    Extraordinary despite the difficulty of moving with 40 degrees in the shade (and how much in the sun!! ). Landscapes that can never be forgotten. Images that will remain forever etched in our memory. And a perfect organization: a big thank you to the drivers, a big thank you to the cooks (and how difficult it is to cook in the desert) a big thank you to the guides who accompanied us and above all thanks to the organizer thanks to which we were able to understand a little better this world of the Afars, this lost territory as coming from another world where time has stood still and where for us French still lurks the shadow of Rimbaud. So thank you and thank you again.
