Merzouga is a small village near the Erg Chebbi desert, which is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Morocco. There you can, among others: ride camels, spend the night in tents in the desert, ride over the dunes in an off-road car or try sandboarding, a desert version of snowboarding. This last one sounded the most interesting to me.

It was the multi-pitches, especially the bolted ones, that drew me to Morocco. I consider the trip to be very successful, although we had some surprises and the bolting is quite diverse ;)
The Todra Gorge in Morocco is a good place for multi-pitch rock climbing. There are not many single-pitch bolted routes, but you can find something for yourself, on a different level.
The Todra Gorge is one of Morocco’s biggest tourist attractions. 200-300 m walls on both sides of the river are impressive! And the best thing is that you can climb them. There are quite a lot of routes in Todra, both sports and multi-pitch, bolted and trad, in a wide range of difficulties.
Morocco is first country outside Europe that I have visited. Although I had been reading about this country and Marrakech before me trip, some things surprised me and some things I had imagined different. Read what you can expect in this city.
I was never so cold like in Africa! And so afraid for my life like during blizzard in High Atlas. These mountains are gorgeous and I would love to come there again but next time not in winter…
