After breakfast, we will explore the tiny villages around Erg Chebbi dunes such as Hassi Labied, Merdani, Khamlia, and M’fis.
On our way to Khamlia, we expect to meet locals showing their desert foxes. You may also encounter desert reptiles and mammals along the way.
We visit the village of the Khamlia, originally home to slaves from Sudan, to experience their music and culture.
Our next stop is the panoramic view of golden dunes near the Algerian border.
You will visit the sites of black volcanic rocks before continuing on to reach the panorama near Yasmina lac (if there’s water in) where you will view the scene of the dunes in addition to the nearby lake (springtime).
Not far away there is the lake of Merzouga, with its bird populations, including flamingos.
You may also visit the nomad wire house where many Berber handicrafts are priced lower than in the big cities.
Return to Merzouga prior to sunset to mount your camel, and explore inside the mysterious sand-sea of the Erg-Chebbi.
Here you’ll spend your first night under the stars, or if you prefer, in a traditional Berber nomad tent.
Enjoy dinner and music under the stars.
Overnight desert camp.
