Another blast from the past. Who remembers the Lake Iriqui salt flats?
If you stopped here to take some pictures, please share with us via DM!
The name of the lake is also given for the largest national park in Morocco (geo tag above).
Thank you @jon.forde for this one!

Daydreaming, wishing I was behind the wheel. 🏜️ Most of you who visited Erg Chigaga dunes will know that mountain - can you remember its nickname?!

How many of you have bought the famous green pottery at Tamegroute village?
Did you know that Tamegroute was once the most important settlement on the Draa River? Its zaouia (religious sanctuary/complex established around the tomb of a holy man) had great influence for decades over the people of the Draa, and those passing through the region in caravans.

From the 11th Century onwards, Tamegroute was already an important seat of learning and theology.
From the 17th Century onwards, it was the centre of the Nasiri Brotherhood (a key Sufi movement), and bin-Nasir al-Drawi (the founder of the movement) himself took over teachings in Tamegroute. His son travelled further south in Africa and to the Middle East, spreading the message of the Brotherhood. He then collected manuscripts, tablets and other works, from the wider Islamic world, to be added to the already-extensive library at Tamegroute.
At the time of the death of bin-Nasir’s son (in the early 18th Century), the library at Tamegroute held one of the richest collections in North Africa (covering subjects such as mathematics, history, language, astronomy and, of course, Islam).
The library can be visited today, albeit its collection is far smaller.

Our happy place feels more isolated than ever before. If you've visited the camp, you know what that 21 hour round trip feels like... and why you need to cover the distance for immersion in the desert wilderness.
