Itinerary and highlights
M'Hamid Check-out with the camel team. You cross the palm grove and the first small dunes of Ras N’Khal.
Lunch in the shade of the tamarisk trees. In the afternoon, walk to the shrine of Sidi Naji, a place steeped in history for local tribes.
Crossing a huge desert plateau (Reg) before reaching the majestic dunes of Erg Ez-Zhar.
This is where the highest dunes in the region are located, offering panoramic views of the Draa Valley. Unforgettable sunset at the top of the "screaming dune".
After a spectacular sunrise, the caravan heads to Erg Smar, an abandoned ancient nomadic village where there is still a well.
It is a day rich in contrasts between sand dunes and vestiges of sedentary nomadic life.
The journey continues through the tamarisk forest and the moonscapes of the dry bed of the Draa.
