About this experience
Recommended when you can't handle the camel ride but aren't interested in raising your adrenaline levels. This tour is perfect for you!
We will drive you at a slow pace into the sand dunes to see the surprisingly beautiful sunrise over the golden sand dunes with its playful fusion of light and shadow.
This tour is perfect for young children who might be scared of camel rides and fast drives. The tour begins in the morning two hours before sunrise.
We will meet you at your riad or hotel in the desert at 5:30 AM (depending on sunrise timing).
Depart in the morning heading east into the Sahara on basic 4x4 off-roads across the desert of Erg Chebbi with several photo stops.
Pass first through rocky terrain then progressively enter sandier landscapes during an exciting dune drive to a nomad camp used to graze their herds of camels.
Visit one of the families who live in hand-woven goat and camel hair tents. Continue deep into the desert, crossing magical seas of orange dunes and contrasting spaces of black shiny volcanic rock.
Explore alluvial fans, ridges, dry river basins, and sandy areas, the abandoned village of M'fis and the Khamlia village of black people, descendants of slaves from Sudan and Mali, who founded the famous music of Gnawa.
The drive continues across the desert and we stop to watch the beautiful sunrise before returning to your hotel.
