During the Dakar Rally, many sections are ridden. We will end our day sleeping in a riad away from the chaos.

Continuing on the Rally track we will pass through lonely villages via the oases and dunes of Ouzina.

In this stage, after having breakfast, we will ride other tracks of the Paris-Dakar Rally. We will have tea and we will see the oasis where several films have been made, such as ”Sahara.” We will visit the so-called black people’s village, because of the slave trade from Sudan, and, after eating, we will leave the 4×4s for dromedaries. This way we will enter the dunes to be able to contemplate an unforgettable sunset. This night will be special, we will sleep on the dunes in nomadic tents. Here we will have dinner with background music and admire a wonderful starry sky you have never seen. Dinner and overnight stay will be in a Jaima.

After watching the sunrise in the desert, we will return to the settlements on dromedaries. We will stop at a hotel so that you can take a shower and freshen up.
