Not to make Marrakech jealous, because I loved them both, but the trip to Merzouga provided some of the most beautiful scenery.

This was our crew and out van for the trip into the desert. The man front and centre is out Berbere guide, Abdul, or as we more fondly knew him Mohammed Tajine!

Here I am at the beginning of the trip when we first started to see the Berbere villages in the High Atlas mountains.

This was the evening of the first day at the Hotel Le Vieux Chateau du Dades. Yes, that is a sheesha that I am smoking. The stars on the rooftop terrace were amazing.

Here is the entire group including Kaori and Mayuko from Japan (they are studying agriculture in Niger). We are drinking berbere wiskey in a traditional home that is now home to a women's association.

Here I am at the Todra Valley on the second day of the trip. We ate lunch here and as you can see the Todra Gorge is amazing. It divides the High Atlas Mountains from the Jebel Sarhro.
