Merzouga (Morocco) – The Merzouga desert in southeastern Morocco recently witnessed an extraordinary event that amazed both locals and visitors alike. The golden sand dunes transformed into a stunning waterscape following unusually heavy rainfall in the region.
Eyewitnesses reported that the heavy rains led to the formation of watercourses and lakes amidst the sand, creating a scene many described as “unusual” and “magical.” Mohammed Al-Alawi, a local resident, said: “We’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s astonishing to see water flowing between the sand dunes.”
Meteorological experts added that this phenomenon is rare in desert areas and highlights the climate changes the region is experiencing. Dr. Ahmed Al-Nasiri, a geography professor at Mohammed V University in Rabat, stated: “This phenomenon reflects the extent of climate change impacts on desert regions and demonstrates nature’s ability to suddenly reshape the geographical landscape.”
This exceptional event has attracted the attention of tourists and photographers who flocked to the area to document this unique scene. Sarah Martinez, a Spanish tourist, said: “I came to Merzouga to see the desert, and I never expected to see lakes and waterways. It’s an incredible sight!”
Local authorities confirmed that they are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of residents and visitors while taking advantage of this rare opportunity to promote tourism in the region. Abdullah Al-Rashidi, an official at the Ministry of Tourism, stated: “We are working to provide suitable conditions for visitors to enjoy this exceptional scene while maintaining their safety.”
This unique landscape is expected to last for a limited period before the desert returns to its usual dry state. This event remains a testament to the power of nature and its ability to surprise, reminding everyone of the importance of preserving the environment and adapting to climate changes.
