After a hearty breakfast, we find our mounts waiting for us a little further on.

We resume trekking and we cross the Jebel Bani via the Tjiniya pass (1095 m altitude) with approximately 300 to 400 meters of elevation which you will climb to enjoy a superb view of the entire valley and the immensity of the Saharan space.

We will stop for lunch in the dry oasis of Moulili beyond the mountains.

After this well-deserved rest, we head to our bivouac set up in the middle of the Lamrayer dunes, where you will have dinner and spend the night.

Day 3 – Lamrayer – Erg Elghool ou Erg Lihoudi (depending on the time and the season)

After a hearty breakfast, we will continue the Saharan discovery.

After trekking for two to two and a half hours across the sands, we’ll pause for lunch beneath the shade of a tamarisk tree. Later in the afternoon, we’ll arrive at Erg Elghool or Erg Lihoudi’s sand hills (depending on the time and season).

The bivouac will be prepared there, offering dinner and accommodation for the night.

Day 4 – Erg Elghool or Erg Lihoudi – M’hamid – Zagora

Following breakfast, we’ll continue our trek either on foot or camelback through M’hamid’s dunes.
