Day 1: Foum Zguid – Iriki Plateau – First Nomadic Camp
Meet your guide in Foum Zguid and start your adventure with a short 4x4 transfer to the starting point of the camel caravan. Once mounted, begin your slow-paced journey across the rocky desert and Iriki plateau. Walk alongside your camel, guided by local nomads who know the terrain by heart. Stop for a traditional tea break under an acacia tree. By late afternoon, help set up the mobile desert camp in a remote area untouched by tourism. Enjoy a homemade dinner by the fire and sleep in a wild Berber tent under the stars.

Day 2: Nomadic Journey – Erg Smar – Erg Chigaga Region
Wake up early to watch the sunrise over the silence of the desert. After breakfast, continue the camel trek through more dramatic terrain – small dunes, dried riverbeds, and hidden desert trails. Stop for lunch in the shade and learn how to bake bread in the sand, a traditional nomadic technique. In the afternoon, reach a new spot near the Erg Chigaga region, where you'll set up camp again. Enjoy another evening of storytelling, music, and Sahara silence.
