Camel Ride at Sunset
The classic Sahara moment: a slow camel walk over the dunes at golden hour.
Camel Trekking
See the Dunes the Old Way
A camel ride is the best way to feel the real Sahara. You sit high on your camel and follow a local Berber guide across the soft dunes of Erg Chebbi, just like the old desert caravans.
We go at sunset or sunrise, when the light is soft and the sand changes color. You stop on top of a big dune to watch the sun and take great photos, then ride back to the camp for tea.
