Sahara Desert Trek

Pass through Morocco's incredible landscapes

This five day trek covers 100km, punctuated by peaks, gorges, dunes and oases. At night, sleep under Africa's star strewn skies and enjoy traditional Berber hospitality. This challenge goes beyond the Jebel Saghro region, starting on the Maider El Kbir plateau, before ascending Jebel El Mrakib, and admiring the stunning views. Walking through palm gorges, the route joins the dry Rhris River and heads towards an oasis of tamarisk trees. The final days are spent trekking along the Tikertouachene River, before celebrating a successful end to the challenge in Ouarzazate. This trek is challenging, unforgiving, and life-changing. Dates
