Camel trip and spending the night in the Sahara

---

The Camel trekking was a new experience for me. We departed from Douz (known as "the gateway to the Sahara"), soon we found ourselves in the middle of the sand. What a view! The sand itself was very fine.

The only thing that annoyed us terribly were the flies, you can't imagine how many flies there are in the desert.

During the day, it was rather hot, but when the sun went down, it soon became much colder (and happily for us, the flies disappeared). We slept in our sleeping bags, while the camels were sitting next to us. Fantastic to see all those stars...

After a good night's rest (both for us and the flies ;-) ), our guides were baking bread in the sand which was a very tasty breakfast... I found it sad that the trekking lasted only two days.
