Rockin the Casbah
After Ait Ben Hadou we continued through the heat and sand into the Erg Chebbi desert. This patch of sand 160 km long and 40 km wide escaped the Sahara proper and is making it's way West to the coast. It is hot and very very sandy.
We even had a sandstorm.
We stayed at a Riad and camped in tents (Brave but silly in the heat). The next morning we got up early and sat on a dune in the Saharan sand and caught one of the most amazing sites we have ever seen on camera sunrise and a camel caravan in the Sahara.
This is one of the best highlights of all our travels.

Oh it looks amazing! I was just in Wadi Rum in Jordan, travelling around with the Bedouin and camping out. The sunsets were my favourite.
I'm not sure where you are for the holidays, but there is a great site called <a href="http://www.Dreambank.org">Dreambank.org</a> where people are posting their dream gifts. Friends and family can then contribute to the gift, it's like a gift registry. Lots of great dream travel gifts are posted, iceberg travel caught my eye, but I think I'm more of a desert girl. Perhaps I'll dreambank my next trip and go to Morocco. Morocco-Spain is really high on my list.
Thanks for sharing the great photos and stories. Enjoy the holidays.
