Some sand-boarding in the Sahara Desert , Morocco.
The world's largest hot desert, the Sahara stretches 5.6 million square miles.
Getting to the top of some of the dunes takes the best part of a morning.
Best to start the treck as early as you can before it gets too hot.
Such a surreal place. We have lots of deserts in Australia, but nothing like this.
We didnt have proper sandboards.
These are for snow :-) ... not going to last long out here.
Definitely wear long pants to avoid chafing on the inside of your legs, plus bring closed-toe shoes.
Move with the camel. The first half day is the worst. Once you get used to the sway & roll of the camel's body
its quite easy. We rode the camel for nearly 3 days and loved it.
At the end of our journey everyone had developed a close bond with their camels.

Soil is packed between then, when all is set, the wood is removed, to reveal the wall.
