The Trek to the Sahara, part 1..

It is late Monday evening, and  IBM CSCMorocco9  had an exciting trip to the Moroccan Sahara desert this past weekend!  I wanted to share a quick update with some pictures.  I will post a more detailed overview on Tuesday/Wednesday. On Friday evening, we traveled from Rabat to Marrakesh by train (4 and 1/2 hours) and spent the night.  Early Saturday morning, our guide picked us up in Marrakesh and we drove across the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara desert at Zagora.  The “drive” was 10 hours long.  We then rode on camels for 90 minutes to a tent camp outside of Zagora, spent Saturday night, and then backtracked to Rabat on Sunday.  This was quite the adventure!  There was sunrise from the top of a sand dune, the camel caravan (am in on the camel in the middle), the selfie of my turban, the monkey sitting standing on my head in the Marrakesh market and me and two of my IBM coworkers resting on a rock close to the top of the pass through the Atlas mountains. Much more in the next blog post!  #ibmcsc #cscmorocco9 @ibmcsc
