About the Sahara Desert Trek

Experience the beauty of one of the most breathtaking and largest deserts in the world - the Sahara! The challenge is to trek for three days through this ever-changing landscape and to climb to the top of the massive Chigaga Dunes. Here you will witness the desert sun-rise. The days will be hot, and the trekking will be tough. However, the rewards of conquering this desert and having the High Atlas Mountains as your backdrop will be worth it!

With traditional Berbers as your guides, you will experience the delights of Morocco first hand. You will also be mesmerised by the remoteness and solitude that the Sahara brings.
