Back from the desert

We have just arrived back from a two day trip to the desert. It was a long journey but well worth it. First we drove about 10h with a minibus (stops, lunch and some sightseeing included). In Zagora we got on the camels and rode for about 1.5h to our Berber tent amongst the sand dunes. We buried ourselves in the hot sand, starred upon thousand and thousands of stars (also a few shooting stars and the Milky way), listened to Berber singing, danced on the sand dunes, ate delicious tajine and slept in the tent. During the day we had 41.5 degrees but during the night it got so cold that we had to use blankets. An unforgettable experience on my (Mitjas) 25th birthday.

We changed the hotels and got a really cheap room for 6 euro per person. Its not as nice as the one before but it will do since we are very tired. Tomorrow we are heading up north towards Fes, where we will stay a couple of days.

PS: Hopefully we will soon be able to supply you with some of the many spectacular pictures.

A desert is a living, vital place.
It is like another world. It is so calm and peaceful.
Last summer I saw Brazilian soup opera named "Clone", which was shot in Morocco. There were many scenes where desert was described. After that I just fell in love with this ocean of sand.
