“Glamping” in the Sahara!

Our desert safari was absolutely amazing! On our drive there, we went through the “Switzerland of Morocco” in the Atlas Mountains.

When we arrived, Iddir met us with the camels for a trek during sunset to our camp. I will let the pictures do the talking…

Our tent was basic, but it had all we needed, hot water for a shower and electricity for charging devices! We had a delicious evening meal, Berber music around the campfire, and the BEST breakfast of the trip! The Berber people are pre-Arab and have a rich cultural heritage.

And a return the next morning by camel, of course!

We then visited an oasis in the small village – it was HUGE and they are all over Morocco. Families have a plot of land to grow produce and water comes from a well through a viaduct.

We bought Berber carpets, handmade by Berber women.
