Here is our 6-day trekking tour, which takes place exclusively in the dune landscapes of the Moroccan Sahara:

Our six-day trek is an amazing trip across different desert landscapes, including the huge Erg sand dunes, the rocky Hamada plains and peaceful desert oases. This kind of tour, which is almost all dunes, can only be booked from the middle of October to the beginning of April, as hiking in dunes is hotter than other parts of the Sahara, like the black desert mountains and oases.

This six-day trip will help you relax and unwind by taking you on a peaceful, solitary hike through the Sahara. You will have the chance to experience nomadic desert trekking. You will see different desert landscapes, try delicious traditional food and sleep in wild Morocco under the stars or in our tents. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure is a unique mix of hiking, camel riding and getting to know the local culture. It will take you to different dunes in the south of Morocco. As you walk, you will discover the secrets of the Sahara, experience the nomadic way of life, and enjoy a truly peaceful desert environment.

This adventure is more than just a trek. It is also a deep cultural immersion. You will have the chance to live like the nomads, learning their ancient skills—such as baking bread in the sand—and understanding how they survive in one of the harshest environments on earth. The trek is also a great way to experience the peace of the Sahara, as you sleep under the starry sky in our traditional desert camp, far from the noise and distractions of modern life. Every day, the team sets up the tents in a new, beautiful spot in the dunes.

Day 1: M’Hamid to Rass N’khal Dunes– finding our rhythm

After packing up our camels, we start our Sahara trek towards the wild desert and the big dunes of Sahara. It will not take long to become immersed in the quiet solitude of the Sahara. We will soon take a break  and enjoy our lunch in the shadow of a swaying palm tree at the end of the oasis around M’Hamid. In the afternoon, we will cross the dried-out riverbed of the Draa and walk through the palm groves. The first night is spent in Rass N’khal.

Day 5: The Majestic dunes of Erg Chigaga – swim in the Great Dunes

We keep going on our trek until we reach the impressive dunes of Erg Chegaga. These dunes are the highest in southern Morocco and are 80 and 100 metres high (Wikipedia). Climb the tallest dune for great views of the Sahara and Bani Mountains. We will put our tents up on the dunes, in places that are not often visited by tourists. This will help us to avoid any noise or disturbance to the peace and quiet.
