Overview

Trade the town for the deep Sahara on an overnight 4x4 expedition from Douz to Tembaine, the mountain the Berber call "the mountain seen from afar". Two and a half hours across the dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental bring you to Tiniri Camp, where you can sandboard the soft slopes before the sun drops. Watch sunset turn the whole erg gold from the top of the dunes, then gather around a large campfire for bread baked in the hot sand, a mixed traditional dinner and a sky thick with stars. Sleep in a comfortable desert tent and wake for sunrise over the dunes before breakfast and the drive back to Douz.
