Description
Granted, I didn't do a lot of research about the country before I left for a photo trip to Morocco, but the degree and amount of my misconceptions about the country surprised me. Perhaps one of the biggest surprises was seeing a flock of flamingos in the Sahara Desert. Technically though, it was actually in the Sahara Desert. It was in Erg Chebbi -- one of Morocco's several large seas of dunes formed by wind-blown sand. The ergs are within an area of semi-arid Pre-Saharan Steppes, and not technically part of the Sahara desert which lies some distance to the south. In any event, my guide drove us to a nearby watering hole near the dunes and I was able to catch this flock of flamingos as they took off. If you look closely at the grassy area in the left of the photo you can also see a pack of wild camels.
