THE CAMP
Meet your caravan of 4x4 vehicles and travel through the rocky, flat baked sand bordering the dunes of Erg Chebbi or jump on a camel to arrive in style. Mint tea awaits you on arrival.
The tents are very comfortable with rugs, a small table between beds equipped with flashlight, a small wash basin with running cold water, and another small table. Each bed had a neatly folded towel topped with shampoo and soap at the foot. No washcloth or conditioner, but it is the desert! Two chairs flank the tent entrance.
Between every bedroom tent, there was a bathroom tent, only feet away. There is a canvas partition between the front sink area, with hot and cold running water, and the toilet and shower area at the back.
We were woken up early for a camel sunrise ride over the dunes. We had our coffee, before watching a magnificent sunrise from the camp.
This is my first booking with A & K and the whole experiance was outstanding. I would say it was 110%.
