My 43 Days In Morocco! – Sandboarding in the Sahara Desert (And Stopping in Erfoud)

June 3, 2022

Mohammed took me sandboarding, and man was I not good at it haha.

It surprised me that just walking on the sand dunes in and of itself was hard. But then again, I think everyone knows walking on sand is harder than a flat surface, so I don’t know why I’m surprised by that.

And then, basically, you just strap into the board at the edge of the sand dune, and go down. The dune was steep!

So, yeah, I just went down, successfully didn’t die, and called it a day.

We also stopped by Erfoud where we got to hear about fossils, fossils galore, as that’s kind of Erfoud’s whole thing.

We also got to see this really cool oasis that had this whole system of how places shared water – a simple system of people sharing, and moving rocks around so they could split the water between areas of things people are growing. It was lovely.

And then we’ll keep on going in Morocco tomorrow!

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
