Vicky placed no limits on submissions, so I bombarded the poor girl with three variations on the Krampus theme.
The heartening result was two tongue-in-cheek cosy crime stories published and an invitation to read out my winning Krampus krackers story in Leeds. Thanks to Vicky and my fellow winners for an enjoyable evening. And that misshapen first draft? Not so bad when I take a fresh look at it. As with all first drafts, radical surgery is required. Wise inner author voice Writing for children.

I am a solo woman traveler of age and the care that I was given by the Camel Guide and Camel a long with the entire staff of Morocco Top Travels by far was the ultimate experience.
My every need was looked after and sometimes before I knew what I needed.
The entire time I was on the desert was magical. This is a must. The camel trek and overnight desert stay was a completely unique part of our trip to Morocco. Our Moroccan odyssey would not have been complete without it!
It was really fun to see the camels gathered next to our riad, mount our camels, and set off across the desert in a "caravan" of maybe ten camels tied together, each of us wearing a scarf wrapped in the traditional manner around our heads I loved learning how to wrap the scarf! He was extremely caring, his English was astounding he said he had just picked it up talking with visitors!
The sand was amazingly silky and cool. After the sun set, we saw the Milky Way and more stars than I've seen in the United States in decades. My single regret is that I didn't go when Ahmed led a few people on a walk across the dunes in the moonlight.
This was a wonderful experience that felt more authentic than a "luxury camp," with tents made of rugs and I think very heavy felt. Own or manage this property? Claim your listing for free to respond to reviews, update your profile and much more.

Reviewed February 3, The leather goods produced in the tanneries are exported around the world , Funduk Nejjarine Museum of wooden arts and crafts. This city is full of architecture shots, a dream for any photographer, skilled or beginner. The old city is vibrant and full of movement and life and very easy to get lost in its enchanting streets, so if you get lost, just linger and wonder, you never know what treasure awaits you just around the corner. After our visit in Fes we departed on route for Merzouga in the High Atlas Mountains, we arrived at the Auberge to start our camel trek to the overnight camp in the desert.
We took some time admiring the scenery and friending the camels that would patiently takes us to our overnight camp during an hour. During this hour we had the chance to enjoy the views, landscapes, marvel at the miracle of life in the desert in the way of palm trees that beautifully exist silently and lonely in the desert, all while enjoying a spectacular sunset and admiring the changing landscape of the ever-changing sand dunes.
We finally arrived to our camp and it was a site out of a story books, tents furnished with beds, covers and a full functioning shower, toilet and sink, oil lamps and Moroccan rugs thru out, completed the mood for the night, we proceeded to eat a traditional Bedouin dinner and then enjoyed the rest of the night enjoying the sound of drums, a bonfire and a magnificent starry night.
After spending the night at a local hotel in the area and sharing dinner with the local and playful cats, we head to Ait-Ben-Haddou, in Ouarzazate province, which is a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco. The ksar, is a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls, is a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses crowd together within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers. We walked and climbed to the top of this Ksar and once on the top we were able to enjoy the beautiful views when we were able to fight the strong and cold winds from knocking us down.
Once we were down again we stopped a local rug factory to see how authentic Moroccan rugs are made. It was the middle of January in the Africa, in the High Atlas Mountains, the next day we woke up to find a light dusting of snow that was as magical as it was whimsy. After breakfast we began our the day long journey by bus to incredible Marrakesh and it was wonderful to travel by bus and not by air to experience and marvel at all the natural and exuberant beauty that Morocco offers to everyone.
Every wounding road offered unparalleled beauty, vistas, landscapes, and picture-perfect moments. Once you get into the city of Marrakesh, everything changes, the vibe, the scenery, the traffic, the madness becomes alive. It remains the main square of Marrakesh, used by locals and tourists. Here we had street food and took in the hassle and bustle of the place where locals meet each other, where you go on a shopping spree thru the labyrinth streets of the city and buy leather goods, iconic Moroccan lamps, sweets, spices, souvenirs and many more things, after all the shopping, go back to the square where you can enjoy cobras being enchanted by man playing flutes.
