Dag 7: Veel wind bij Merzouga

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

The hotel was adjacent to the dunes of Erg Chebbi. The sand is very special. In combination with the wind, the sand gets everywhere. It is very fine, and gives sandstorms very quickly. I had given myself a day off, so I have few photos from today. It was photogenic though when the wind died down for a while.
