VIDEO: USHER CAMPS IN THE SAHARA DESERT FOR NEW YEAR WITH A PICTURE PERFECT VIEW

Call him Usher of Arabia. Or the entertainment king of Casablanca.

As the New Year dawned, the singer found himself not on a beach, but deep in the Sahara desert, visiting the North African nation of Morocco.

There, dressed in a camouflage hat, plenty of scarves and local garb, Usher posted photos of his sandy and faraway adventure halfway around the world.

"Slept in the Sahara… Check," The Voice coach, 35, wrote on Instagram, where he showed off photos of tents, a local family and a fire-lit night, including a native serenade video of robe-clad Berber musicians performing under the stars.

Since Monday, the singer has been in Morocco, hanging with camels, exploring ancient artifacts, and marveling at the local delicacies.

He capped off the vacation with a night spent in a tent in the North African desert.

“You gotta explore a little bit more in 2014,” Usher wrote on Instagram.
