Meeting Said
I quickly left Erg Chebbi when a sandstorm arose right after I came back from my hike through the dunes. Fritz and Jule texted me that they stayed at a nice campsite a few kilometers north of Erg Chebbi. Although...
Exploring the Saharan dunes
People usually imagine endless sand dunes when they think about the African desert. However, the Sahara is mainly rocky like the area where I slept on Wednesday after leaving Zagora. The sand dunes cover only about 15% of the the...
