We will ride through the desolate landscapes of the desert, rocky terrain interspersed with reddish dunes, as in Ergchebbi. Here we will leave the horses to continue with the camels, more suitable for climbing the high dunes. Possibility of overnight stay and dinner in a guest house in Ergchebbi for those who do not want to continue by camel; for the others dinner and overnight stay in a nomad camp hidden in the dunes.
We recommend getting up at dawn to admire the sunrise over the dunes; abundant breakfast and departure by camel to return to retrieve the mare. On the saddle towards the state of Algeria admiring the suggestive succession of dunes before reaching the plain and a lake, very often dry, except after very rainy winters. Dinner and overnight in a mobile camp.

We will arrive at the hotel in time for lunch, and in the afternoon, you can drive to the desert town of Rissani and visit the mausoleum of Moulay Ali Cherif, first king of the dynasty and the noisy souks.

You will ride out of the oasis through the endless plains interspersed with dunes. In the afternoon you will reach the area of underground channels hidden in the mountains, where we will camp for dinner and overnight.
