes, desert hedgehogs, cobras, vipers and various bird species.
You step into a land where people had lived thousands of years ago since the last ice age. Fossils of dinosaurs and other river animals have been also found which suggest that the Sahara was then a much wetter place than it is today.
The dominant ethnicities in the Sahara are: The Berbers of Ait Atta, who built a prosperous empire in the heart of the desert all along the Draa and Ziz valley in the form of Kasbahs and ksour villages. The Touareg nomads, who, to present still inhabit and move across wide Sahara surfaces along with their herds of dromedaries and goats, the most commonly domesticated animals in the Sahara. The Arabized Berbers including the Bedouins, Hassaniya-speaking Maure (Moors, also known as Sahrawi) are also relatively within the territory. And finally the black African communities who migrated during the trade with sub-Saharan neighbors. This ethnic diversity creates a mix and a fusion of in terms of culture and customs. Approaching the Sahara society enables you to feel the cultural fusion among these different communities in the way they dress, speak and think.
The Sahara of Morocco is an inspirational experience at night, with the air being crisp, clean and clear and the stars being so close you can almost touch them.
Real Morocco!
