## Itinerary

### Day 1 · M'hamid to Sidi Naji, Camel Trek

Departure from M’hamid at the desert door early in the morning with the camels and their drivers to cross arid countryside. A few hours later we will picnic in the shade… After some rest we will carry on until the Marabout’s tombstone of Sidi Naji. Then we will set up the bivouac where we will spend the evening and the night under the stars or under the tents (as you wish, according to the temperature and the season)…

Overnight: Bivouac camp in the desert

### Day 2 · Across the Hamada to the Erg Ez-Zahar Dunes, Camel Trek

In the morning, after breakfast, we will go and cross the Hamada of acacias before reaching the Erg of Ez-Zahar. There, the great dunes have kept their wild and solitary character and they overlook the most beautiful desert of Morocco… At the foot of these dunes, also called howling dunes, we will set up the bivouac so that you will be able to climb to admire the sunset…

Overnight: Bivouac camp in the desert

### Day 3 · Erg Ez-Zahar to the Erg of Smar, Camel Trek

Departure from the Erg of Ez-Zahar towards the Erg of Smar. It is a village which has fallen apart, deserted and stuck in the sand surrounded by tamaris. This place is charming and enjoyable to set up the camp for the night…

Overnight: Bivouac camp in the desert

### Day 4 · Erg of Smar to the Erg of Ait Ounir, Camel Trek

Departure from the Erg of Smar toward the Erg of Ait Ounir through little dunes and ergs. We will find a shaded place to have a break and lunch. We will spend the night in the Erg of Ait Ounir.

Overnight: Bivouac camp in the desert

### Day 5 · Across the Plains to Oued Naam, Camel Trek

For the second to last day, the caravan will go on at its own pace along the arid plains. We will stop for lunch and the afternoon nap. We will arrive in the late afternoon at the Oued Naam where we will set up the camp for the last time under the stars…

Overnight: Bivouac camp in the desert

### Day 6 · Oued Naam back to M'hamid, Camel Trek

The last day, we will leave the Oued Naam in the direction of Mhamid. We will enjoy a little more the vastness, the silence, and the song of our steps on the sand, such a beautiful melody! Bye for now desert!

### How fit do I need to be for this tour?

This is a camel trek. You ride and walk in the dunes for several hours each day and sleep in nomad camps, so you need to be comfortable outdoors and walking on sand for a few hours.

Yes. The day-by-day plan on this page is a starting point. You can add a night, swap a stop, change the pace or combine it with another route; we confirm the changes and the price in writing before you book.
