Southeastern Morocco affords tourists their easiest and safest access to the world’s largest desert.
For most of them, the Sahara’s dunes provide a capital “e” “Exotic” experience.
Saharan tourism generates a lot of revenue and provides employment to many Moroccans.
It also creates a whole lot of unsolved “management issues” and environmental problems.
Future multi-image posts will further illustrate/explain/explore all of the above.
I took this post’s photo at 5.09 pm on 24 October 2025.
We were not far from Merzouga, a little north of the edge of Saharan “sand sea”, and just a few kilometres west of the Algerian border.
