Off the beaten track in the coastal Sahara

Day 1: Laâyoune and Camp Bédouin
A taxi or a representative from Camp Bédouin will meet you at Laâyoune airport to take you to Camp Bédouin. Immersion in the desert will be almost immediate!
At dinners, you can take a tour of the Camp menu, famous in particular for its dromedary tagine with dates!

Day 2: Aggriou plateau
The morning will be devoted to discovering on foot the left bank and the bottom of the Oum Dba depression which borders the Camp. Always on foot or in a 4×4, you can venture into the labyrinth of dunes of the Aggriou plateau where a wild bivouac will be set up for you.
You will be offered to bake bread in the sand, to try a sand bath if the temperature is sufficient and to cleanse yourself in a Moorish hammam using little water, in the Sahara style.
In the evening, barbecue and campfire under the stars, without neighbors …

Day 3: sebkha of Tah
Take your time in the morning to enjoy the calm of the desert while the team dismantles the bivouac. For the return to Camp Bédouin, you can alternate hiking on the edge of the cliff and sections in 4×4.
After a good shower and lunch, you will go on a 4×4 excursion to the immense Tah depression, an hour’s drive away. A few dunes but mostly impressive colorful cliffs that are well worth a little exploring. On the way back, stop to visit a saltworks in a very curious natural setting.
Overnight at Camp Bédouin.

Day 4: ocher desert of Khaoui Nam
Further north, the lagoon of Naïla allows, in good weather, a pleasant trip in a motor fishing boat to discover the local fauna and the dune setting.
A good track will take you away from the coast to enter the Khaoui Nam sebkha. On a plateau, another desert of barkhans, this time ocher in color, will shelter your wild bivouac tonight, in the heart of the dunes. Unless we want to try a night under the stars?

Day 5: Khaoui Nam gueltas
Tracks or even off-piste will take you through this desert area to follow the edge of the sebkha to enjoy many remarkable views of the gorge.
The site of the gueltas is quite extraordinary and totally unexpected in the desert. The colors, the rock formations, the drop, everything is breathtaking. We will have a picnic there and have plenty of time to enjoy the exceptional places.A fast track makes it possible to make a loop by the other side of the sebkha, which does not lack natural curiosities which will require as many welcome stops.
Return to the coastal national road and quickly discover Tarfaya, the former Cap Juby of Saint-Exupéry, with its British counter in the waves, its windswept beach and its photo museum.

Day 6: sebkha Oum Dba
Bucolic day on the program today, with the discovery on foot of the natural curiosities of the right bank of the Oum Dba depression, a barbecue picnic at the foot of our small waterfall, feet in the sand or in the water, a country walk along the rû and if you wish a last 4×4 tour to the dune plateau for a well-deserved aperitif at sunset.
Last at Camp Bédouin.
