We are sad


The current situation in Egypt has saddened all of us on the Desert Therapy staff. Exactly one year ago, we were in the desert, happy to celebrate one of the participants Roberto, that turned 50 years old there. We would never have imagined what would happen in the meantime. In Egypt we have many friends, our driver, cook and Solah the Bedouin that accompanies the camels. We are in contact with them, and all are well, confirming that the problem is confined to the cities, but we are sad. I remember the many carefree days spent together. In March, two groups have already booked for the White Desert, but if the situation doesn’t return to normal by the end of this week, we reluctantly will give up the trips and postpone everything until October. For Desert Therapy, safety has absolute priority over everything and without sufficient safeguards we will not go.
In the meantime we are preparing to depart Feb. 18 for the desert of Morocco. It will be a first, to be attended by many friends who have traveled with us and who do not want to miss it. Obviously we are monitoring the current situation in this country who as of today is still quiet, despite the negative news that sometimes spread without any justification. We wish to visit all the deserts soon, and we hope that man's violence does not stop us from returning to the place we love and that has always given us such strong emotions. Inchallah ........
