With the help of the camel-drivers, Doudou has found the oasis of El Berbera. There is something like a huge hole in the desert, and at the bottom of this hole lies a forest of palm trees. We call that a palm grove.

Yomping through the rocks, Doudou has got down to the palm grove. Here we don’t feel of standing in the desert anymore : under the shade of the palm trees, it’s very cool, we are protected from the burning sun and wind, and we can even ear the birds singing. It’s a little piece of heaven.
