#HotOverseasPlaces Merzouga is a small village in southeastern Morocco It is about 55km from Erfoud and about 50km from the Algerian border It is located near the Erg Chebbi dunes, one of the highest in the Sahara Desert The Sahara Desert, one of the largest in the world, stretches 1,700km from north to south and covers an area of ​​about 10 million square kilometers, making up nearly one-third of the African continent and roughly the same area as the United States ◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹ ◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹ 1•2•3 More than 95% of the Sahara Desert is a rocky desert made of rocks and gravel. The beautiful sand dunes made of fine sand are only a small part of it. We were able to see the beautiful reddish brown dunes that are unique to the Sahara Desert. ◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹ 4•5 As we proceeded in a camel caravan, we could see the scale of the Sahara Desert. You can experience the feeling of being in the mountains. I recommend going at sunrise or sunset. I saw a fantastic sight. ◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹ ❇️In winter, down jackets, scarves, gloves, hand warmers, and cold weather gear are essential. In summer, it's useful to have something to put on over your clothes. ❇️The desert sand has very fine particles, so sand always gets in your shoes. I recommend wearing shoes that you can throw away. It's better not to wear sandals as there may be scorpions. ◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹ 📍About 60km from Erfoud 📍About 470km from Fez 📍About 580km from Marrakech 📍About 680km from Casablanca #Morocco #SaharaDesert #OverseasTravel #SoloTravel
