4x4 Excursion in the Sahara Desert

After rising early to watch the sunrise over the sand dunes, we embarked on a 4x4 excursion around the dunes. We visited a revived desert oasis, thanks to a recent rain following a 6 year drought, visited a camel compound and then wandered through a nomadic community and shared tea with a family. We attended a local musical performance in the community hall in Merzouga dedicated to the memory of the centuries of African slaves brought to this area. Many of the women are fully covered in black, those married through the end of their scarf over their left shoulder and single women drape it over their right shoulder. Upon returning to the hotel we refreshed ourselves with a dip in the pool and enjoyed an afternoon of free time before embarking on a sunset camel ride followed by some local entertainment. Full days and full hearts❤️Read more
