Tiznit

It is a warm, sultry evening, as we sit outside the van, glass of wine in hand. Beyond the enclosed walls of this municipal campsite, the sounds of traffic and people,mingle with wailing cats and the call to prayer from a nearby mosque. This is Tiznit, the most non-tourist and typically Moroccan town that we have visited. It is located inland from the coast but you can feel the proximity of both the sea and the desert. Freshly caught fish can be bought in the medina and the orange, Saharan sand  coats the ground. The disputed land of  The Western Sahara is a mere 200 miles further south.
We have spent  time wandering the streets and souks, where friendly Moroccans have greeted us warmly and said " Morocco welcomes you"
