Most of you have been to the sea at some point in your lives, what if I told you that in Morocco we have an ocean made of gold?
Yeah! you read that right, we do indeed have a never-ending golden ocean called Merzouga which is a small town located in south Morocco leaning on the Algerian borders.
Merzouga was once believed to be a tropical jungle until it was cursed by God and flooded by towers of sand when the families who lived there refused to help a poor woman.
This urban legend circulated the world and attracted many curious adventurers, who offer this story life and credibility after witnessing the outstanding and overwhelming Merzouga dunes holding the highest Saharan sand mountain at an elevation of 160 meters.
Travelling to Merzouga is a once in a lifetime adventure that will teach you the true life of Saharan people, who to this day are untouched by any modern life, insisting on protecting their ancient ways of getting by, it is here where you will see travelers in their blue Haik marching and leading their herds to a place where they can find water and stay in for the night in their tents.
