We left the hotel early for a long bus ride to the start of our trek near M’Hamid, a small village in the Zagara region. On route we stopped for refreshments and the group had the opportunity to buy some local sash's to protect us from the sun and sand before we entered the desert. We followed the Draa Valley before crossing the Jebel Bani mountain range to the edge of the Sahara desert. Where the local crew were waiting for us along with the camels that would carry our kit across the desert.
After loading the kit onto the camels we set off for a short walk to our first camp. The first few km’s were across flat open desert before we began trekking into the sand dunes. During the afternoon the temperature reached a pleasant 35 C. We arrived at a small area of sand dunes in the middle of the Erg Louida plain which would be our first camp site where the group had the opportunity to relax and watch the sunset over the desert.
