The clear desert sky offers an incredible view of the Milky Way, with stars shining brilliantly overhead.

After dinner, gather around the campfire to enjoy traditional Berber music and storytelling. The tranquil atmosphere of the desert night, with only the crackling fire and occasional camel calls breaking the silence, creates a perfect setting for relaxation and reflection. When you’re ready, retire to your tent for a peaceful night’s sleep under the desert sky.
