DAY 1: DEPARTMENT FROM ZGUID FOUM VISIT THE STONE
In this area of the Foum zguid Sahara, life clings to the smallest boundaries but still has some traces of prehistoric times.
Foum Zguid is the gateway to the Sahara of Lake Iriki and the Chegaga Sahara. Lake Iriki Desert has many rock carving sites that are definitely worth a visit. It reflects the way of life of the nomads and provides rich information about previous generations and the lives of past nomads. We will start our lap at 9:00 am from Foum Zguid and driving south we will cross the Elmadouar mountains (mountain of tagine) to reach the old track of Dakar Rally. Then we turn left in this direction towards the tirikit. After arriving at lmagsam, we will have a 30-minute break to visit the rock sculptures in Sahara on Lake Iriki.
This prehistoric heritage will give you a first impression of the life of the Saharan nomads in pre-literary history.
We will continue through the Dakar Rally to Fossils where we will have our second stop. We will then cross the dried up Iriki Lake to Bivouac les Nomades - an authentic campsite in the middle of the desert dunes of Lake Iriki Sahara.
The night you will stay in this desert camp near the largest sand dune of Lake Iriki called Erg Elmhazil.
You will have your own tent, toilet, shower and restaurant. Before sunset, you will ride a camel to the big dune to watch the sunset from the top of the big dune.
You will appreciate the traditional food and music of the nomads around the bonfire. In the morning after breakfast we will return to Foulzguid.
