This popular 2-day trip allows you to first explore one of the most beautiful natural attractions. The pink lake is well worth a visit. Very interesting to see men harvesting the salt. The 4WD drive through the sand dunes and along the Atlantic Ocean is a unique experience.
After the visit, we will proceed for a 3-hour drive to the LOMPOUL desert. The drive offers a great view of rural life. A 4WD jeep will pick us up and take us to the middle of the desert.

Enjoy a traditional African Ballet performing under the constellations.
You will also be given the opportunity to take a guided tour inside the Mosque in the holy city of TOUBA.
