What you will need

• A sleeping bag for anyone wanting to spend more than 3 nights in the desert.
• Warm clothing for chilly nights and evenings (day-time temperatures in winter months are pleasant).
• A chech to protect your face from wind and sun, - you can buy one on the spot in M’hamid.
• A Swiss Army knife and a torch are always very useful.
• Sports shoes such as trainers (avoid hiking boots as they are too heavy)
• A good quality sunscreen, sunglasses and a basic first aid kit.
• Novels and/or other reading matter!

The Ethical Traveller’s Charter

Whenever anyone travels from one country to another, two worlds meet. We are all travellers, tourists and explorers at one time or another but without a shadow of a doubt we are always guests and the countries that we take so much pleasure in visiting are our hosts. The happiness that travel brings us may even depend on this sometimes delicate relationship.
There are many ways to travel and to experience new environments, but inevitably we leave something of ourselves behind us – traces of our passing that are warm, generous, discreet, sometimes dangerous and immutable. Each journey is a chance to learn a little more. Each region is different and yet each one often causes us to question, to doubt even, our own assumptions.
