Experience the Magic of the Moroccan Desert on a 5-Day Trek from Marrakech

Embark on an extraordinary journey through the vast dunes of southern Morocco with our expert nomadic guides and skilled camel drivers. As you traverse the desert landscape, a camel caravan will carry your luggage, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of the Sahara.

During this trek, you’ll experience the awe-inspiring expanses of the desert, encounter nomadic communities, and marvel at the diverse animal and plant life that thrive in this harsh yet enchanting environment. Find solace and serenity as you leave behind the noise of civilization, embracing the tranquility of the desert and basking in the splendor of unforgettable sunrises and sunsets.

Living in harmony with the rhythm of nature, you’ll journey at your own pace, accompanied by our experienced camel drivers. Before each leg of the journey, the camel caravan will be assembled, provisions will be gathered, and traditional sand bread will be baked in the desert sands.

As night falls, you’ll sleep under a blanket of stars, sheltered by comfortable tents. Delight in the flavors of authentic Moroccan cuisine prepared by our skilled camel drivers, and take regular breaks to savor the beauty of your surroundings, refresh yourself, and revel in the tranquility of the desert.

Our treks are available from mid-September to mid-May, when the moderate temperatures ensure a pleasant experience for camel trekking. We cater to groups of 2 or more participants and offer flexibility in scheduling, allowing you to choose the dates that suit you best.

Embark on this unforgettable adventure and discover the unparalleled beauty and tranquility of the Moroccan Sahara.

Departing early from your accommodation in Marrakech, venture through the High Atlas Mountains via the Tichka Pass, the highest road pass in Morocco, treating you to panoramic views of valleys, Berber villages, and striking landscapes. En route, explore renowned kasbahs such as Tamnougalte and the UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou, a picturesque 16th-century site favored by Hollywood. Continue through the palm-lined Draa river valley to Zagora, the date capital, before arriving at Mhamid, the gateway to the Sahara. Enjoy dinner and overnight camping in a Nomadic standard camp.

Embark on an unforgettable desert adventure departing from M’hamid around 9 am. Accompanied by your knowledgeable guide and trusty camels, begin your journey towards the captivating Dune Douib. Your first stop for lunch will be nestled in the cool shade of the palm trees. Energized and refreshed, continue your trek for about two hours until you reach Elbour, where you’ll set up camp amidst the enchanting scenery of palm and tamarisk trees, soaking in the breathtaking sunset views.

Awaken to a serene desert morning and enjoy a hearty breakfast amidst the tranquil surroundings. After breaking camp, load up your camels for another day of exploration. Journey towards Wad Naam, where you’ll pause for a picnic at noon before pressing on towards the bivouac near the magnificent dunes of Erg Bertham. As evening descends, assist in setting up camp or opt for a leisurely camel ride as the camels are relieved of their burdens, allowing you to savor the tranquility of the desert night.

Bid farewell to the serene Bertham dunes as you embark on the return journey. Traverse the desert landscape for approximately two hours until reaching Mezouaria, where a delightful lunch awaits near the picturesque small dunes. Following a leisurely meal, continue your journey back to M’hamid, where the comfort of the fixed bivouac awaits. Indulge in a well-deserved shower and rest before relishing in a delicious evening meal and enjoying convivial company under the starlit desert sky, culminating in a restful overnight stay in the cozy tents of the bivouac.

 Begin the journey back to Marrakech, retracing your steps through the Atlas Mountains, with an anticipated late afternoon arrival at your Marrakech accommodation.

    I am 6 feet tall and 220 lbs. This shirt fit me perfectly in the chest and shoulders. My only complaint is that it is so long! I like to wear polo shirts untucked. This shirt goes completely past my rear end. If I wore it with ordinary shorts, you probably wouldnt be able to see the shorts at all – completely hidden by the shirt. It needs to be 4 to 5 inches shorter in terms of length to suit me. I have many RL polo shirts, and this one is by far the longest. I dont understand why.

    The shirt was not the fabric I believed it to be. It says Classic Fit but was made like the older versions, not the soft cotton like my others. I don’t understand how the labels are the same but a completely different shirt. Oh well, stuck with it now.
