We leave the Heights of Atlas, we tarry on the way of the green palm­grove of the Draa Valley, we reach the large flat and arid lands of the Sahara Desert and then, after 60 km, you will find the sacred oasis called CHIGAGA, the biggest range of dunes in Sahara.

There is more than our eyes can see, at sunset waves of dunes are all shades of gold generously offered by a “supernatural” nature. There the Nomad life still alive.

Summer: Hot and dry with peak temperature between 45o and 50o C.

Winter: Very mild day around 18o and 0o at night.

Rain is Scarce but it may be violent sometimes. Sandstorms are of all seasons and if you have the chance to meet Ajaj (strong sandy wind), you won’t forget it anymore.

It is common in the regions near the desert. Children are born already impregnated with the music that in the tempo of drums rises up every night to the starry heaven. The Djembe, Darbuka and other Tam­Tam accompany songs about the life of the desert and sometimes push you to dance. From an early age children are introduced to this traditional music and young people spend the greater part of their evenings over tea between conversations and songs that take a particular resonance in the canopy of heaven whose reputation is well­known.

The traditional costumes are still worn at all times. Women are wrapped in cloth Malhfa so often colourful which covers them from head to toe and all men wear a Djellaba in winter and a Gandoura in summer with the famous blue or black or white scarf which protects them from the sun, wind, sand and can have a thousand practical uses but also accentuates the mysterious charm of the man of the desert.
