1001 star hotel



The night in the Western Sahara, sleeping under the stars 'aka the 1001 star hotel' started with a camel ride through the dunes to the desert camp.

We had to make sure we were appropriately dressed first...







After a hour or so we were at the desert camp - taking mint tea aka Berber whisky!




Then we hiked up the dunes to see sunset - really spectacular, or as crazy Sayed would say 'amazing'!







We then slept under the stars - so many, but no pictures as my little camera couldn't cope. The following morning camels back to the auberge... This time it hurt more!
