Overview
The Sahara is a different world altogether; here, even time flows differently. Instead, time doesn't exist here at all. Only an endless series of otherworldly landscapes, the smooth sway of a camel beneath you and the breathtakingly beautiful star-filled sky, accompanied by the melodious song of the guide. You notice their beauty and enjoy every minute of it.
This journey will take us through the Atlas Mountains with their majestic ravines, green oases appearing in the middle of the desert with groves of date palms and gardens. We'll visit ancient fortresses and have an overnight stay in the desert, and we will even visit "Hollywood". We will learn about nomadic and Berber life and learn the skills of a potter and camel racer, and perhaps we can help with date picking, making tajine or creating a wedding carpet. We will also take lots of pictures, taste a range of local food and solve many mysteries. Trips like these are never forgotten, and sometimes they can be life-changing.
