This is a commiting camel trek for experienced walkers
and campers. Everyone has their own camel so can chose to walk or
ride. Most people will chose a mix and will, for example, walk for
an hour, then ride for an hour.
This is a wonderful desertl trek experience if you
are comfortable camping. We are completely alone and isolated
for most of the time. Mobile phones don't work either.

have become my personal friends. They are extremely welcoming and
gentle with all travellers. They know the desert like the back of
their hand and are happy to share their expertise at living off
the land. They speak Arabic, and some French and will be delighted
to teach you Arabic.
