OCTOBER 2017 : MOROCCO : MERZOUGA - TODRA GORGE : DAY 8


A day trip exploring many fascinating sites and towns from Merzouga to the Todra Gorge region.

Leaving the dunes the landscape change markedly with mountain ridges and small oasises



Saturday Date Market in Erfoud


Small towns


Brightly coloured schools. Every school in Morocco was painted in bright pastel colours two years ago.


Coffee stop 


The Qanat Channel dug centuries through rock from the High Atlas Mounains two towns as far away as Meknes and Marrakech.




Polished fossils and trinkets


Entering the town of Tinejdad.


We had lunch in a UNESCO World Heritage Kasbah 


We meandered through the narrow alley ways


To a lush garden restaurant 


With birds


And a very stylish waiter - camel hair shoes


We found our way to the entry 





Entering the Todra Gorge area



Mark becoming friendly with the locals


Our hotel nearby
