On the road, Sahara to Ouarzazate

We spent most of the day driving from the Sahara, in southeastern Morocco, to Ouarzazate, our somewhat boring stop for the night before reaching Marrakech.

There were a lot of camels wandering around on this stretch of road, and so these three tour buses stopped and let all the passengers off to visit with them. I didn’t need a camel fix right after our desert adventure, so we just drove on through.

What an unusual scene, it's almost like the reindeer wondering around in Lapland. Great that you took the image and shared it with us! V

Must be a camel convention. At least there is food for them here unlike the sandy desert. V

interesting camel crossing point, and clearly a food fair of sorts for them...tourists stopping here is understandable, as this would be a novel encounter for visitors..

Those bloody tourists. A typical phonomen when camels are around. Love this picture.

It's amazing to see all these camels just walking around the road like this. Looks like a very
busy road. I like this shot, that leads the eye off to the distant mountains and town.

What an amazing sight! How different from the usual cows or sheep.. Excellent down the road shot, V

I suppose it's quite common to see camels on the road like this, here it's mostly sheep we find on our roads! V
