The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the soft shuffle of camel feet on dry earth — kind of a creaky sound, actually. Our guide Youssef handed me a blue scarf to wrap around my head (“like Sahrawi people,” he grinned) and I tried to copy him. The air smelled faintly dusty but sweet, maybe from the palm trees all around the Palmeraie. My camel was named Samba. He turned his head back at me like he wanted to say something — or maybe just to see if I’d fall off. The city felt far away already.

After we clambered down (awkwardly — I nearly slid off), there was this switch: suddenly we were strapping on helmets for the quad bike part. They gave us a quick lesson (I needed it), then off we went across rocky tracks that rattled my teeth a bit. Sometimes we’d pass little villages where kids waved and shouted “bonjour!” The wind picked up dust that stuck to my lips, but honestly it made the mint tea at our stop taste even better. Youssef laughed when I stalled the quad — “No problem, you drive like Moroccan now!”

I didn’t expect to care so much about the hammam at the end, but after bouncing around on quads it felt like sinking into warmth. The black soap smelled sharp and clean, and there was this eucalyptus steam that cleared my head. The woman doing the scrub smiled at me every time I flinched (I’m ticklish). It’s weird how quiet everything got in there after all that noise outside. Even now, sometimes when I smell eucalyptus back home I remember how calm that room felt.
