A 3-hour Douz Sahara camel ride timed for sunrise or sunset, with hotel pickup, desert dunes, a dune-top hike, and traditional outfits.
“Mis à part un léger retard à la prise en charge à l'hôtel, l activité à été super bien. Les paysages sont incroyables et à voir au moins 1 fois dans une vie. Wassim qui s occupait des dromadaires à été très serviable et sympathique. Vraiment si vous allez à douz c est 1 activité à faire absolument selon moi”
3-day Sahara camel trek from Douz: sunrise rides, Berber and Bedouin meals, 2-night desert camp under the stars, pickup included.
“The trip was absolutely stunning: endlessly beautiful landscape, well behaved camels with character, amazing food and above all the best guide we could wish for. I can only recommend and will come back for a longer trek in the desert with Ahmed. Everything was well organized, the camels looked healthy and well taken care of.”
