A street in Merzoua, Morocco, in April 2011. This is a fairly typical example of the architecture in the older part of the town.
Story
Base yourself in Merzouga, the cluster of auberges and desert camps that sits at the edge of Erg Chebbi, and you'll have the dunes within an hour's walk or a short ride. It's a town built for travelers, so expect touts and tour packages along with the tea. Use it as your launch point, then get out onto the sand.
