Photo of a small number of the tents provided on the 2000 Marathon des Sables

Luxury 4 Star accommodation Morocco style!! Despite being very basic and accommodating around 9 or 10 competitors, these rough Berber tents were often viewed as a place of sanctuary from the sun during the race. Each day the tents are dismantled and moved to the new location ready for the arrival of the competitors later in the day - a mamoth feat of coordination.
