In the morning, you begin your trek out of the dunes. You'll head to our nomadic village, crossing part of the dried-up Lake Iriki over dry, cracked ground. You'll walk to our guesthouse and be welcomed for lunch. You'll enjoy a nice shower.
In the late afternoon, we will take you to visit our village and its oasis to see how the desert people live here and their way of cultivating the land and their water management.
The evening will be marked by a time spent with music around the campfire, an end-of-stay ritual.
