Fort Bou-Jerif

Posted on December 23rd, 2009 in Africa, Morocco by robjkentjr

After leaving Western Sahara, we had more freedom to travel and explore the inland areas without a fear of finding landmines.  We decided to try an old French Foreign Legion fort in the high desert.
We decided the freezing coastal winds were too much and we found inland campsites from here on out.  Here, we used the sand to bury the edges of our tent and try to keep the cold air out.
Cactus is a major crop of the area and here is a local making the rounds with the help of their donkey.
A local mosque on a mountaintop filled with succulents and cacti.
Work with what you have.  Since no trees grow here the locals use rocks as fence posts.
Here is the road passing by Fort Bou-Jerif.  We spent two days here in the nearby luxury campment.
One of many old citadels perched on a mountaintop as we make our way back to the coast.
The misty mountains of a coastal valley.
The deeper we went into Morocco the more we fell in love with the country, its people and the food.  Coincidently, we just received an invitation from Peace Corps to serve in Morocco and would be happy if our site was a little Berber village like Tafraoute, which is our next stop, was the coldest night of our trip and the last time we slept in our tent.
