Depending on the time of arrival, this excursion begins after a leisurely lunch while loading the 4x4 with provisions and all the necessary effects for this trip that will take us through the desert of dunes. On this route we will arrive at a beautiful family hidden between the dunes where we will taste tasty typical dishes and spend the night. After enjoying the dinner, we will light a fire and dance to the rhythm of the drums and if we are lucky and the sky is clear we will be able to enjoy an impressive starry night. We recommend getting up early to enjoy a walk on the dunes and watch the sun rising over the Algerian border. You will have time to take photos before and after breakfast after which we will return to the lodge, thus completing this excursion.

Moda liked his style of life doing caravans and the easyness of life. He wanted to show this and the beauty of the desert to others who have never had the chance experience what he has. Moda began to organize tours from his familly auberge in 1997 and he has been doing it ever since. Here is a list of tours available which begin from the edge of the desert to the dunes of Erg Chebbi:
