    Take the famous road of 1000 kasbahs all the way to the Sahara desert, where a reception with mint tea and pastries awaits at your luxury tented camp at the heart of the dunes of Erg Chigaga. The land will be flat and dusty, but then almost out of nowhere, tall dunes rise up in front of your eyes and fill the horizon. Time to experience the Sahara desert like a local on camelback, and marvel at the way the sun sinks down to kiss the towering dunes of the Sahara in a sunset you won’t soon forget.
