When we planned this trip we really wanted to spend New Year in the desert. Actually we made that dream come true. We spent New Year Eve on Erg Chebbi, where sand has taken the amazing orange colour. We were walking a couple of hours on the warm dunes and we were waiting for a first proper and spectacular sunset on a desert. Oh yeah that was amazing!!! You can see photos – something difficult to describe. We celebrated beginning of 2010 on a camping with great people (owners Maria – Spanish girl and her Moroccan husband) We got fed well – with a mix of Spanish and Moroccan cuisine. We also drank red wine and Maria husband told us about tradition of Marocco country. For example he explained us that name “Morocco” means a “dry sea” and said that under the dunes people can dig to water. Also it seems that although morocco is a Muslim country the rules governing the alcohol consumption are not that strict at all – in fact you can buy wine in supermarkets what sounds fairly liberal. 
Next day we went to Erg Chebbi again. Those dunes made impressive on us, we really wanted to walk there again. This time we decided to climb the highest dune available by foot. Walking up the dunes was really exhausting and difficult during a day. It was like one step forward and two back. When we reached one of the highest dunes, we had to rest and eat something. We also stole some orange sand with us. We met few scarabs, which left funny pattern like a truck on a sand. When we were coming back from Erg Chebbi by off road we broke accidently our car suspension. We had to stop and have a look what happened. We were so stressed, but we got help from local people. One old who by chance asked if we needed any assistance, helped us mend it using a rock and small piece of wire. A typical Sharan fix – but it worked!!! We were really happy and we went to another famous spot of Sahara – a place close to Zagora.
