[Morocco: A country you should visit at least once in your life - the best experience in the Sahara Desert]

Located in western North Africa, Morocco is a country where European (Spain and France) and Arab cultures mix together. The famous tourist cities are scattered far away from each other, so traveling there takes time and energy, but I would like to introduce you to an experience in Merzouga, a town that you should definitely visit at least once! Merzouga is a town adjacent to the Sahara Desert. ⚠️It takes 7 hours one way from Fez and 9 hours one way to Marrakech by car, so it is difficult to go alone, so I recommend going on a tour! I joined a tour that included one meal per day, accommodation, and a private driver (in English). We departed early in the morning from the eastern town of Fez, and arrived in Merzouga around 4pm after taking a break on the way. 🚌 Merzouga is a city lined with luxury resort accommodations, and you can even stay in a tent at a hotel adjacent to the Sahara Desert. ✨ ↓Here is the hotel we stayed at. 📍Hotel Cafe du Sud Address: Ras el Erg Chebbi, Merzouga 52202, Morocco On the tour, we rode camels through the desert. 🐪 A Berber camel driver will take you to a spot where you can see a beautiful sunset for about an hour. When you ride a camel to a high altitude, you will see the beautiful sunlit Sahara Desert scenery. We were given time to take photos slowly until the sun went down. The quiet and majestic scenery was nothing but moving and healing. ☀️ After the sun went down, we headed to the hotel's dinner venue. The salad and tajine were delicious! The food was by far the tastiest I had during my trip to Morocco 🤤 If you go outside after dinner, you can see a starry sky. I also recommend getting up early in the morning to watch the sunrise. I felt the power of nature that you can't experience in Japan! Morocco is far from Japan, but the view of the Sahara Desert and the unobstructed starry sky are a sight you definitely want to see. Please go and see it at least once 😊 #absolutelyfreetravel
