Highlights

Day 1: Marrakech - Ait Ben Haddou - Mhamid

Start your journey early in the morning from your riad or hotel in Marrakech, traveling through the High Atlas Mountains via the Tichka Pass (2260 m), the highest road pass in Morocco. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains and valleys, winding roads, stunning landscapes with varied colors, and Berber villages along the route. Visit several kasbahs, including Tamnougalte and Ait Benhaddou, a 16th-century UNESCO site and one of the best-preserved and most spectacular kasbahs in Morocco, often used as a location for Hollywood films. Continue through the palm-lined Draa River Valley, arriving in Zagora, the capital of dates. Proceed to the gateway of the Sahara Desert, Mhamid with Khalil. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay in a nomadic standard camp.

Day 2: Trek from Mhamid to Sidi Naji

After breakfast at the camp, set off on foot from Mhamid, accompanied by a guide and a camel caravan. Hike through the Sahara Desert towards the Palm Grove. Tea and lunch will be served in the shade of Tamaris trees. After a rest, continue to the sanctuary of Sidi Naji, a place rich in history and local customs, where oral tradition says a marabout lived 18 generations ago. Set up camp at the foot of the sand dunes for the night.

Day 3: Trek from Sidi Naji to Hananich to Mhamid

As the sun rises, break down the tents and head towards a place called “Hananesh” across rocky plateaus. Lunch will be near a Tamaris tree. In the late afternoon, return to Mhamid for your final night.

Day 4: Mhamid to Marrakech

After a Moroccan breakfast, a car will take you back to your riad in Marrakech, leaving you with beautiful memories.

camel trekking in South of Morocco - We asked for a trekking program in the southern Moroccan desert. DesertBrise Travel has concocted a magnificent program with excellent service. We were taken care of in Marrakech at our Riad, a day's drive to Mhamid with pludierus stop including one in a restaurant with delicious multiole dishes in a fabulous setting. In Mhamid an efficient, friendly and professional team awaited us. Our youngest son of 8 years old, as well as one of his 12 year olds loved their days on the back of a dromedary (which you can ride if you don't want to walk). The meals were delicious (tagine, couscous, sand bread ...) a king's menu in the desert. Camel driver, cook and guide were adorable. Only positive and only one desire, leave with DesertBrise Travel. THANKS

Lovely experience - We spent four days in decembre with DesertBrise Travel. We had the feeling of being received like kings; We had very lovely meetings: Ali, who made us laugh, pampered us, took care of us and with whom we were able to discuss so many things Khalil, who led us throughout this adventure with a lot of care and attention. We will keep an exceptional memory of this adventure, camel trekking, chigaga dunes, Lake Iriqui, naps at the oasis, bivouacs, sunsets, incredible tagines from Ali… All the employees of this company are admirable and adorable. Truly an excursion of excellent quality and excellent value for money.

Amazing 4 days trek with Nomads - With my friend Kia, we booked 4 days trek " (4 days in the desert M'Hamid) in late March and turned transformed from this experience. The meet with our guide and our camel men, the moments of sharing, discovery, caring, and kindness that we experienced together in this trip marked me for life. I will always remember these enchanting landscapes, the feeling of happiness and freedom. these moments of sharing. The hospitality of the Nomads is embedded in the depths of my heart. I am happy to have left with DesertBrise Travel, a warm and very organized agency, which offers an authentic Nomadic experience (meals made with camel drivers, firewood collection) while taking care of us, before departure and once we are there. And as a gift, the music group was great and we made friendly trekking with whom we plan to leave!

Morocco desert trekking with nomads - It is difficult to write a representative review of what we experienced with Desertbrise Travel . This trip was a great experience both culturally and humanly, with amazing landscapes. Said, Ahmad , ali, khalil and the 6 other people in our group made me live an adventure filled with laughter ,joy, discovery, sharing and kindness. As Khalil said just before we went on a trek, the desert, it does not tell, it lives!
