Trekking in the Sahara means five to six hours of walking a day, split into two stages with a long lunch break in the shade of a tamarisk. The dromedaries carry the luggage; riding is possible but optional.

You are led by a nomad team Abdoul has known for years — with their own cook, their own tents and the experience of knowing where water is and where it is not. You sleep in small tents with mattresses and blankets, and usually the last night in the desert camp with a shower.

The short version runs four days from M'hamid. The grand trek connects Marrakech, the High Atlas, three days of desert and two days on the Atlantic coast over ten days.

Frequently asked questions

How fit do I need to be?
Suitable for most people with normal fitness. Not suitable with heart conditions or other serious illnesses, and not recommended during pregnancy.
What shoes do I need?
Sturdy shoes, ideally ankle-high so sand stays out. Hiking boots are not required, but thin-soled trainers are not enough.
Where do I wash?
There is no shower during the trek — water is carried and used for drinking and cooking. Shower and toilet come at the desert camp on the last evening.
Nothing quite fits?
