The Sahara, which covers most parts of Northern Africa, is the world’s largest hot desert and the world’s second largest desert after Antarctica. It’s a beautiful place full of various mysteries. Even today, though things are changing, most areas in Sahara remain almost completely untouched by the modern world.
To cross Sahara is actually the life-time dream of many supper fans of traveling, especially the ones who love hiking. To successfully do so, the role of camel, which is the main way of transportation, is extremely important. When you are traveling through the Sahara, you could go weeks without seeing another person, and camels will be your only company.
In order to buy good camels, it’s important to enlist the help of a really trustworthy local, who can scout the market and check for defects. The going rate in Djanet is around 250 pound per camel. If you can go to Timbuktu, it will be better, as camels are cheaper there.
