4x4 Desert Tour: Khamlia, Nomads & Fossils

A private 4x4 loop to Gnawa Khamlia, nomad tents, dry oasis and fossil beds.

About this experience

A private 4x4 takes you off the tarmac into the wider desert beyond the dunes, where the landscape shifts from sand to black hammada and fossil-rich rock.

You drink tea with a nomad family at their goat-hair tent, hear Gnawa song in the village of Khamlia, hunt for 350-million-year-old marine fossils, and stop where the old Paris–Dakar rally crossed the open desert.
