This morning after breakfast, take a private transfer to the mighty Sahara, stopping to take in the views of kasbahs and palmeries (lush valleys with date palms, fields and orchards) along the way. As you pass through Erfoud and Rissani, you'll see the scenery change between barren mountainsides and fertile valleys until you reach the small Saharan village of Merzouga. When you arrive, leave your baggage, pack a daypack and saddle up for a 1-hour camel ride into the desert at the Erg Chebbi dunes – huge windswept dunes just 20 km from the Algerian border. Ride your camels into the edge of the Sahara at sunset – this is a core memory waiting to happen! The dunes are truly breathtaking as the evening light sets off the deep colours of the desert. Tonight, you’ll camp out in traditional style under the North African stars.
Accommodation: Camp Yasmina Original or similar (1 night)
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Included activities: Sahara Desert - Camel ride
Special information: Your travel time today will be approximately 5 hours. Tonight you will be sleeping in nomadic style tents which will have basic facilities. Electricity is very temperamental and relies on rechargeable batteries, so it’s better to come prepared with phones, cameras and everything else you may need fully charged. Nights in the desert can be very hot in the summer and cold in the winter so please consider this when packing.
