Smara Refugee Camp, Tindouf, Algeria

Smara - one of the Sahrawi refugee camps with troubled history and no bright outlook at the moment. Hosting Sahara Marathon for 12 years in a row already. A great experience. No infrastructure, but full of kindness and great people. Totally recommended. Run, desert and humility.
