The season from June to September can be very hot. This year, from June onwards, the temperature is in excess of 40 degrees.
For tourists not used to these temperatures, health is at risk.
With the dry climate, we have a false appreciation of the real temperature and therefore, due to a lack of assessment and caution, a high risk of dehydration or sunstroke. Dangerous animals such as sand vipers and scorpions also appear.
During this period, the temperature often drops only a few degrees at night, which is exhausting for the human body.
In winter, during December and January, the sun warms us during the day but the nights can be very cold, sometimes approaching zero degrees.
However, this period is ideal for physical effort, and is an excellent time, like early spring and late autumn, to walk in the desert and trek with camels and dromedaries.
Throughout the year, as soon as the wind blows, the sand flies away. Depending on the strength of the wind, we can see whirlwinds and sandstorms.
This meteorology modifies and shapes the appearance of the dunes, creating multiple patterns on the sand and erasing the traces of animal and human passage.
In the desert, we can see thunderstorms and rains. The postcard image of the golden dunes against an immaculate blue sky is not necessarily going to be there.
Over the course of a single day, we can experience these alternating weather patterns.
The sun, the clouds produce multiple effects in the sky and on the desert the tones change. A wide variety of colours appear differently every day.
