A recent deluge of rainfall in the Sahara desert has brought a rare sight of blue lagoons amid the palm trees and sand dunes, providing much-needed nourishment to some of the most drought-stricken regions in Morocco. The southeastern desert, known for its extreme aridity, experienced two days of rainfall in September that surpassed yearly averages in several areas, including Tata and Tagounite.
In Tagounite, a village located south of the capital Rabat, over 100 mm of rain was recorded in just 24 hours, marking a significant event that hadn't been witnessed in decades. The storms not only replenished the parched lands but also left a picturesque scene of water flowing through the Saharan sands, captivating both residents and tourists alike.
