Sacred Heart Oasis, Erg Zhigaga Dunes, Morroco 2011
The Erg Zhigaga Dunes of Morocco are the perfect place for a Sahara Adventure allowing Moroccan Travelers to escape the city lights and find themselves literally in the middle of no where. Erg Zhigaga is considered by many to be the “real” Sahara Desert with it’s authentic rustic colored sand dunes and unique flora and fauna. Historically speaking, the French and the British were primarily interested in visiting Zhigaga however in the past several years that has changed. Americans, Europeans, Asians, Africans and also Moroccans who are interested in an authentic Sahara Desert adventure that takes them deep into the vast Sahara frequent Morocco’s Erg Zhigaga Dunes. Centuries ago, the Sahara Desert was covered with water that flowed through and over it. Morocco’s Sahara akin to its rocky piste region of the Onila Valley and Telouet were created by the geologic submergence of water and wind that pressed up against its basalt rock and has today created some of what make up the most magnificent landscape scenery in the Maghreb.
This acacia tree is standing in a rocky outcrop near the Sacred Heart Oasis. The Oasis lies between Mhamid and the sand dunes of the Erg Chigaga sandsea; there is a well where herds of camels are brought to be watered from a stone trough; the water is raised, by hand, bucket by bucket
