  Sleeping under the stars
by grets
 
 

Travelling by camel caravan through the desert, there are no campgrounds where you can stop for the night. You just find yourself a suitable place, maybe with a few trees around, or a rock or two for use as the "facilities".

Roll out your mattress on a nice flat ground, get your sleeping bag out as the temperature can drop cinsiderably after the sun goes down, and just chill!

Unique Qualities: Sleeping under the stars is just amazing, especially in a place like the Sudanese deserts where there is no light pollution to detract from the incredible hugeness of the sky. You can really see thousands of stars as you gaze up at the heavens above you. There are only a handful of other places in the world where I have experienced such a wonderfully clear, starry night!

One night I heard a desert cat miaowing, although I could not see it. We were far too far away from any village for it to be a domesticated cat.
