The stony desert and its history
South of Merzouga the dunes give way to a desert of black stone and plateaus. Here, near the village of Taouz, there are rocks carved thousands of years ago with animal figures, when the Sahara was a savannah.
It's a long excursion, far from the tourist routes, for those who want to see the wildest desert.
