3rd - 4th day GHADAMES
Days entirely dedicated to Ghadames, where Arabs, Tuaregs and Berbers live in harmony. The visit to the ancient city is a journey through time, which seems to have stopped here: human genius was able to build a city in the desert that seems underground. Dark tunnels, covered squares, covered streets protected the inhabitants from the fiery heat of the Sahara. On the upper floor the terraces formed the city of women...The houses are extraordinarily decorated inside as well as bare and simple on the outside.
A tea in the desert on the sand dunes, and a lunch in a traditional house, will complete the two days. Full board and overnight stay in hotel.
