🔵🟠 Experience Flow

➡️ Stop 1: Starting the Hike: Chenini

Your journey begins in Chenini, a village perched on a cliff, known for its troglodytic houses and the historic Mosque of the Seven Sleepers. As you leave Chenini, you'll follow a narrow, time-worn path that has connected these two villages for centuries.

➡️ Stop 2: On the Trail

The hike from Chenini to Douiret is moderately challenging, with a well-marked trail that meanders through the stunning desert landscape. As you walk, you'll pass through a region rich in olive groves, with ancient trees like the famous Zaytouna Akarit, which stands as a testament to the area's long history.

About halfway through your journey, you'll come across Ain El-Karma, a natural spring that provides a refreshing stop. This is the perfect spot to take a break, rehydrate, and enjoy the tranquillity of your surroundings.

➡️ Stop 3: Approaching Douiret

As you continue your hike, the landscape begins to change, with the white mosque of Douiret gradually coming into view. The final stretch of the trail offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, making the effort of the hike well worth it.

➡️ Stop 4: Return to Chenini

Retrace your footsteps with your guide, reliving the landscape’s shifting light and rediscovering favorite vista spots along the way.

Chenini to Douiret, a beautiful end to the hike

Near the end of our Dahar hike we did a hike from Chenini to Douiret, followed by a night at Gite Douiret in an amazing ancient village. Omar handled all the logistics and guiding superbly.
