The colorfully dressed women in your opening picture is very nice...and I love the camels as they begin a desert trek, but the guard looks a bit scary.

Your page brought back great memories of Ouarzazate! Those are excellent T'logues and I don't think I've ever seen so many 4WDs all lined up!! 'I drove all Day' is appropriate, but Celine only covered Roy Orbison's original version ;-))

The desert colours are beautiful. That is a fantastic picture of all the 4x4s. I missed this part of Morocco on my last trip but am planning to see it in March.
