The story

A wonderful journey of discovery through one of the most beautiful deserts on the planet and its many facets, in perfect harmony with nature, sleeping in a tent among the dunes, listening to the silence and the songs of the Tuareg, drinking tea and admiring the magnificent colours of the sand kissed by the sun and the full moon.
