This trip begins after a relaxed lunch (depending on when you arrive). The camels will be packed with food, blankets and everything else we will need. The trek will start right into the desert, towards a completely secluded area. The path we take will lead us to a small oasis right in the middle of the dunes. This is where we will spend the night.
You can expect a magical night when the sky is clear of cover and stars sparkle and shine with intensity. During the first night, there will be a wonderful dinner around a campfire with a drum party.
In the morning, after having breakfast we will have around 2 hours to reach our next destination. We will stop for lunch next to the 'Tamarist' desert tree for about 1 1/2 hrs. In the shadow of this tree, we will have our lunch. After lunch we will head towards the home of a Touareg family with whom you will spend your second night and share some time with. The next day after having our breakfast with the Touaregs we will head towards another small oasis which is in the middle of the desert. Before reaching the camp we will stop on the way for lunch. Your 3rd night will be spent with a Berber nomad family living at this particular oasis. During dinner we will have a fantastic drum party. After breakfast we will travel back to your village or to your hotel.
Each day will involve between 90 minutes to 2 hours of either riding a camel or walking along side one.
