CLEANLINESS

We pick our camp spots for the beauty of the sites. Therefore, we want to protect them.
We leave nothing behind. No WC in the desert, so we ask you to burn your toilet papers after usage.
For the smokers, they can either burn their cigarettes in the bon fire, or throw them away in the dustbin put at your disposal by your guide.



ANIMALS

Kids and small animals are not in danger! Chances are little for an encounter with a scorpion or a snake. They only come out during the high heat period and your guide knows perfectly where they are. He will never endanger your life.
All what you have to do is watch where you place your feet!
