Departure at 2:00 PM from Foum Zguid. You will climb into a 4x4 to take the rocky track, crossing the vast plains of Iriqui National Park and the former dried-up Lake Iriki, leading you to the first dunes of the Sahara Desert — the Erg El Mhazil dunes.

You will be welcomed by the camel guide and team, who will have set up the bivouac in the heart of the dunes for your first night under the stars. Here, you can admire the sunset with a stunning panoramic view from the top of the large dune — a magical moment where time seems to stand still.

Our cook will prepare a delicious meal, and in the evening, you will gather around the fire to play music and dance under the starry sky.

Start your day by admiring the sunrise, soaking in its energy and feeling the first rays in the cool morning air. After a hearty Moroccan breakfast, you will begin your first walk through the dunes. You will be accompanied by the camel caravan, which carries the supplies and bivouac equipment.

From dune to dune, you will eventually reach the next campsite. There, our team will set up the camp for the night. Dinner will be served around the fire, followed by music and storytelling, where we will share the desert’s fascinating stories.

You can choose to sleep in small tents or under the stars, fully in harmony with the desert.

The next morning, you will enjoy the cool morning air as you break camp and begin walking toward our guesthouse. First, you will leave the dunes and then cross the flat terrain of the dried-up Lake Iriki, discovering more desert landscapes along the way (about 2.5 hours of walking).

Upon arrival, you can enjoy a good lunch and take some time to rest in the shade of the courtyard or under an acacia tree. In the late afternoon, we will take a walking tour of the village of Zaouiat Sidi Abdenabi, located just a few hundred meters away. This is the nomadic village where we grew up, where you can learn about local agriculture, water management in the oasis, and discover the remnants of the past.

In the evening, you will have dinner by the fire, surrounded by the vast natural landscapes. We will share music and stories together before enjoying a final night of peace and quiet.

After breakfast, you will depart for Foum Zguid, crossing the dried-up Lake Iriki by 4x4, and arrive in Foum Zguid by late morning.
