Sunrise in the Sahara desert

Photography Tips

Avoid the summer. you'll get a lot of tourists, 50 degrees celsius and boring skies. go during shoulder seasons (this was shot towards the end of sept) to get a chance of nice clouds. if you're lucky, you might also get a clear sky at night and shoot some milky way.

Travel Information

There isn't an exact spot for this because the landscape changes constantly. take a trip from the town of Merzouga, sleep in the desert so you can wake up and shoot the sunrise. I recommend scouting for a good spot before nightfall so you know were to go in the morning. Enjoy..
