The Desert Fox
Martin writes... After heading down from the mountains we found a hotel which offered camping. The owner, Mustafa, kindly offered his brother's guiding services (for a price!). The next morning, over breakfast, Laribe (Larry-be) walks in and offers to guide us to Merzouga for 1500Dh (150Euro). Squeezing him into Maggie we headed for Merzouga - watch the clip for more action!

Arriving in a village South of Merzouga Laribe offered to take us to a shop which sold the Berber headgear.  We got the scarves, but at a price - the price of a carpet which now lies somewhere in the depths of Maggie's rear! 
 

Exotic Sahara Dunes
Debbie writes ... In the distance we glimpsed the pink sand dunes of the Sahara - they were truly amazing!  The closer and closer we got to Merzouga the more incredible they appeared.  We were now very near the Algerian border - I never imagined the desert to have such an exotic, seductive appeal to it.  Again we were struck for words and let our cameras do the talking instead.
