Day 37 Erg Chebbi - Oued Gheris

We left behind the large sandbox of Morocco with quite a bit of speed today. It was necessary as it was often deep in sand and we didn't want to get stuck. From today on, we are alone again. In Erfoud, we stocked up again. Erfoud is known for its fossils. The rock is obtained from quarries of fossilized coral reefs in the surrounding area, cut and polished. It is often offered by the roadside. This area has many date palm oases. Water scarcity is a big problem. Today we are standing above the Oued Gheris. Oued means riverbed, usually dried up at the moment or almost always.
