Off in to the sunset
Everyone's fever has subsided, everyone is rested, only Dad's stomach is not quite back to normal. So, time to do what we came down here to do. At least time for some of us.

Merzouga- Sahara Desert Adventures
... settlement of Merzouga that is the hopping off point for the camel trek into the sand dunes to camp for the night. To get to the camp, we had an hour long camel ride through the terracotta coloured dunes.
