Sahara Trek offers the average person more than just another
vacation. It offers a chance to play amateur anthropologist.
People explore more than the desert. They can find out what it
means to live there. Along the way they get some great food, shop
in some amazing Souk markets, and witness breathtaking views of
nature. It's the experience of the trek that makes SaharaTrek our
Beyond-Adventure June [2000] spot light.

The Sahara sounds mythical and mysterious, unreachable, and to most
travelers just a dream, but as my story unfolds, you'll discover that
dreams can become a reality. And all because tour organizers Ted
and Luiza Reinhard want visitors to experience the 'real' Morocco,
traveling with local guides on a Nomadic Adventure. In Ted's words,
"We're one-stop Morocco." (Also see her article "Casablanca
and Marrakech"

"The Ships of the Desert"
In many ways, this trip into the desert is magical. Certainly I shall
never forget it. It is not always comfortable. There are no
toilets or showers, and the sand seems to blow right through you at
times; but I knew these things in advance and they never seemed a
hardship. There is nothing strenuous about crossing the desert on a
camel; the camel does all the work. The hard part comes when you leave
the tranquility of the desert and drive into the thronged masses of
Marrakech where you still have to do all your shopping. Now that is hard
work.

This experience of being immersed in an ancient culture has made me
more aware of the differences between our modern culture and that of the
traditional Moroccan Nomad. The desert's open spaces create a feeling of
well-being. The sand dunes meet the stars in the dark of the night. In the
day, the camels and Nomads travel the desert as they have been for
centuries. I have learned to respect the way of life that the Nomads
cherish and preserve.

"Living the life of a desert nomad"
If you yearn for the experience of a simpler, quieter life, and want
to feel a closeness to the earth and the elements, a sojourn off the
beaten track in the dunes of the Sahara may be just what you need.
SaharaTrek lets you live with nomads, travel across their desert on
camels, camp in a Berber tent and sleep under the stars of the vast
desert sky. My recent SaharaTrek trip was to be the realization of
my "Arabian Nights" fantasy.

Leaving the Sahara was like leaving the experience of peace. Marrakech
was festive and colorful, dazzling and entertaining, but after being a
Nomad even for just a couple of days, I missed the desert. Our trip was,
just as Ted and Luiza intended, the real Morocco. I no more wanted to
leave Morocco than I would want to leave a newly discovered, long
awaited soulmate, but the trip was over. I was heart-broken for weeks. I
wanted to ride on my camel to the town square in Sonoma, California,
wrapped in my blue turban, and see no more houses cramped into the
formerly open fields of the valley. I wanted to walk in pointed sandals,
wearing a flowing black djellaba and hijab, my silver Berber jewelry
clanking with every step, with a goat or two by my side. Alas here I am,
back; writing my story for you, hoping you will take from it a glimpse
of the wonderful adventure you too can have on a visit to Morocco. Pack
up your desert boots, eyedrops, water bottle bag, sunscreen, and a
brimmed hat. Or, let the Blue Men wrap you in one of their turbans, and
let the sands of the Sahara blow you away
