After that, you’ll drive through Nkob, a small Berber hamlet noted for its numerous Kasbahs and as the starting point for a walk to Dades across the Jabel Saghro (Saghro Mountain).
On the route to Rissani, a Saharan town known for its traditional enormous market, if not the most important and largest in the southeast of the country, where many nomads come either for shopping or selling. Rissani market is the nearest (35 km) to Merzouga desert as well as all Erg Chebbi bordering communities in that big area.
In addition, you will go to one of the most popular desert places, the Erg Chebbi Sahara desert, where you will eat your meal followed by a music party (Berber drums) around the campfire and spend the night in a well-equipped tented camp while witnessing the sunset.
Day 3: MERZOUGA_nomad families_gnawa music
Today, you have a unique morning in the Sahara; it is well worth rising up to see the stunning sunrise over the sand dunes, before eating breakfast and freshening up, and riding the camels back to the departure point to meet your driver at the dune line.
Then go on an off-road discovery tour of the surrounding villages, such as Hassi Labied and Khamlia, where you’ll find a lot of dark-skinned musicians who enjoy Gnawa music, which originated in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Visit Mefes village, an abandoned tiny town famous for its lead mines, followed by a date with a nomad family living on the outskirts of the Erg Chebbi sand dunes.
You can rest at your accommodation in the afternoon, or you can go back to the dunes and watch the sunset once more, or finish your day with an hour of ATV Quad biking on the dunes (Not included in the tour price). The hotel is where we spend the night.
