    Before travelling to Morocco I arranged a trip to the Sahara from Fes where I was based. Our guide arranged for us to travel there in a taxi. Eight hours is a long journey but we saw some fantastic scenery along the way. In hindsight though I might have arranged the taxi myself so I could have ensured a seat belt!
    On arrival in Rissani we were met by Hassan and travelled in a 4x4 for about half an hour to the edge of the Sahara. We then collected our camels and rode to our camp among the sand dunes while the sun was setting. I had booked the trip as a surprise for my boyfriend's birthday and thought we would be with lots of other people. As we went in late November it was really quiet, just us and the guides (three). We didn't see anybody else the whole time we were there. We stayed in a luxury bivouac and in the evening had a lovely meal and played morrocan music around the campfire. In the morning the two of us climbed up a sand dune to watch the sunrise which was absolutely spectacular. Looking around we couldn't see anybody else at all just sand dunes for miles and miles. It was very romantic. The trip was extremely well organised and Hassan is very friendly and knowledgable. I would highly recommend it. It's a real once in a lifetime experience.

    Our trip was arranged through Hassan from www.sahara-magic.com
