Weirdest Travel Agent Requests

The Request: To camp in the Sahara Desert in the middle of August. The traveler also wanted to make sure his tent was kept nice and cool, to shield him from the desert’s intense summer heat.

The Agent: Joel Zack, Heritage Tours, New York City

The Results: Temperatures in the Sahara that time of year can easily exceed 130 degrees, so to fulfill this request, the agent had to purchase a massive generator from nearby Casablanca. It was used to power an air-conditioning unit that had to remain full blast at all times, because the cool air easily escaped through the tent’s walls.
