Day 1: M’hamid Village

Marrakech - The first day of the 4-day desert trek consists of a morning departure from Marrakech, Agadir or Ouarzazate, with transport by private vehicle, to reach the village of Mhamid, located at the edge of the desert. A break is possible in a village in the Atlas, with a visit to Ait Ben Haddou which is near Ouarzazate. Ait Ben Haddou is a Ksar classified as a UNESCO heritage site. In the evening, it is planned to spend the night either with locals in the village, or in a comfortable fixed bivouac, in the heart of the palm grove.

M’Hamid

M’Hamid - The second day begins with a departure on foot from the fixed bivouac, accompanied by the Morocco Desert Trek team and the camel caravan. We then begin a hike in the Sahara desert towards the M’hamid Palmeraie, where we have tea and lunch in the shade of a tamarisk tree. After a break to rest, we continue our way towards the sanctuary of Sidi Naji. Oral tradition reports that this marabout lived 18 grandfathers ago! This place is filled with fascinating local stories and customs. In the evening, we set up camp at the foot of the sand dunes and spent the night in the desert under tents or under the stars.

Day 3: Erg Zahar

M’Hamid - The bivouac folds to the rhythm of the sun, we begin our departure through the dunes, then a vast dry lake to reach the superb dunes of Erg Zahar, also known as the “howling dunes”. We spend the night in the Sahara desert in tents or under the stars.

Day 4: Marrakech

Marrakech - At the end of the evening, we return to M’hamid before heading to Marrakech, Agadir or Ouarzazate.

The next morning, we find our 4X4 to take us to our fixed bivouac, crossing the magnificent landscapes of the Drâa Valley. After lunch at the bivouac, we return to Marrakech, Agadir or Ouarzazate
