Camel Trekking Adventures & Bivouacs
For the ultimate desert adventure, spend several days crossing the Sahara by camel, sleeping in a different bivouac each night. This is the nomadic journey in full — slow, immersive and unforgettable.
The Multi-Day Meharee
A camel-trek adventure (meharee) of 3 to 7 days takes you deep into the Grand Erg Oriental, far beyond the reach of day trips. You ride a few hours each day, a camel caravan carries the gear, and each night you bivouac in a new spot under the stars.
A Typical Day
- Sunrise breakfast and breaking camp.
- Morning ride across the dunes with the cameleers.
- Lunch and rest in the shade during the midday heat.
- Afternoon ride to the next bivouac.
- Sunset, fire-cooked dinner, tea and stars.
Who It's For
These expeditions suit travelers who want true immersion and don't mind a rustic, unplugged few days. A reasonable level of fitness helps, but the pace is gentle and the cameleers handle everything.
