Dune Mania
Sand boarding without boards! Loads of silly fun simply climbing, hopping, jumping, throwing and sliding with Crocs and bags. Children adore bathing in sand!

Thirsty
Hot, dusty and dry – time to lighten our load and drink a little from the 30 litres of water that we are carrying.

The Real Mackoy!
One man and his dog or in this case camels – for us our first sighting.

First Desert Camp
Using huge rocks, bikes, trailers, buckets and bottles filled with sand to hold down the guy ropes – even in this sheltered hollow the sand is still blowing – this sand isn’t like the beach stuff but instead a very fine dust that gets into absolutely everything.

Finally Out of Town
And into the desert – yesterday couldn’t see as far of the next building due to a sandstorm
– and battled on for a very unpleasant few kilometres before we turned back and just waited.

The Corridor
What do you do if you live on the 25th floor and there is no playground around?
– Right, make use of the corridor – play cards, football and ride your bike up here.

Metro
Not the biggest but perhaps the best in the world… and how to escape the crowds!
