    The trip up into the atlas on Mules and trekking down again was really good. Also the desert trip and overnight in the dunes was a great experience

    The best bit for me was the mules and the mountain village, such a wonderful insight into how remote communities live. The camels and the desert were a great experience. The bike ride was an endurance test, particularly for our guide who was observing Ramadan. I was a bit concerned over his welfare. I was proud of myself for doing it though.

    We enjoyed the Atlas Mountains village stay and trek, and we enjoyed our night in the Sahara. The trek was a perfect level for my 8 year old - he loved it.
