Morocco: The Journey

Part of our trip to Morocco mainly consisted in driving. Our journey started in Ceuta. From Ceuta we went to Chefchaouen. The countryside there was more like Spain, and wasn't so hot. From Chefchaouen we went to Fes. That was a long hot ride with very arid scenery.We spent a flew nights at a campsite just outside Fes, and after that we headed to the Middle Atlas. We got lost a few times but at the end we fount a little hotel in a berber village next to the cedar forest. The next day we drove though the cedar forest all day and we camped in the middle of the forest.
Our next stop was Middelt. We stayed two nights in Middelt and then we continued south to the High Atlas. After that we passed the High Atlas we stopped in Ergh Chebbi, the desert. And that was as far south as we went. From Erg Chebbi we went to Meknes and visited the ruins of the ancient Roman town of Volubilis. Then we went to the coastal village of Asilah which was full of Spanish tourists and after that we went back to Ceuta. This is a photograph of a herd of camels surrounding my car.
