Itinerary
Day 1: In the palm grove
Stop At: M’Hamid, M’Hamid, Souss-Massa
The caravan will start from M’Hamid El Ghizlane and you will be accompanied by the desert bird team (its camel drivers, guides and cooks). We will first cross the palm grove of the village and have a meal in the shade of the palm trees. The walk will continue until Marabout Sidi Naji, sanctuary of the ancestor of our tribe, the Nouajis. We will install the bivouac there for the night and spend the evening around the fire, under the starry sky.
Duration: 1 day
Meals included:
• Lunch: All meals are included. The midday meal is often cold and the evening meal cooked over a wood fire.

Day 2: Bertham Dunes
Stop At: M’Hamid, M’Hamid, Souss-Massa
After a good breakfast, the walk will lead us to the magnificent dunes of Bertham. You will see some traces of the nomads and their herds that once lived there. We will set up the bivouac for the night not far from the plains of ostriches, a place where the nomads still keep their flocks.
