Morocco Ep 6 Ouarzazate - Merzouga

Leaving Ouarzazate I stop at the old film set of the horror film "The Hills Have Eyes" which unfortunately seems abandoned now. I continued with the snow-capped mountains before me heading towards the desert and the small town of Merzouga. On the way, I stopped for a couple of days in Tinghir to visit the famous Todra Gorge. I managed to drive through the gorge before the tourist buses began to arrive, it is one of the most visited sites in Morocco.
Leaving Tinghir and the Todra Gorge behind me I made my way along the N10 to Merzouga via Rissani. Gradually the rocky landscape gave way to the sand dunes on the edge of the Sahara and on reaching Merzouga camped in the La Gazelle Bleu campsite which is literally on the edge of the desert and at the foot of the beautiful golden sand dunes.

Great video we finally made it to Morocco your encouragement helped more than you will ever know. Merzouga was awesome we had some very hot weather and no wind .we stayed at Haven la Chance it had a very nice swimming pool and very nice ambiance. We got a dune side pitch for uninterrupted view of the desert . Morocco has been so much better than I ever imagined the biggest surprise was my wife who didn’t really want to come said out of the blue one evening I love Morocco 🇲🇦

Hi Paul, great to hear that you and your wife really enjoyed Morocco. Maybe after this first trip you will, like me, go back time and time again as there is so much to see. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Safe travels and thanks for your kind comments.

Wow this is an excellent video! The best one so far I’ve come across…is there parking at the gorge, or can you just park up on the road side? Thank you 😃

Hi, glad you enjoyed the video. You can park in an area at the top of the gorge but if you arrive early in the morning, the best time you can stop along the gorge. It does get busy throughout the day so if you want the best and quietest period for photos go early morning or evening time.

We're still seeing some evidence of that Morrocan dust 😂
