Trekking in the Sahara Desert

Sahara Desert trekking in Morocco is not just a physical journey—it’s a deep dive into the silence, scale, and soul of the world’s most iconic desert. Over 3 to 7 days (or more), you’ll walk through dramatic dunes, fossil-laden plateaus, ancient riverbeds, and endless open skies far removed from tourist routes.

Led by experienced Berber guides and supported by camels, this is slow travel at its purest. Each trek includes traditional meals, wild camping, and real encounters with Morocco’s nomadic desert culture.

Where You'll Trek

• 🏜️ Erg Chigaga – The largest dune field in Morocco, with dunes up to 300 feet tall and stunning sunrise/sunset views.

• 🌬️ Erg Zahar (The Screaming Dunes) – A remote, wind-sculpted landscape that produces eerie humming sounds as sand moves.

• 🦴 Erg Sedrar – Isolated and rocky terrain known for prehistoric fossils and dramatic desert backdrops.

• 🐪 Iriqui National Park – A protected zone with salt flats, desert flora, wildlife, and occasional nomadic families.

What to Expect

• 🌌 Wild Camping – Sleep under stars or in traditional tents set up by your team

• 🥘 Traditional Meals – Sand-baked bread, couscous, fresh tagines, and local produce
