From Marrakesh, I took a 3 days and 2 nights magnificent tour to the Sahara Desert. It was a long 2 days drive from the city to the border of the desert.

We stopover for a mountain view. We also visited the mountain pottery making place.

We had another stopover at a cafe for lunch .

We had dinner in the hotel and stayed there for a night. I shared the room with another 2 people.

The next day, we visited the carpet making place.

We proceeded for more sightseeing.

Aït Benhaddou (Arabic: آيت بن حدّو) is a historic ighrem or ksar (fortified village) along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakesh in Morocco. It is considered a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. We visited this place.

Finally, we reached the border of the desert in the late afternoon.

We rode on the camel into the desert for about one and the half hour before we reached the camp side at about 8pm. Dinner was well prepared for us. We were entertained by the locals with songs and dances under a wonderful Arabic starry night. We left the desert in the next morning at about 6am.
