Sahara Trekking

7 Days from Mhamid, Sahara Experience

With our trekkings you leave your everyday life behind you. You dive into the fascination and beauty of the desert. You get to know the life of the Berbers and Nomads. Our guides cook for you traditional food and you sleep in small tents or under the thousands of stars.

Day 1 Mhamid - Sidi Naji

After breakfast, we take our path that leads to the meeting place to meet our new companions (dromedaries) and head towards the sand dunes of Zahar. Lunch break will be under a shady palm tree. After we enjoy a cup of tea, we hike to our first night camp. In Sidi Naji, we set up our tents near a holy place of the nomads. Dinner at the camp fire and a night under the stars.

Day 2 Sidi Naji - Erg Zahar

From Sidi Naji to Erg Zahar, we cross an area with many sand dunes. After lunch we head towards the sea of sand named Erg Zahar, our overnight place. We enjoy the sunset on one of the highest sand dunes in Morocco and look forward to a traditional dinner at the camp fire.

Day 3 Erg Zahar - Erg Essadra

After the sunrise and breakfast, we head towards the dunes of Erg Smar. The lunch break in the shade of large tamarisk trees in the middle of the Sahara strengthens us for our afternoon. We reach the very beautiful area of ErgEssadra. We set up our camp for the night and enjoy the evening under the stars.

Day 4 Erg Essadra - Erg Chegaga
