This trip is not just a trip, it is a real exploration where each dune crossed reveals a new panorama, where the wind constantly shapes new natural sculptures.

In the evening, the Saharan camp welcomes you for two nights under the stars. There, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, time seems suspended.

You will fall asleep under a starry sky, lulled by the tales and legends of local guides, witnesses to the mysteries of the desert. These moments of sharing enrich the experience, connecting you to the history and traditions of these ancestral lands.
