A Camel Ride

 Possibly the highlight of the trip    

Was a camel ride through the dessert to a camp in an oasis. First we drove south and crossed  a branch of the Atlas  mountains.  This mountain chain cross  Morocco from NE to SW and was the source of the infamous earthquakes last month.  We didn’t witness any damage as that was all in the far southern region of the country 

We stopped in a small roadside village for a presentation of Berber music and couscous followed by a large lunch.

Then it was onward to meet Clyde the camel for an hour ride across the desert.

We watched the sunset from a sand dune and then into our camp.  This is a luxury camp with full toilet, large shower and large comfortable bedding.  Dinner was served in a wonderful dining room.  We closed the evening at the campfire listening to some Berber music under the night sky.
