Program:
We will leave in the morning towards the Iriki National Park and the dunes of Erg Chegaga. After taking the pebble track like Paris Dakar, we will reach the village of Zaouait Sidi Abdenabi and our guest house for lunch. At the heart of this traditional adobe house, you can enjoy the vast savannah-like landscapes that surround the house while enjoying the shade of the terrace.
In the early afternoon, we will go towards the dunes. First the sandy track in the middle of the tamarisks, then the grandiose landscape that unveils the Erg Chegaga and its highest dune in Morocco. After a welcome tea in the bivouac, we will leave for a walk in the dunes to the top of the highest dune. There you can take the time to contemplate the sea of sand that stretches in front of you and enjoy its energy that soothes the spirits. You also have the possibility to replace the walk with a camel ride in the dunes, for a circuit of about 1 hour.
After enjoying this dune scenery, we will return to the 4x4 to go back to Foum Zguid while traveling through the vast expanses of the ancient dried up lake of Iriki. We will make several breaks to allow you to take unforgettable and unusual photos.
