From A To M’Zab

Ghardaïa is “only” 1,700 kilometers (1050 miles) away from my house, as the crow flies. But 45 years ago, to get to the “the pearl of the oasis” in northern Sahara’s M’zab region, my wife and I first drove down to the port of Marseille in our Peugeot 404, took a ferry to Annaba, visited Constantine, and Batna, and drove through the Atlas mountains. Child’s play — especially with our 10 year-old daughter in the back of the car!
