Description
The journey into the dunes takes approximately 20-25 minutes. As riders settle into the gentle, rolling gait of their camels, they can relax and take in the breathtaking scenery of Erg Chebbi.
At the halfway point, the group stops atop a high dune for a truly magical moment. Riders dismount and climb to the dune’s crest for a panoramic view of the Sahara. This pause, lasting about 15 minutes, is perfectly timed to witness the beginning of the sunset. The fading sunlight paints the desert in a spectrum of warm hues, creating an ideal backdrop for photos and quiet contemplation.
The return journey offers a different perspective of the dunes, now bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun. This 20-25 minute ride back allows participants to reflect on their experience and soak in the peaceful atmosphere of the desert at dusk.
This concise camel ride offers a taste of the traditional Saharan experience, allowing visitors to connect with the desert in the same way travelers have for centuries, all within a convenient one-hour timeframe.
