The roads take us 62 km off-road to Erg Chegaga. You will pass by El Bour, the old land that nomads used to cultivate wheat and barley, but not any longer because the draught and sand cover most of the flat. But it is still a good spot for nomadic families and their animals.

We arrive at Erg Chegaga camp in the afternoon. Here you will have lunch and spend the night in the Berber tent.

The off-road is 100 km of driving in the Sahara desert with varying scenery, and one of these is Lake Iriqui. It is a vast dry lake nowadays, where you likely experience the expansive mirage in the heat.
