Think about that perfect desert oasis from your wildest 1001 nights dreams... It exists, and it's called Huacachina.
Once a glamorous Deauville avant-la-lettre (with its lagoon renowned for healing properties drawing the rich-and-famous en masse), it now is - much to our preference - the ultimate Rastafari hippie town, with corresponding laid-back vibe. Time for that first bandana of mine! (While today it serves as protection from the burning desert sun, it will definitely come in handy once access to running water - and hence showers - become scarce ;-)
It does only take a moment for us to prolong our stay in hippie town with another night... and another dazzling sunset. After all, there is so much fun to be had in these dunes! Two hours of dune buggy riding - rather roller-coasting - later (check our video "Dazzling Dune buggy" on the video page!), I am totally convinced about becoming a dune buggy pilot, and never leaving this place. But Jorg (an avid hater of roller coasters), and the road, are calling.
