6 Hours Quad Tour – Nomads, Mines & Black Desert
Leave the sand for the black desert and the old mines.
About This Tour
This ride shows a different side of the Sahara. Beyond the golden dunes lies the black desert – wide plains covered in dark volcanic stones – with old mining sites and nomad camps scattered across it.
You’ll visit the old Mifis lead mines, meet a nomad family and ride back over the dunes of Erg Chebbi.
