Who expected this Saharan landscape? Not moi! The Moroccan Sahara is 30% rocky. An amazing part of the world to explore. That would be the hubs and I enjoying a Moroccan moment.
Casablanca's old French Colonial buildings fascinated me, but I wish Morocco had the money to renovate them!
We saw a lot of this part of Morocco as we drove through the Sahara Desert which makes up 70% of Morocco.
Driving along the road we saw a semi-nomadic tribe. They allowed us to visit with them in their home where they live for 6 months of the year. It was an amazing set up. The baby is 2 weeks old and proud mumma wears the gold necklace her husband bought her for producing a son and heir.
Taking a tour is a great way to make new friends. Our Moroccan tour guide Abbe is in the centre with new Aussie friends Ron, Ashne and Chris. I'm on the right. Just stopped to see a huge reservoir near Erfoud, the most easterly part of the Sahara we visited.
I thought Berber Denise might amuse you. What fun we had riding camels up to the top of the highest sand dune in Africa and watching the sunset while our feet baked in the hot sand.
Signing off for now, bad me for blogging! Tried to resist. Hope you're all doing great while I'm enjoying my travels and getting all these story ideas!

Berber Denise! What a pretty orange head wrap & scarf! I really enjoyed the pics & have been watching a bit about Morocco in this new adventure TV series. You are so lucky to have ridden a camel! What fun that must've been! :)
Wow, fantastic! You're right, that doesn't really match what my imagination produces when it hears the word "Sahara." Love it! Thanks for sharing. :)
Looks like you guys are having the BEST time!
It's so nice to see you relax and having fun.
Enjoy the rest of your trip!

I like Berber Denise. Looks like you two are having a lot of fun, and soaking up a lot of new experiences. Good for you.
The new mother and baby is a beautiful picture. There is so much pride and joy shinning out of her face.

Oh, you're bringing back memories! How I loved Morocco. I was Berber Amie as well--it really keeps your head cool, against expectations! Have a wonderful time!
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous. I'm in love with Africa right now. Currently writing about Kenya which, of course, is entirely different from Morocco, but still... Love it. Love the turban too!
You lucky duck. Looks fabulous.
Wooooooooooooooooowwwww...
I've always wanted to go to Morocco. Casablanca and Rabat in particular, but the hinterland looks quite rugged and adventure-laden as well.
