Morocco: Sahara Desert
“The Sahara is not visited like a medina: it is lived, not indulged, you have to let yourself be taken by its mystery, its secrets, and imagine the dream behind the sand dunes, which sometimes move and sometimes remain still. The desert is an idea, a way to strip yourself of everything and dare to look yourself in the face; it is a mirror that must be taken seriously. Morocco has a lively, splendid desert, not far from cities or roads.” — Tahar Ben Jelloun
