Today we will take a dune "hike" by 4×4 around the Erg Chebbi dunes, a populated desert region of sand. You'll learn how and where nomadic families live in this area.  We will stop in Khamelia, a village where the inhabitants are mostly from Mali and Senega - the Gnawa. We will enjoy together their famous Gnawa music with a local delicious glass of tea, and learn more about their culture and ancient traditions. Afterwards we will continue to Mefiss, a place where Berbers have been extracting eyeliner coal from the mountains for many years, but where French army also lived during the colonial period. At noon we will visit a local restaurant specializing in Berber pizza.

If you are interested in German art, we will make a detour to the imposing monuments of the German artist Hannsjörg Voth, built in an incredibly wide plain during a twenty-year construction period at the end of the last century.
