About this experience
An impressive day on a dromedary, with plenty of unspoiled nature, otherwise inaccessible places and historical sites to marvel at and an oriental night in the Berber tent. The tour starts in Diabat and leads to the beach, through the Omar dunes and along the beach. You will stop at a for lunch at a shady area. Another few hours on the dromedary and you will be back at Diabat. From there our driver will bring you in the afternoon in our Berbercamp. The next morning you can enjoy a delicious breakfast before the return journey by car. This tour is suitable for the whole family. The dromedary is a peaceful animal and its rhythmic rocking motion is almost meditative.
