Here, you will know the deep meaning of life that money can’t buy happiness.

Furthermore, after setting and having mint tea with the nomads, we will drive 30 minutes toward the Kohl or Eyeliner Mines, that was exploited by the Frensh people during the Frensh civilization in Morocco, also the mineral that they took in this place called the Kohl that is traditionally a cosmetic product, used more by Amazigh (Berber) women thanks to its perceived benefits, such as protecting the eyes from the sunshine, reducing glare, and preventing eye infections, and the Kohl is made from a combination of powdered stibnite or galena (a type of lead ore), charcoal, and other ingredients.

Moreover, passing by the road where was the Paris Dakar, we reach Khamlia village, a small village located at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, the majority of its inhabitants are originally from sub-Saharan countries such as Mali, Gabon, Niger, and Sudan.

Here, you’ll see their live performances of the Gnawa music making special dancing accompanied by different instruments like Drums, African Djembe, Hajhouj that look like guitar, and castanets.

In addition, continue to visit the beautiful Hassi Labied Oasis known for the lush palm trees and the Oasis was divided into 50 parts, and every family owns a part using it for agriculture, growing vegetables such as carrots, onion, potatoes, garlic, and most importantly dates, also, you’ll have the opportunity to see how the water comes in canals to the oases by the Khittara system that is considered one of the oldest methods of water management and irrigation in the world. This amazing system has played an important role in the development of agriculture in Hassi Labied.
