Taking a hot bath in the desert

February 23, 2018

Hossine’s village was nice but I was looking for something more remote to spend the work week. The hot spring near Fask in the middle of the desert sounded like the perfect place to work in a relaxed environment. The ride off the road was quite rough and took about 30 minutes.

After crossing the broken bridge, I re-united with Stefan and Robert at the hot spring.

All the effort was worth it! A company drilled for oil a couple of years ago. They didn’t find any oil, though. They hit on hot water which has constantly bubbled out of the ground since then. Some people built a little pool around the spring in which you can take a hot bath for free. Amazing!

Not only locals and travelers came here to take a bath or wash their clothes, but also Dromedaries visited the spring to enjoy a warm drink.

What a great place in the middle of the desert! :sunny:
