Linking to SUNDAY SELECTION 

THE STORKS OF CHELLAH MOROCCO

In Rabat  is a district called Chellah which was built on a Roman city which was discovered during excavations. There is a lot to see in Chellah and it is really beautiful ! Perhaps it is precisely because of this that hundreds of storks have chosen to build their nests here.

Never ever in my life I have seen so many storks at once. They were everywhere ! Those who believe that storks brings babies should go there and  order some, there are more then enough. 

I have visited Chellah while also visiting Rabat on a tour around Morocco's main cities you can read more about Rabat and Chellah here.

MY CORONA ARMCHAIR TRAVELS - SUNSET IN THE SAHARA, MOROCCO

The Sahara is extended over several countries, Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan and Tunisia. It covers 9 million square kilometres (3,500,000 sq mi), amounting to 31% of Africa. 

I have been visiting the Sahara in Tunesia, Egypt, and Morocco. Each hotel where I stayed offered sunset rides on a camel to the Sahara. Here are some pictures of the part in Morocco

We first drove in these jeeps to the point where we met our guides with the camels

One Berber teached us how to put the scarf around our head in a special way so that we were protected against the wind  and the sand  before we climbed on the camel !

In front of their straw houses two little Berber children

The way the families live, all in one huge tent together with the animals. The Berbers are all dressed in blue djeballas with the blue scarfs which sometimes covered the face until the eyes. I once experienced a sandstorm in the Sahara and we had to protect ourselves from the sand in a Berber tent. We had to pull the scarf over our noses to our eyes, the sand stitched like a thousand needles.

The Berbers were very friendly and invited us for a cup of tea

The goats stayed with us near the tend

Although there is nothing but sand and hills covered with sand there are beautiful shades of different colors

Here we are resting with our camels and wait until the sun goes down

I have no idea why I wore a red scarf

and while we were waiting for  the sun to set behind the hills,  there was no sound around us, it was so peaceful, you could hear the Sahara whisper in your ears. A wonderful experience !
