PROGRAM (5 days, 4 nights)

From Foum Zguid, we enter the Iriki National Park, and the approach to the desert is felt. We will first cross the vast stony plains where the plateau-shaped mountains offer a sumptuous background setting. We will arrive at Dunes Iriki at the bivouac that has been set up by the team, where you can enjoy some relaxation time, welcomed by the welcome tea. Then, admire the sunset from the large dune. We will dine with a good Couscous, followed by an evening under the stars.

Dunes Iriki – Erg Elhaj Ahmed
After a hearty breakfast, we will leave accompanied by camels carrying the equipment and provisions for several hours of walking to Erg Elhaj Ahmed.
