Camel Trekking in the Great Sand Sea
This route leads us on a path of the
old road of the caravans which in the past left from the
Mediterranean Sea to Sudan while passing through Siwa
and Farafra.

of our local partner, where all the camels are. Almost
all the foodstuffs comes from the organic farming what
