South of the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara begins to impose itself on the Moroccan landscape., and sand and palm trees progressively become the norm. As in the very heart of the desert, dunes rise to meet plateaus blackened by the sun and lush oueds snake between the mountains. Earthen villages hide their palmeraies in the hollows of valleys. Austere ochre peaks dominate luxuriating oases. The sombre rocky plateaus give birth to golden dunes stretching out to the south as far as the eye can see.
