We woke up at 4:30 am. This morning was a special one. Camels were waiting to take us to Erg Chebbii, a huge, drifting expanse of dunes in the Sahara to watch the sunrise. We each mounted our camels and then went in a caravan to a spectacular viewpoint. It was cold and a little windy. The colors were amazing as the sun came up. The photo opportunities were amazing. After this incredible experience we had breakfast in the tent and prepared to leave. On the way back in the Land Rovers we stopped to see a Berber nomad family. Once in Erfoud we re-boarded our bus and went to a fossils (found in marble) factory. Then we saw a system of underground water wells. Continuing on we traveled to the Todra Gorge, often called the “Grand Canyon of Morocco,” with interesting rock formations. We stayed overnight at the Hotel Lamrani in Tinerhir.
