You celebrate the turn of the year in the middle of the Sahara without fireworks, under a clear starry sky. This desert trip for New Year's Eve mixes sandy tracks and dune fields with wild camping nights, accompanied by the experienced Overcross guide in a 4x4 convoy.

You cross the salt lake Chott el Djerid – depending on the conditions via the northern or southern route – before you reach Douz, the gateway to the Sahara.
Here you stock up on supplies, check your vehicle, and prepare for several days away from civilization.
