Cultural immersion in the Moroccan desert

Itinerary · 6 days

Step into the magic of the Sahara. Each day reveals a different landscape, as if the desert were staging a permanent show.

Day 1 · Arrival in M'hamid & entering the desert

Your adventure begins in M'hamid, the last oasis before the vast Sahara. After meeting the nomadic team, you drive by 4x4 towards the first dunes. At day's end, set up the first bivouac, traditional dinner around the fire and a night under an exceptionally clear sky.

Day 2 · Walk to Laawaina Lkhaila

At sunrise the desert turns ochre and gold. Walk on foot or with camels through winding dunes, mineral plateaus and small oases. Lunch in the shade, then an afternoon walk before setting camp and a shared dinner.

Day 3 · Sand sea & Erg Lhaj Ahmed

Dive into one of the Sahara's largest dune systems. Arrival at Erg Lhaj Ahmed: immense dunes, absolute silence, a feeling of total freedom. In the evening, discover sand-bread preparation, a nomadic tradition, then a night under the stars.

Day 4 · From Ahmed's dunes to the great dunes of Lghoul

Alternating dunes, stone expanses and ancient dry riverbeds. Late afternoon, climb a dune summit to watch a spectacular sunset over the Bani range. Evening around the fire, lulled by the desert's gentleness.

Day 5 · Oued Lmhasser & return to M'hamid

Last morning walk in the heart of Oued Lmhasser. Pause by a traditional well, then gradual return to M'hamid by 4x4 in early afternoon. End of the trek and farewells to the nomadic team.

Day 6 · Erg Anassoufa → M'hamid

After breakfast, final crossing of the desert expanses by 4x4. Return to M'hamid where your Saharan adventure ends, with vivid memories of a timeless journey.
