"Worth every minute of the long drive"

"Yes, it's a long day. But our driver made it interesting at every stop. Ait Benhaddou at sunrise, the Route of Kasbahs at midday and then standing on the Erg Chebbi dunes at sunset — it was worth every kilometre."

"Sahara sunrise changed my perspective on life"

"I've seen many sunrises in my life but nothing comes close to 5am at Merzouga with the Milky Way fading and the orange sand turning gold. Our guide woke us at exactly the right time."
