Sandboarding

Sandboarding in Morocco or Dune surfing, has been a popular pastime for Nomad and desert children in Morocco for many years.
Thinking back to their childhood, the adults will tell you that they used to use a wide range of self made materials to do Sandboarding at Erg Chebbi.
Morocco has various desert areas, but only one area really stands out for sandboarding in Morocco, and that is Erg Chebbi.
Located a few Km outside the desert village of Merzouga, Erg Chebbi is a massive dune of the Moroccan Sahara desert.

Sandboarding at Erg Chebbi

Once at Erg Chebbi, the Dune Surfing can begin! But don’t forget… first you have to climb up the Dunes!
The higher you climb, the better the ride down, the faster your board will take you.
And what goes up, must, most of the time, come down. You hope to ride down the Sand Dune as fast as you can to make the effort of climbing up to the top totally worth it!

http://moroccostarstravel.com/ Marrakesh is the most important of Morocco's four  former   imperial cities . Inhabited by  Berber  farmers from Neolithic times, the city was founded in 1062 by  Abu Bakr ibn Umar , chieftain and cousin of  Almoravid  king  Yusuf ibn Tashfin . In the 12th century, the Almoravids built many  madrasas (Koranic schools) and mosques in Marrakesh that bear Andalusian influences. The red walls of the city, built by  Ali ibn Yusuf  in 1122-1123, and various buildings constructed in red sandstone during this period, have given the city the nickname of the "Red City" or "Ochre City".
