Photo Friday: Sahara Desert, Morocco

I’ve decided to discontinue the Foodie Friday series and instead start a Photo Friday series! So, each Friday from here on out, I’ll share one of my favorite photos from my travels with a short description of where it is or the circumstances behind it.

When I visited Morocco, one of the things I looked forward to most was taking a tour out to the Sahara Desert to stay overnight in a Bedouin camp. After an awful two-hour camel trek over the gorgeous dunes and watching the sun set behind them, we arrived at our camp with just enough time to watch the stars come out. I quickly grabbed my camera and my friend and abandoned our group to head for the highest dune we could find to snap some photos of the stars and the desert at night. To our surprise, we made it just in time to watch the moon rise over the desert. It was the first time I’d ever watched it happen and had my camera ready to take a bunch of photos of it happening. I think it’ll forever go down as one of my favorite memories.
