Route very beautiful through all differente kind of desert: dunes, routes, old river beds, canyons. Every 10 kms the organisation gives water and sometimes also food. They are very kind, the enthusiasme is great, i ate very well (there was food also for me even if i am #vegan). They took as from and to the airport, hotels, camps, Total price was 990 euros. Unforgettable experience, don't forget to follow mandatory suggestion by the organisation! I will do it again!

Actually the distance is 144 km
