Vincent Poon :: Episode V - The Desert Strikes Back!

To make up for the loss in the first day Pawel arranged a local expert to take us to the Camel Mountain and Mos Espa (Star Wars film location) at 6am; followed by a tour in the Palmeraie in Nefta. After that we continued our 2nd day itinerary to cross east through the saltless and waterless salt lake to arrive in Douz where we could have some thrilling action in the middle of the desert at 40C.

The afternoon was spent driving to Ksar Ghilane (100km deep in Sahara) where we were supposed (but too late) to enjoy swimming in a natural lake and a night under the tent (together with the crying, howling and fighting sounds of unknown animals nearby)...Of course free heating was always supplied....

This was brik, it stuffed it with potato and vegetable inside and fried the outside... really greasy but the taste was ok

The main dish was couscous with luncheon meat?! Wait a minute, I thought we were in a Muslim country? This plate was for the eight of us...

A poster inside the restaurant.. I forgot what's her name

After lunch, we went to Pegase Douz for all the fun and actions.

You could choose from different options here, but with a temperature over 40C in the middle of the desert I didn't feel like to be exposed to the sun at all!

Quad bikes

two seaters

I wonder if this was still good to go~

Finally found some proper toilet today!

Dates palms with lots of dates, what's more.. they were easily reachable too!

Camels this way please~

Yes, you could see some camels here, but it seems no one bothered to take a ride with them in this weather!
