Very
photogenic.
And
other
worldly.
Some
describe
this
as
run
down/needing
maintenance.
Either
the
Tunisians
have
done
that
or
more
likely,
this
is
the
set
of
a
town
at
the
outer
rim
of
the
galaxy
and
should
not
be
pristine?
This
is
not
a
place
to
come
to
for
peace
and
quiet.
The
locals
offering
camel
rides,
quads,
etc
make
sure
of
that.
Do
seek
out
one
of
the
guys
making
sand
bread.
It's
an
authentic-ish
experience,
and
you
get
tasty
hot
bread
for
1
or
2
dinar
(tea
also
1
dinar).
One
tip
-
If
you
do
decide
to
go
for
any
of
these
rides,
do
not
pay
before
you
start,
unless
you
are
happy
for
them
to
cut
your
trip
short!
We
weren't
there
for
that,
so
tried
to
ignore
them.
But
the
price
kept
going
down
to
stoke
our
interest,
until
20
Dinar
(£5)
for
two
quads
for
the
four
of
us
for
15
minutes
was
agreed.
After
6
minutes,
that
was
it.
Finished.
Our
protests
got
us
a
grudging
quick
second
circuit
of
the
dunes,
but
not
the
town.
That
was
still
well
short
of
the
agreed
time,
and
as
we
were
about
the
last
to
arrive
that
day,
it
wasn't
as
if
there
was
a
queue
waiting
for
it.
Had
I
not
paid
already,
I'd
have
been
in
a
stronger
position!
Also
they
sit
on
the
edge
of
the
quad
and
drive,
so
it's
not
a
driving
sensation.
P.s.
Health
and
safety
LOL.
Equally,
we
had
no
great
interest
in
the
camel
rides,
having
done
that
in
Merzouga
but
again
the
price
plummeted
to
5
Dinar
(we
weren't
negotiating,
we
just
weren't
interested!)
for
a
quick
ride
and
photos
was
acceptable.
We
weren't
looking
for
a
Lawrence
of
Arabia
trip
into
the
dunes,
but
they
tried
to
make
that
an
'extra'
whilst
we
were
in
the
camel
-
and
I
mean
they
were
heading
to
the
desert
and
saying
in
their
broken
English
that
this
would
be
extra!
Well
we
hadn't
defined
exactly
what
we
were
going
to
get
for
5
dinar,
so
it
was
a
walk
around
the
edge
of
the
town
for
a
couple
of
minutes!
