Day 5 - Erg Chebbi Sand Dunes (Merzouga)
So the day arrived to visit the Dunes, we had been looking forward to this part of the trip.
Erg chebbi is located near the village of Merzouga, 30 miles from the Algerian border.

Visiting the dunes was an inspirational experience, well worth the effort. Being saddled on a camel with nothing around you, just sand and wind forming amazing shapes, with a glowing orange under the Saharan sun.
Life here hasn’t changed in thousands of years, having no electricity or running water seems at first like a big problem but one adapts quickly and even after a day it all seems rather normal.

The sunset is magnificent, and at night the crisp air, clean and clear with sky covered by million of stars.

Day 6 - Merzouga, Le Camp Du Desert.
We left Merzouga and drove a couple of hours. We arrived at a small town were we had lunch and then headed to or second camp,
Le Camp du Desert.
Le Camp du Desert is located on the site of an ancient nomadic camp in the hollow of a valley, surrounded by a mystical, awe-inspiring landscape, far off the tourist tracks.
It is a very comfortable stay but the desert itself was the main attraction during our stay.
Upon our arrival we decided to explore the nearby dunes, and spent hours playing in the sand.
We spent two nights at this gorgeous place.
