Gabrielle J Unforgettable experience in the desert!

My friend and I travelled to the Sahara with Amar and it has been the best trip I’ve embarked on. After a long drive with beautiful sights and some delicious food stops, we made it to the desert. We got to experience life in the desert and did some activities.
