The exciting day in Fez was over and now it was time to head out to the desert! We spent most of the day on the bus (about a 10 hour bus ride), but stopped at an oasis to each lunch. Around dusk we arrived at the spot where we had to get off the bus and get into 4x4 jeeps to head out to our camp site in the Sahara! It was such an awesome experience riding through the dunes and watching the sunset! We had a line of about 25 jeeps to bring all 150 of us out to the desert…so many people! When we arrived at our campsite I couldn’t believe what I saw. The campsite was all lit up with candles and the tents looked enchanting with the moonlight shining on them. I was so excited! We had dinner inside the big dining tent and then went out to play in the dunes! The moon was almost full and the stars were so abundant! I really can’t describe how beautiful the Sahara is! The sand is so soft and warm to the touch, I couldn’t stop digging my feet into it. After star gazing for a while, we settled into our “haimas,” or tents, and got some sleep.
Wow, a campsite lite by candle light, sounds amazing!
