After breakfast,we leave for M’hamid, stopping on the way to explore the holy city of Tamgroute, an important religious and learning centre of the Nasiriyya Sufi where we can visit the Koranic library, explore an underground Kasbah and be tempted by the products made in the Tamgroute pottery, renowned for its special green glazes. At M’hamid, at the desert’s threshold, we’ll have lunch at the bivouac, and then ride camels for about two hours before we continue our journey. From M’hamid we leave the road and travel in a 4×4 vehicle through the beautiful desert landscape until we reach the towering sand dunes of Chegaga. They are the largest group of dunes in the region, and look like small, sandy mountain ranges reaching heights of 300 metres with a span of some 40 kilometres. We will camp in Berber tents and at dinner we will be entertained by local musicians.
