Free time to walk through the gorges. We continue to Erfoud (city of fossils), where we can see the quarries where they are extracted and know how they are worked then to give them the most varied forms and uses. Then we will arrive at Rissani, with its great and authentic souk and finally, at Merzouga, in front of the high dunes of Erg Chebbi. In the afternoon the camels await us to enter the desert while we wrap up the beautiful sunset that offers some spectacular colors on the sand. This night will be special, since you will live one of the best experiences in the desert, which is to sleep in a Haima in the middle of the desert with all the comforts. Here we will enjoy a great dinner with a beautiful starry sky, enlivened with drum music.
