Morocco: Desert

The Erg Chebbi dunes are a patch of sand twenty two km long and five km wide that stretch along the Southeast of Morocco, fifteen kilometers from Argelia.
This was probably one of the highlights of our trip to Morocco.
We got there, it was late afternoon, but it was still hot. We got out of the car and started heading for the dunes.
We walked along the dunes, and took photographs. The dunes really are just as you see them in films but its actually very special being there. There were kilometers and kilometers of sand just waiting to be trodden on but unfortunately we didn't explore much. As you can see in the photo I took it was cloudy so we couldn't see the sunset. But the feeling of being there in that evaporated sea was something I'll hopefully never forget.
