From Marrakech into the Desert - Morocco |
|
Morocco is a country in the northwest of Africa with a population of 34 million, comparable in size to Iraq or California. The Atlas Mountain Range, running from the north east to the south west, forms the backbone of the country. The region south east of the Atlas Mountains belongs to the Sahara Desert. We set out from Marrakech driving through the Atlas mountains into the desert. Near the Algerian border we started our 5-day hiking tour through the desert where most of the photos originate from.
If you are planning to visit the south east of Morocco you may be interested in having a quick look at these photos. Click on the links below to view the pictures. We have taken any attempt to provide exact (GPS-based) coordinates of the positions where the photos have been taken. |
