Tour Description
Explore The Desert: 3-Day, 2-Night Journey From Foum Zguid To Lake Iriki And Sidi Abdenbi
Embark on an unforgettable adventure starting from Foum Zguid as you traverse the diverse landscapes of the desert. Departing in the morning, you'll follow unique trails leading to Lake Iriki. Once a thriving habitat for a variety of wildlife, including gazelles, ducks, gulls, and flamingos, the lake has transformed into a vast, arid expanse, devoid of much vegetation and shade.
However, this tour promises more than just the stark scenery. You'll have the opportunity to explore a nomadic school and stay overnight in a guest house within a nomadic village, immersing yourself in the local culture.
