You will be exposed to be driven through this long empty flat to reach the undulating dunes of erg zahar.
After a while ,a load of Unique dunes with dramatically different shapes will be in front of you to hike in order to reach the other side, but what is not expected is how you will feel after you see the surrounding dunes from the top of the furthest dune Zahar.
Here we will set camp cocooned by the dunes all around us and after some time to relax and soak up the sunset, dinner will be served around the coy camp-fire.
