Off into the Sahara on our camels

In recent weeks I have been sharing photos and writing about our tour of Morocco a few years ago.

In my last post here I wrote about our camel ride into the Sahara. This occurred just before sunset and so the colours of the desert sands were stunning. It certainly made up for the discomfort of riding a camel. It was not only uncomfortable – it was very hard to take good photos while constantly on the move.

Who was the not-so-bright spark who thought that riding a camel was a good idea?

Our destination after about an hour of painful riding was a group of Berber tents near a little oasis. After a delicious meal eaten around a camp fire we slept in these tents for only one night. During the night we had a visitor. It seems that most of the touring group had a cat visit them in their tent overnight.

This experience just happened to be on Christmas Eve. It was certainly different and one to remember.
