Weather

Rain is a non-factor here almost every month — the real story of the year is temperature, swinging from January's cooler stretch to July's peak heat. In November, expect highs around 23°C with rain on roughly 4 days of the month.

Things to Do

Camel trek into the dunes and camp under clear night skies.

Local Cuisine

Try Berber pizza (medfouna), a stuffed flatbread cooked in hot sand, a desert-camp specialty.
