I love traveling and I’ve been to a lot of places. But the most memorable trip for me is Sahara Desert. That’s a biggest desert in the world. Me and my friends 3 girls went to there 2 years ago. We joined a one tour, it helped us to meet new friends and played together. We enjoyed desert saferi，riding the camel，singing and dance with the bonfire at night. In the desert, we can see so many stars bright in the sky, they seem very close to us. We drinked and talked our stories with happiness. In such a quiet and freely place，people can leave the troubles behind. When you stayed in cities for a long time, you will find some comfortable and fresh places far away to release your pressure. And Sahara Desert, it’s a magic place to attack you to travel again. When you are there, you will feel the charm.
