Derek's Travel Blog

The roads ended and we just threw our backpacks on and headed off into the sunset. After nearly 2 hours on camel back we arrived at our tents in the Sahara desert.

It's just the 4 of us and an equal number of guides and staff. Some of  the guides only speak 'Sahari' and a smattering of French but we sat  before dinner and heard all the stories of long caravans and valleys full of gazells that were all a part of the history of this region.

Dinner was (The obligatory but tasty) tagine. And after we are now laying under the full moon on carperts, being serenaded by the guides playing drums. The sandy desert is cool between my toes and I'm going  to sleep.
