Continuing along an off-road track, we explore the vast dunes and stop for tea with a nomadic Berber family, offering a glimpse into their traditional way of life.
    For lunch, savor an authentic Berber pizza before returning to the hotel to relax. Later, embark on an unforgettable camel trek into the dunes, where you’ll witness a magical Sahara sunset. As night falls, arrive at a desert camp, where you’ll experience traditional Berber hospitality, enjoy a delicious dinner, and sleep in a nomadic tent beneath the star-filled sky.
