Awesome
Hey everybody. Dave coming at you from Morocco
I'm here with my brother Joe and we're on an excursion towards the Sahara. We started out from Marrakech
I'm not sure exactly what all will be on this excursion. My brother Joe kind of took the reins on booking this thing
So I'm gonna let him explain a little more
So we're at our first major stop. Joe, What's the name of this place?
Ait Benhaddou or something along those lines.
This is where they filmed Game of Thrones and
Gladiator, Giants of Persia...
I don't watch the Game of Thrones so you'll have to let me know what's going on.
I think Lawrence of Arabia was here as well. I could be wrong about that.
All the movies
That's the new village that was built about 80 years ago
So this is the top of the old city here, I think it's the casbah
The town is just below me behind this wall here
It is really amazing here just to see the coolest sight in the history of it
So this flat spot right here is where they built the arena to film Gladiator
Of course, they had to take it down right after they were finished filming to preserve the UNESCO label
Someone comment and tell me what scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed here because I actually have no idea
He's a Philistine
I'm a Philistine. I don't know what that means
For hot it's better like that for protect the face and neck
But for windy...
For windy, it's better like that
Now you are Lawrence from Morocco
Ninja
I like it
So from what I'm gathering we'll be spending tonight in a gorge in the Atlas Mountains and tomorrow
we're going to be riding camels in the Sahara. Not sure what all else we'll see in between now and then and after but yeah
Check it out with us
Look at this
Well, this is just GORGEous
Get it? Cuz...
Cuz it's a gorge...
For some reason the locals keep calling Joe and I Alibaba, just like this guy
We don't know what it means
whether Alibaba the thief had a beard or if they call all white people with beards Alibaba, I have no idea.
Anyone know?
I guess this is our crib for the night
Ha. The toilet paper is pink
And so ends day one of our Morocco desert tour
We're spending the night in this hotel in the gorge
Tomorrow we'll see the rest of the gorge, also ride camels, also spend the night in a Bedouin encampment
I'm really excited. So I'll see you guys tomorrow
