Street in Mhamid (South-Morocco), town at the beginning of Sahara-desert
Story
Stop where the asphalt ends at M'Hamid el Ghizlane, the last village before the Sahara swallows the track south toward Chigaga. Here the palms thin and the dust carries camels and woodsmoke — the frontier feeling travelers come looking for. There's little to "see" in the village; come for the threshold, then keep walking.
