New Tours

In addition to our tried and tested trekking tours with pack dromedaries – pure hiking tours where the dromedaries carry all the luggage – Akabar – Sahara Treks offers the following programme extensions:

• Trekking tours with jeep support vehicle – trekking tours in more remote areas that are not easily accessible with our team’s dromedaries. You carry a day rucksack with water and personal items, the accompanying team in the jeep awaits you at the respective camp site for lunch or afternoon tea at midday and in the evening.

• Jeep tours to more remote desert areas or for travellers who only want to go on the occasional short hike – lunch break and overnight camp at beautiful desert locations.

New route along old caravan routes:

From 28 January to 5 February 2025, eleven desert-loving hikers and the team from Akabar-Sahara-Treks successfully undertook a new route along old caravan routes into the vastness of the Sahara. The route led up into the Jebel Bani Mountains with its moonscape-like stone plains, blooming oases and gueltas (waterholes). After two days in the mountains, we travelled one day down the southern slope of the Jebel Bani Mountains to an oasis and on into the varied dune landscape – 6 days over dunes, wide sandy plains, rocket plains and along the underground Draa River. Where for years there was only drought and aridity, the Sahara now shows itself in a green dress. In our free time, we were able to swim in gueltas, collect stone treasures, admire rock paintings and listen to the many stories of the Berbers over dinner. Hafid, Lahsen (cook) and Tawda coloured the participants’ hair with henna, embellished their hands and arms with henna patterns or their eyes with khol (kohl).

Co-operations:

If you are looking for new desert experiences after a few hikes in southern Morocco, we highly recommend the Algerian trekking company “Sahara-Reise” for tours in the central Sahara in southern Algeria. The organiser Tahar Marmouri attaches just as much importance to the selection of tours and support as Hafid. https://www.sahara-reise.com/
