Sahara Desert Photos Morocco

These are photos taken of the desert in Morocco. Most of them were taken from my train window. I love riding trains because you get to see so much of the countryside, that normally would be inaccessible. These are pictures of tribal communities in the Sahara desert in Morocco, sheep herders in Morocco, and sheep in the desert.

Photo of a tea shop in Morocco. One of my favorite things in Morocco are the tea houses. You can sit at these little cafes on the street for hours and just watch all the action go by. The waiter will bring you big pots of sweet mint tea to enjoy while men sit and chat all day about politics, Mohammad, and community gossip.

Photo of an orange tree in a garden surrounding a mosque in Morocco. There are orange trees growing everywhere in Morocco. I am not sure if anyone eats these oranges, or if they are just decorative trees.

Photos From Morocco

These are more of my photos from Morocco. There are pictures from markets in Morocco, Moroccan clothing, the countryside of Morocco, tourists in Morocco and horse carriages in Morocco.

Moroccan pastries. These are kind of like sticky buns.

I like this photo of people resting in the shade during the hot hours of the day.

Photo of tourists relaxing in Morocco. This man took his shirt off as he lay in the sun which is not culturally acceptable in Morocco. Since this is a predominantly Muslim country, people do not get naked in public. Needless to say, this naked hippie tourist was getting a lot of awkward stares.

Morocco Photos

These are photographs from my trip to Morocco in 2007-2008. I was there for about two weeks in total. I visited Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakesh.

Photo of Dental implants at a dentist's office in Morocco. The medical field in other countries always amazes me. Here were dental implants and dentures that you could buy on the street in Marrakesh,

The countryside in Morocco with the Atlas mountains in the background.

Colored glass lamps, Morocco. These were hanging in a store in the bazaar in Marrakesh, and just too beautiful not to look at.

Photo of a clean guest house in Marrakesh, Morocco. I stayed at this guest house for a few nights. It was owned and operated by a very friendly family who kept the place incredibly clean.

Photo of roof tops over Marrakesh, Morocco. This photo was taken from the roof of my guest house, and you can see the snow-capped atlas mountains in the distance.

Pictures of France

This are more of my photos from France. From the little village of Anduze in the south of France, I walked all around the countryside. There are miles and miles of vineyards growing grapes for wine. I also found many old castles, nestled along the hillsides. I would sometimes drive into Nimes, which is the closest city. This tiny city is home to beautiful French architecture dating back hundreds of years. They also have a lot of Roman ruins from the time of the Roman Empire.

The stain glass above the doors of the church has the design of the Rose of the Knights Templar. The Knights Templar were very active in the South of France, and most of the churches here have some sort of associated designs in their architecture.

Christmas in France. It was beautiful to be in France during Christmas. All of the tiny streets were decorated for Christmas, and markets were set up, with artisans selling home made crafts. For Christmas Eve, the town of Anduze had a big celebrations in the town square, where Santa visited the children, and everyone drank warm spiced wine and apple cider.

An old castle in the mountains in France. One day while I was hiking I found this dilapidated castle nestled in the vineyards.
