Something like happiness in a Sahara Desert Camp

April 15th 2019
The camel never sees his own hump but that of his brother’s is always in his eyes ~ Moroccan Proverb HE SAID... Today we were travelling south from Zagora to a Sahara Desert Camp (via Tamegroute). We checked-out of our spacious hotel (Le Tinsouline) at 9am, had a cheesy photo stop at the replica Timbuktu, 52 Days sign, checked out the indigo head scarves worn by Berber men as protection agains ... read more

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)! The more we travel, the more we see; and the more we see, the more we understand that we know so little - which is a brilliant thing. We love the little corner of south eastern Australia we call home, but we are at our happiest when throwing ourselves into a new adventure and experiencing new cultures.

Fabulous!
I feel excited just reading your Morocco blogs and especially this one! I am remembering our own camel ride and night spent in the Sahara just 3 weeks or so ago! But all of the photos you were able to get are so far superior to mine and I'm jealous, LOL!! We had perfect weather for our time here, but we heard that the following day there had been quite a sandstorm and seeing the sunset/moon rise was impossible for that group. It was a once in a lifetime experience! Thanks for bringing it all back so vividly for us to see and read about!!
