A night’s stay in Camp Chegaga

We leave Hotel “Dar Azawad” in Mhamid at 14:30 and head in the direction of the Chegaga desert. The trip goes past the old caravan route to the holy oasis. After only a few kilometres you will already be surrounded by the sea of sand. Houssine and Salah will be there to welcome you and to show you the tents, where you will spend a wonderful evening in this new and unusual place.

A short walk will take you to the summit of the big dune and from there you can watch the sunset. Dinner will be served in the tent restaurant followed by a djembe-evening (djembe = an African drum) around the bonfire together with the camel drivers. The next morning you can wake up early to watch the beautiful sunrise. The breakfast will be served in the desert, in the middle of the dunes. We travel back via Wadi EL AATACH, with arrival at the Hotel “dar Azawad” in Mhamid at approximately 11:30.
