If there is one unmissable sight in the desert it is sunrise. Having enjoyed this tranquil moment, the tour returns to its camels, to make for a hotel where we can shower and have breakfast (depending on the type of camp, the breakfast and shower can be before the camel ride).

Through the remarkable mountainous passages of Tizi n’Tichka we will arrive at Tinghir, (an important Berber village), and finally the Dades Valley.
