📍🐪M’HAMID AND THE DUNES 🐪📍 🌴A small administrative centre built around a cafe-lined square, M, HAMID (also known as M ‘Hamid el GHizlane ) was once an important marketplace for nomadic and trans-Saharan trade, but of this role only a rather mundane Monday souk remains. Although M’Hamid is still more low-key than Zagora, you might be forgiven for thinking the villages main reason detre these days .is getting tourists onto camels –there is any number of operators, official and unofficial, who offer camel trips into the desert proper. 🌴Erg lehoudi The most easily accessible of dunes around M’Hamid are those at Erg Lehoudi ( « Dunes of the Jews »),8km north of town, which can be reached, with guidance, in a day-trippers ( and their rubbish ) and hustlers, and despite reaching a height of over a hundred metres, somehow feel rather mundane. 🌴Erg Chigaga The most dramatic dunes in the Zagora region lie some 60 km southwest of M’Hamid, where the 300m-high crescents of the Erg chigaga ripple away into the horizon. The expense and time involved in getting her-a return trip by camel to take around five days: by costly 4WD, you can get there in less than two hours – is well much more akin to how you might imagine it. 👉Follow us and tag yourself if you are interested in sharing your most perfect pictures of our beautiful country 👍 @moroccofriendlytravel Credit:® @hafiidii.omaar @sahara6879 @UNESCO. . . #saharadesert #instatravel #travel #morocco #travelphotography #travelgram #friend #撒哈拉沙漠 #摩洛哥 #马拉喀什 #菲斯 #中文导游 #摩洛哥中文导游 #travelbuddy #asiangirlinmorocco #摩洛哥 #菲斯 #travelblogger #travelhelp #helpmetravel #traveladdiction #azu_maltalife #travellers #trips #instatraveling #exploring #igtravel #worldcaptures #travel #instapassport #travellers #artofvisuals #officemates
