 Ain Sefra by sachara I love the beautifull sanddunes. These dunes near Ain Sefra were the first we saw and climbed during our trip in 1993. When I sat in the sand with Ain Sefra at the background, I realize how easy it is nowadays to travel and spent a few thoughts at the travels of Isabel Eberhardt nearly 100 years ago.
Ain Sefra is known because Isabel Eberhardt is buried here after she drowned in a flood in 1904. I loved to read her book and admired that she as a woman - allthough dressed like a man- travelled in the desert of Algeria for many years in a time that this was not easy. She -orginally a Russian born in Switzerland- became a muslim and knew a lot about arab culture. Leave a Comment

 This is me on the sand dunes in Beni Abbes by dabuwan In the Algerian Grand Erg you'll find terrific desert landscapes with endless sand dunes. Probably one of the best places is Beni Abbes oasis. You can climb the nearest dunes that almost enter the town and admire the stunning views from there. Do it at sunset because the heat is bearable and it's amazing to watch local kids playing on the dunes. Leave a Comment

First of all you should now that Sahara in summer suffers incredible hight temperatures. I went in September and at midday it was around 50 ºC, I was not used to it and it was not easy to pass, and I found it very heavy.
On the other hand you can take a profit of this hot time having a snap, resting in a shade and seeing the "mula-mulas. It is a bird that touaregs tell that brings good news, they are very confident and come very near people, if you leave them some water in a glass they will drink easily. Leave a Comment

It’s almost impossible to describe the huge variety of plants, flowers, growing in the sand (well, you can ask Francois for this); we found such colourful, wonderful vegetation both in the Oued Djerat and in the Tassili n’ Njjer. Ahmed (guess which one) told us that it has just been raining a few weeks before our arrival, some hundreds days since the last rainfall. Leave a Comment

I have never seen such a huge sky in my life. It's clear, withouth pollution. And you can see ALL the stars it contents.
This is one of the things I miss most, having supper watching the moon and the stars. Leave a Comment

the gathering together of water at the creation gave us the sea to sail on,as their separation gave us the land , on earth they give drink ; as rain from above they give food ; if such beauty can be seen in one element ! how exquisite is the whole ! ? Leave a Comment

 Timimoun Oasis by dabuwan Resting in the oasis during the hottest hours of the day is a delightful experience (and it is much safer for your health, too). Leave a Comment
