We left Fez early in the morning and headed to Merzouga in the Sahara desert. We drove through the Atlas Mountains, past Berber villages, mountain sides covered in sheep and wild donkeys, and just plain beautiful mountains. We passed through a town where many wealthy people come from Europe to buy villas as second homes and to go skiing (yes, there is skiing in Morocco).
