Morocco and Tunisia tour
The camel trekking in the Sahara desert is as overwhelming and magnificent as the Sahara Desert itself.
This mysterious and vast place is often subject to strong dry and sandy winds, known as sirocco.
So, wearing the Bedouins cloth made of camel hair, sheep or goat skin is helping you to fight the hot dusty winds, the unbearable heat of the desert during the day and the bitter chill at night.
Even though the hottest months have temperatures exceeding 50 degrees C, it could be extremely cold in the winters and at night when the temperatures drops below freezing points.
During the chilly nights you can watch the sunset over the golden sand and have a hearty dinner cooked at a campfire.
The most comforting and inspiring food we’re served in the Sahara Desert was the ‘Moroccan Chicken and couscous soup’, flavored and spicy. Yummy!
This soup is a great discovery for any occasion and is always highly complemented by my family and friends for its flavor, spice and exotic taste stirred by Morocco and Tunisia travel.
It is ultimately ‘Inspired by travel’ recipe.
