We must almost have crossed paths as we too were in the High Atlas on our way to Erg Chigaga in the Sahara in early January. Can't say enough about Amazigh hospitality which we also experienced at first hand.
Wonderful photos! I particularly love Fatima’s kitchen. And the welcome of mint tea and bread and olives and fruit. What a splendid place to have visited.
I still dream of that sweet mint tea, and the most gorgeous olives I've ever tasted. Oooh – and the honey. Delicious honey! It's a beautiful world up there, Holly. Beautiful people. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your photos from your month in the Atlas mountains. It brought many fond memories of my time there in 2006 when I climbed Mt. Toubkal and all the wonderful people I met along the way.

No way! It would have been brilliant to meet up. How was Erg Chigaga?
What a pity we didn't, Narina!
Erg Chigaga was an extraordinary experience:

Well, my list is long. But I’m adding it nonetheless. Just in case.
Thank you, loved reading you post and enjoyed the photos
Thanks Cormac – it was a really special trip. Cold, but wonderful :)
Beautifully written... and lovely memories!
Love Fathimas kitchen, the generosity and hospitality of those who live without the "conveniences" we take for granted.

Wow, Fatima's kitchen is interesting and show you don't need much to cook delicious food.
