In the desert
What is the desert camp like?
You sleep in a Berber tent in the dunes, with beds and warm blankets. Dinner and breakfast are included, and the evening ends with Berber music around the fire.
Do I have to ride a camel?
No. The camel ride is gentle and suitable for most people, but you can also reach the camp by 4×4.
Is it cold at night?
From November to February, nights in the desert can get close to freezing. Bring warm clothes; the camp provides heavy blankets. Read the best time to visit the Sahara.
