Day 1: Foum Zguid – Erg El Mhazi

We will depart in the early afternoon from Foum Zguid. In a 4×4 vehicle, we will enter the Iriki National Park, renowned for its vast plains and diverse landscapes, approaching the mountains known as the “Jewel of the Moroccan Desert.” These plateau-shaped rocks rise through the flat horizon, creating a surprising and impressive landscape. We will take the time to stop and contemplate these breathtaking views.

 

After experiencing the plains and peaks, we will reach the first dunes of the Sahara until we arrive at Erg El Mhazi. Here, our team will have set up the tents and campsite where we will spend our first night. Surrounded by untouched nature, you can enjoy the sunset over a sea of sand stretching before you. Later, dinner will be served around the fire, and you can simply look up to admire the brilliantly starry sky of the desert. Discover the joy of a peaceful night in the midst of the dunes, in the tranquility of the desert.

 

Day 2: Erg El Mhazi – Erg El Ghoul

After breakfast, we will break camp and set off to explore the desert on a 4-hour walk. Accompanied by a caravan of camels carrying supplies and camping equipment, the hike will be at your own pace, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of the landscapes and observe the small details revealing the vibrant life within the dunes. Listen to the song of the wind and the grains of sand beneath your feet, fully enjoying moments that reconnect you with yourself and the surrounding nature.

 

We will walk until we reach Erg El Ghoul. You can participate in setting up the camp, then rest, go observe the panorama from the highest dunes, or simply savor the present moment. In the evening, you can share the highlights of the day around the fire. We will play music as is customary among the nomads, creating a joyful and convivial atmosphere.

 

After a fulfilling day, you will appreciate a good night’s sleep, either in tents or under the stars, depending on your preference.

 

Day 3: Erg El Ghoul – Nomad School – Foum Zguid

Early risers can witness the sunrise over the dunes to start the day on a positive note. The temporary camp will be dismantled as we head towards our next and final destination: the nomad school. After approximately 2 hours of walking, we will reach this small school where classes are held under a large tent for children from the surrounding nomadic camps. It is a beautiful moment of exchange and sharing with the local population, where the children with radiant smiles will welcome you with pleasure.
