About this tour
A slow, friendly desert journey suited to families and anyone who prefers shorter walking days. Starting at Oulad Amer in the Draa Valley, you follow the river south through palm groves and pisé villages before heading out into the dunes.
Highlights include the view from the Tidri mountain, nights in the Erg Sahl and Reguabi dunes, and a walk past the fortified village of Bounou to the Talha dunes. A cook and camel team look after everything, so the only job is to enjoy the silence, the campfires and the stars. Child discounts are available.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a discount for children?
Yes – children travelling with their parents receive a reduced rate. Send us their ages with your enquiry for an exact quote.
Do I have to ride the camels?
No – this is a walking trek and the dromedaries carry the luggage and kitchen. If anyone gets tired, a camel can usually be saddled for a stretch.
Where do we sleep?
In two-person tents pitched by the camel team in the dunes or beside a palm grove, with foam mattresses provided. On clear, mild nights you can drag your mattress out and sleep under the stars.
What should I pack?
