Cultural and desert Tour: Preserving Heritage
Tour combines the profound beauty of Sahara with authentic insight into life and traditions of
Tuareg. As our guides and drivers are Tuaregs, could not be any more authentic. Together with them
you explore the deep connection they have with local environment. Is this possible? Surely you may
ask yourself… But we assure you to be able to feel the ‘Tuareg’ vibe all the way from ancient Ksour of
Djanet into the deepest and most primal points of Sahara Desert. Sleep under the magical stary
night, when dunes are singing their songs as wind plays with small grains of sand. Listen to the stories
of Tuareg by the bonfire and enjoy tranquil moments you share with unique Saharan environment.
Witness countless cultural encounters mixed with adventure and delicious local food. Enjoy the
camel ride over the dunes and watch the dance spectacle only available with our groups. Tuareg
women share particularly prominent position in our homes, and we invite you to join them for a
small piece of tradition they want to share with you. Nevertheless, you walk endless dunes, admire
nature’s most delicate rock carvings, and visit our traditional markets. We invite you to immerse
yourself into our Tuareg world for at least few days. At the end of the tour hopefully you see how
incredible Sahara Desert really is.
