This morning, we packed up, filled and emptied tanks, then drove 80 km south to Naïla Lagoon, which sits at the heart of Khnifiss National Park, Morocco’s first Saharan national park.
The lagoon measures 20 kilometers long and only a few hundred meters wide, creating this incredible ribbon of water that cuts through the desert landscape.
Rated a birdwatcher’s paradise, the park is a hotspot for migratory birds, with thousands of waterbirds stopping here each year, including flamingos, marbled ducks and oystercatchers.
It’s a beautiful spot overlooking the lagoon with its flamingos wading in the water.
