We left Jedu at 8am for the drive south to Ghadames. The 275 mile drive, across flat desert on mostly straight roads was easy (but boring). We arrived in Ghadames at 2:30pm. Ghadames is on the border with Tunisia and Algeria and is a bustling desert town which is starting to gear up for tourists wanting desert trips.
After pitching our tents in the youth hostel grounds we were taken by Alhadi’s brother (Hussein) and Lufti, an English speaking guide, for a trip into the desert to Ras al-Ghoul, an old desert castle and then into the dunes to watch the sunset (with a mass of other tourists). Once back in town we wandered into the town to find a meal by ourselves and felt like we were escaped convicts without our guard!
