    Well although our overnight camp wasn't that far from civilisation- (we could see the lights of the town, and 4x4's passed nearby quite frequently) we were aware that we were still in the desert.

    A sandstorm blew up while we were eating our meal, which was a bit of an inconvenience!

    Some of our party had enquired if they could sleep outside, if it was safe? and were told that Yellow scorpions were known to be blown in by the wind.
    Apparently bites from some desert creatures can be fatal - but we were assured that we were within easy access of medical treatment!!!!!!

    During the night, we could hear packs of dogs howling and barking - some sounded quite close at times. 1 of our party, paying a visit to the toilet, was surprised by a beast standing on top of one of the nearby dunes, which she described as lion like!!!!!

    Oh, and during my morning ablutions, I noticed a slither shape in the sand, as if a snake had wriggled by!

    Well I still felt quite safe despite all this-

    Beware of sunstroke + sunburn
  • Tip Rating:
  • Hopefully it goes without saying, but stock up on plenty of water and protect your skin from the suns rays. Also be aware of how fast the sun sets in the desert.

    The kids
    Hanging out around the hotels are "the kids" it's annoying at first but they're actually pretty harmless. Here's how the system works - The local shop owners send their teenage sons out to hang around the hotels and bother the tourists until they can lead them back to the family shop, where dad will sell them stuff. They've got all kinds of goofy little scams they try, but none of it's threatening and, hey if you do want to buy something (like a shesh) you might as well go with one of 'em, it doesn't cost extra.
