2 nights “visiting Nomads” tour
November 14th, 2010
Trip
Day 1
We leave the Merzouga village after the lunch about 4 p.m. Taking all we need for the night: blanckets, sheets, bottled water and ingredients for a dinners, breakfasts and lunch , we pass the dunes on the camels’ back to reach the Oubira oasis at about 7 p.m. You find a rest there while I will be cooking a perfect tagine on a fire for you. After the dinner there will be listening to Sahara tam-tam music near the fire and drinking a berber whisky (berber tea) together. You may spend all night watching millions of stars dotting the sky. This is the view you will never see in the city. The night you can spend in the nomad tent or outside, according to your wish.
Day 2
In the morning you can admire the beautiful sunrise. We have a simple breakfast and we stay at the oasis, taking photos, climbing the dunes, snowboarding or just simply doing nothing among the palm trees and after berber lunch (at about 2 p.m.) about 4 p.m. we start to countinue our trip behind the dunes. We will travel trough the sand desert for an hour than reach the hamada and about 1,5 to 2 hours we will travel trough it to Nomads’ place when we will stay for the night in the tent. Waiting for the dinner and the fire, there will be time to take a walk to the camels herd and observe their habits, taking photos of them and the sunset over the dunes. After the tea and the dinner we will rest near the fire listening to tam-tam music and learning how to play like touaregs do. We wake up in the morning and after a simple breakfast we take a road back to the hotel. We arrive there in the lunch time.
