Picture this: Three days away in the Sahara Desert. Riding camels, looking up at how vast the sky is, the light hitting the sand dunes perfectly. One of the most amazing experiences of my life, truly amazing.
We road into Erg Chebbi on camel back in a camel caravan. I named my camel Bruce. He was a real sweetie. The ride was about 40 minutes long. We arrived to our campsite and had dinner with our group. The whole day ways amazing. The colors were so bright. I was expecting a lot, but this trip surpassed my expectations. The evening was cool, it was a bit cloudy so we couldn’t really see the stars.
We woke up the next morning, very early to take the camels back through the desert to see the sun rise. The sand dunes were something like golden purple waves as far as the eye could see. Watching the the sun rise over the dunes was truly a sight to see, mesmerizing.

Our day trip to the d’Ouzoud falls was fun, we hiked down to the base of the falls, where we took a boat ride to the base of the falls. The mist felt wonderful on our faces. We didn’t get to spend too much time at the base, I would have loved to swim a bit. It’s a dream of mine to swim at the bottom of a waterfall.
Needless to say the falls were breathtaking, as they are the tallest falls in Africa.
