Interesting thing about Morocco is that aside from the merchants that sell goods there and have an agriculture along the Atlantic Ocean, it also has a strip of land known as the 'West Sahara'. This area that lies to the south has no government there whatsoever. It's a free for all land there. It doesn't mean that it's any fun there though. Some of the worst desert climate resides there and so much sand that it actually generates dust plumbs that sweep off coast. The second song hosts West Sahara. The clips in the first song are from Morocco, not the Sahara.
