There you will be welcomed by the welcome tea and you can relax in front of the beautiful landscape that surrounds the house, under the warm lights of the sunset.
At nightfall, the house will light up with a thousand and one candles for a magical atmosphere, around a local meal cooked with good fresh ingredients. Outside, well covered, you can admire the stars in a bright sky and surely see shooting stars.
The evening will continue with music around the percussions and traditional rhythms that transport you to the atmosphere of the desert nomads.

After lunch, we will leave in the direction of the dunes on camel for a crossing of about 2 hours of the dry lake of Iriki. There you will discover the bivouac nestled in the dunes of erg El Mhazil, a place of complete calm.
