The Sahara desert is a versatile landscape. Besides its golden sand dunes you will find many different kinds of plants and even trees growing. There are plenty of acacia trees, a few palms and then there is the special desert tree: turza. The purple-grey colored mountains mark a part of the border between Morocco and Algeria and are visible all along the road towards the breathtaking dune landscape. The road leads past several oases and across rocky hills where you can still find ancient fossils. The fossils are millions of years old and are an incredible proof that the ocean has existed in the Sahara desert. Different kind of animals that used to live in this ocean, have left their traces. These remains are yet today to be found in the desert.

On our trip deep into the Sahara, we will stop in some of these unique mountains. If you search well, you may discover one or two of these wonderful treasures.
