The Unique Overnight Ever!
We did a camel trek with overnight in the desert. I set it up way in advance with Said who was very responsive.
The trek itself was great. I was surprised that my 7 yr old rode his own camel but he loved that.
I was shocked. I anticipated very basic accommodations but instead, we had a full suite, with a shower, toilet, electricity, huge dining tent, sitting couches and chairs outside, fire pit, even chairs on top of dunes (Little prince style).
Food was very good, plenty of water available for all, Highly recommend booking with MTA.
Amazing Experience!
This was an amazing experience; we rode a camel for 2 hours at sunset, then we ate Tajine and after the same chat with Hassan (a very nice guide, could help to understand a little more the berbere culture).
we went to sleep under the stars (it was quite warm at night), then we wake up early in the morning to go back to Hassi Lbaied and stopped in the middle of nothing just to see the sunrise behind the dunes.
Highy recommend this experience with these people!
