Road to Morocco - Giant Sand, Giant Heat

Over the High Atlas and into the Sahara. Hot as hell through Ouarzazate, Todra Gorge and Dades Gorge and eventually emerged from the frying pan and ended up in the fire – Merzouga. This is where the big Sahara dunes are – or at least the start of them. Merzouga is a nothing town right near the Algerian border. Unfortunately, only a few days after we left there was a big flood here and several people died. This time, less words, more pixels.
