Camel trekking in In dune landscapes of the Sahara
On our traditional caravan tours, you hike with the Akabar-Sahara Treks team – nomads and their dromedaries – through the varied dune landscape in the south of Morocco. Hiking to the rhythm of the caravan, you will enjoy the silence, forget everyday life and experience the timelessness of the desert.
Hafid Benyachou will plan your desired tour with you, taking into account your preferences, such as spending a longer part of the tour in the dunes, visiting nomadic families or your fitness level. The Akabar – Sahara Treks team offers long tours from 6 to 15 days for optimal relaxation. Hafid and his team are not only your guides, but also show you the flora and fauna of the Sahara and let you participate in the culture of the Berber nomads with their numerous stories.
Let yourself be inspired, get involved in the unknown!
















Hikes in the varied rock and stone desert of Jebel Bani:
You hike along old caravan routes or shepherds’ paths across the high plateau of Jebel Bani with its gorges, oases with water basins and springs, palm trees and oleander bushes, over rock slabs and gravel plains, discover old settlements and admire rock paintings. Time and again you will encounter nomadic families with their herds. (The following research report is available on the rock paintings: https://www.academia.edu/2459577/Rock_Art_and_Archaeology_in_Ifran-n-Taska_Eastern_Jebel_Bani_Morocco_First_Results_of_the_Moroccan-Italian_Research_Project )















It is advisable to spend a day or two in Zagora after a trek. This will give you time to reflect on your desert experiences, relax in a hammam, visit the authentic market (Wednesdays and Sundays) and browse the many shops (Amezrou and Zagora).
