After breakfast we continue toward the village of M’Hamid, the last town before the vast Sahara Desert begins. Beyond M’Hamid the road disappears and the adventure begins. We travel by 4×4 across desert tracks, passing wide open landscapes, dry riverbeds, and small desert oases. Eventually the massive dunes of Erg Chigaga appear on the horizon. In the late afternoon you will enjoy a camel trek across the dunes while the sun sets over the Sahara. The colors of the sand change beautifully as the light fades.
At the desert camp you will enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner followed by Berber music around the campfire under a sky filled with stars.
