One morning, whilst visiting the World Heritage site of Ksar at Ait Ben Haddou, beyond the Atlas mountains and into southern Morocco’s desert region, we awoke to blustery winds that made the fine sand race across the dried river bed…
I have a ‘thing’ about interesting doorways, whether it is the colour, texture, shape – whatever. So when I came across this excellent metal door in the little Berber town of El Khorbat during a photo tour into the southern Moroccan desert regions….
Met by chance on a visit to the towering Dades Gorges in the south of Morocco, this delightful and photogenic Berber mother is from a nearby nomad encampment. After a few frames, both mother and child are more at ease and their smiles are evident.
Snaking precariously up the steep sides of the massive Atlas Mountain range as you leave Marrakech and head up towards the Tizi n’Tichka pass in the southerly direction of Ouazazate.
Not much ever gets discarded in Morocco, much less something as sophisticated as a donkey cart. So what terrible fate befell this robust means of transportation to leave it looking so wrecked as it is?
Originally from the sub-Saharan (“Sahel”) regions of Africa, notably Senegal, the Gwana are ritual musicians who originally came to Morocco as slaves in the 15th and 16th century from the vast Songhai Kingdom.
Today I am delighted to share my meeting with this gentle and friendly Berber nomad from his encampment above the Todra Gorge.
I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph this noble-looking Camel Rider of the great sand dunes at Erg Chebbi in the less explored desert zone around Merzouga, south of the Atlas Mountains in southern Morocco.
An old door knocker, spotted in Marrakech, in the shape of The hand of Fatima. Believed by Muslims and Jews alike to protect its owner and those in the house from the evil eye.
Sunrise over the Atlas Mountains in southern Morocco. The mountain peaks reach up into the pure blue sky and I breathe the crystal clear clean high-altitude air. A wonderful way to start another day of adventure!
