Sahara Desert, waiting for customers

Our Sahara Desert experience included a ride on a camel through the sand dunes to watch the sunset, and spending the night in a Berber tent, with food and drink served along with some musical entertainment. I greatly enjoyed it, except for the sandstorm we encountered while sitting atop a dune, but it isn’t something I feel a need to do again!

Since we had some free time before heading out to the sand dunes, we visited with some of the camels waiting for riders. There was a large number of camels, but it looked like they were all in use by the time the sun set.

Lovely desert scenes. The clothing and saddles add a bright splash! I've never ridden a camel! V

Dear Helen - you are so fearless - taking pictures of these creatures is one thing - getting on one of them and riding is a whole other ballgame.

Quite an experience to relate, and fine images to go with it. Thanks for sharing.

It must be a hard life, not knowing when you may earn some money.
