We're in the SAHARA! | a MOROCCAN motorhome Adventure

The cool weather of Azrou was about to get a lot colder, with snow predicted over the following days. We make our way south towards the Sahara desert with a stopover in the Ziz valley. The terrain completely changes with every kilometer and this is a Morocco we have not seen yet.
To witness the red dunes of the Sahara appearing over the horizon as we inched closer toward Merzouga is a special feeling.

Love your videos guys and this one is no exception. Glad your back is feeling ok again Andre. Thanks so much for sharing xx

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks so much Vanda! All good again after a couple of days rest.

[@chrisp9176]

Yes! Indeed a magical Marocco with a lovely couple. Thanks and stay save.

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks Chris!

[@moradmerrouni904]

Welcome 🎉🎉❤

[@henrik.r]

Great episode...as usual. 👍

[@WeWillNomad]

Appreciate your support!

[@bertju100]

nice vlog

[@Kermit-Si]

I imagine that was a difficult climb on sand with a dodgy back. Fantastic views, and looked very peaceful. Thanks guys 👍🐸

[@WeWillNomad]

Hey my back is not dodgy! 🤣😁 Just tweaked something. It definitely doesn't have anything to do with age 😜

[@Kermit-Si]

@WeWillNomad Sorry, what I meant was, climbing sand dunes is difficult at the best of times, but with a "tweaked" back, it must have been hard even for a "young man" like yourself 🤣🤣 👍🐸

[@WeWillNomad]

@@Kermit-Si That's better 😎🤣

[@johudson6765]

Wow it looks so beautiful stunning and different! The hikes and the views… you did well André with a bad back! And looks like Lisa did the sensible thing 🙏🤩 Awww we deltntoire disappointment at the no go coffee!!! 😏 but hey the food more then made up for it I think!!! Thanks for another great vlog… and I get that you want to mix it up and have some peace .. we would also feel the same! 🙏🤩🚌🌅♥️

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks Jo! We'll have to demonstrate our hiking coffee kit another day 😂 Fortunately all injuries are healed now. ❤️

[@johudson6765]

@@WeWillNomad aww good to hear .. and yes that would be nice… we also have an espresso when hiking or even when we go to the sea… but we just use a teeny gas ring for the stove pot! Look forward to your next clog … enjoy🙏☺️😍

[@packingourtrunks]

Great film guys - we felt Andre's pain and Lisa's too on the climb - the sensible thing to do is stop before you make a mistake! The hike looked good though - and the hiking through the dunes looked incredible. You two (as others have said in the comments) are natural at this and make such lovely films - great travel vlogs with a real human element. There are many vloggers in this genre and you guys stand out from the crowd🥰

[@WeWillNomad]

Thank you, it really means so much coming from you who also know how much time and effort goes into these things. We hope that you will enjoy the desert as much as we did! Hope to see you soon... 😜

[@adams2430]

Go visit Dakhla in south of Morocco 🇲🇦

[@WeWillNomad]

Would love to! But it's quite far to drive and we will save it for our next visit.

[@tanersilah]

Can you please make Turkish subtitles? Thanks

[@WeWillNomad]

You can choose the auto translate option to see any that are not on the list. The base subtitles are manually done in English and all the others are auto translated. But of course, we'll add Turkish to the manual list.

[@sandsmarine2791]

Sahara looked amazing ❤

[@WeWillNomad]

It's incredible to see - even just a tiny slice of its massive scale.

[@alanbenham4139]

Your VLOGs are great and inspirational. I look forward to my weekly A&L VLOG. Keep up the great work.

[@WeWillNomad]

Thank you Alan! ❤️

[@spirit5_of_adventure]

Thanks for another great video. We always seem to head for cold climates but Morocco is most definitely on our list. Safe travels and we hope your back is better André

[@WeWillNomad]

It's actually been really warm since we left Azrou. Almost too warm! We need to start heading north! 😋 Thanks for the comment. Can't claim peak fitness but the back is all good again.

Lisa. You made the right decision to stay put.

[@WeWillNomad]

😂 Not so much a decision.. the wobbly legs made the choice for me. 😁

[@chrisvdh4879]

So, I smashed the button and will now travel with you. Need to catch up first...

[@WeWillNomad]

❤️ Welcome to our channel!

[@PieterSmith-l5x]

By the way we love your channel!

[@WeWillNomad]

Thank you!

[@creekyknee]

Wonderful footage. I would have stayed with Lisa on that hike, I'm afraid. It looked a bit scary for me. I keep getting worried that you are going to get lost in the Sahara desert and we will never hear of you again, but hold on... how did you manage to post this video, so you're both safe ! What an amazing adventure you are both having. Stay safe.

[@WeWillNomad]

Someone found the footage and made a spoof vlog documentary thingy? The Sahara Witch Project. Side note, today we stopped at the gas station film set for The Have Eyes. It's been preserved unchanged since the movie was made in 2006.

[@Babsi139]

Great photography thank you, especially of the Sahara dessert. Was wondering from the video that you carried the drone up the mountain. Does it weigh a lot?

[@WeWillNomad]

Sadly, we had to leave our drone in Spain. You need a permit to use one in Morocco and that's impossible to get unless you're working on big productions. The 'follow shots' are done using an Insta360 X3 camera on an 'invisible' 3m extension pole. That said, we would normally carry our drone everywhere. The kit only weighs about 700g. Thanks for the comment!

[@mohammedelyoussfi4759]

Sahara morocco

[@imax2000]

Most of fuel stations in big cities use cards.. the issue with that station I think is the issue of connexion.

[@WeWillNomad]

At one station the attendant actually said "we don't have it anymore". Also, they often have doubts whether foreign cards will work. At one station they took the card but insisted we 'prepay'. So it's understandable.

[@HarryHymerTravels]

Laughing at your move to the other campsite .. you missed me telling the noisy crowd to stop it .. one tried to get the new place we grabbed and I got into a row .. all was well in the end we just ignored the rowdies ….

[@WeWillNomad]

🤣🤣 Our move was definitely a good one! We saw you managed to get the corner spot 👍 hope you got some peaceful time there too! Happy travels with Harry! 😊

[@PieterSmith-l5x]

Hi ,can you please tell me where you bought your exrtractable laundry line from, tnx and regards, Pieter

[@WeWillNomad]

Hi Pieter. It's actually a 'normal' folding type balcony / radiator / windowsill type of clothes dryer. If you search those terms you will find examples of it. We just made some hooks that fit the profile under the windows so that we can use the rack on all sides of the van.

[@PieterSmith-l5x]

Thank you, good idea, safe travels!

[@toulouselaplot5695]

I expected to see Toyota pickups with guns mounted on the back, fair play but I’d be out of there asap 😂

[@WeWillNomad]

We are rather close to the border.... 😋

Andre lisa I love watching ur videos Celebrate ur van she is brilliant Ultra reliable no EGR no DPF She keeps chugging along taking u on ur wonderful adventures Would u buy a new one 🤔 xx

[@WeWillNomad]

Good question! Must admit our van has been very good for us so far. We often think about something more modern (cruise control, aircon would be nice) but we're just so happy with her and as long as its going without issues we'll hold on to it.
