"M'Hamid is where the road runs out and the desert begins, which is why people choose it when they only have one night. The camel ride to Erg Lihoudi is the gentle introduction, and the 4x4 to Erg Chigaga takes you further in. Either way, the moment the town disappears behind the dunes, everyone goes quiet."
