By camel, you will ride from Timbaïn through the high dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental, possibly meeting bands of nomadic Bedouin on the way.

You can watch the sunset behind the small mountain of Timbaïn, and pass wells and oases on the way to Hwidhat Errechad.

Hwidhat Errechad is a beautiful lake, and lost in the middle of the Grand Erg.

There you can bathe in the warm waters, feel the spirit of the Sahara and live as the Bedouin have for centuries.

Returning to Timbaïn, you will travel back to Douz and your hotel for an overnight stay, transferring to your departure airport in the morning.

Please note: The waters of these natural springs are untested and untreated. There may be a risk of water borne viruses.
