The Sahara has a remarkable power. It lies in its vastness, its silence, the raw beauty of its landscapes, and the simple rhythm of life shaped by the sun and wind. It is difficult to describe, yet easy to feel after spending a few days in the desert, far away from the rush of everyday life and everything that usually occupies our minds.
This is exactly the power we are setting out to find.
Join us for eight days of adventure through some of the most fascinating natural areas of the Moroccan Sahara. We will cross sandy dunes, vast desert plains, the dry bed of an ancient lake, and rugged rocky landscapes. We will visit places without roads or permanent settlements, where the landscape has been shaped for centuries by wind, water, and sunshine.
Part of the journey will be on foot, accompanied by a camel caravan, while other sections will be travelled in 4×4 vehicles. We will spend our nights in both the comfortable Desert Camp Chraika and remote wild camps beneath the stars. Along the way, we will discover the Sahara’s wildlife, extraordinary landscapes, and the people who call this desert home.
This expedition is for those who love being on the move, discovering places beyond the usual tourist trails, and embracing a few days of simple, nomadic living. For those who want to walk for hours, immerse themselves in wide-open spaces, reconnect with nature, and return home with renewed energy.
What awaits us?
- Sidi Naji, Erg Zahar, and Erg Sadra – a trek through three extraordinary desert areas, each with its own distinctive landscape and character.
- Iriki National Park – vast plains, ancient lake beds, and the rugged natural beauty of the southern Sahara.
- The Sahara’s Own Colorado – spectacular rock formations, desert mountains, and oases around Foum Zguid.
- Trekking with a camel caravan – three days of walking with local guides while camels carry our equipment and supplies.
- Desert nights – from comfortable accommodation at Desert Camp Chraika to wild camping beneath the stars.
- Saharan hospitality – shared meals, Moroccan mint tea, evenings around the campfire, and encounters with people who know the desert as their home.
- The power of the desert – vast open spaces, silence, movement in the fresh air, and a few days of living in nature’s rhythm, away from everyday distractions.
How will we travel?
This expedition combines a road journey through southern Morocco, a multi-day trek across the Sahara, and a 4×4 safari through the remote landscapes of Iriki National Park.
For three days, we will travel on foot while camels carry our luggage and camping equipment. Each participant needs only a small daypack with the essentials required throughout the day.
We set off after breakfast and take a longer break around midday for lunch and rest. In the afternoon, we reach our campsite, where our support team prepares meals and organises the camp.
Wild campsites have no bathrooms, showers, or electricity. We sleep in tents or under the open sky, on sleeping mats, using our own sleeping bags.
This is not a technical trek, but walking on sand requires effort. Daily distances and pace will be adjusted to the group’s abilities and weather conditions.
Who is this expedition for?
This journey is designed for people who enjoy active travel, long walks, and close contact with nature.
You do not need previous desert trekking experience, but you should be prepared for several hours of walking each day, uneven terrain, and basic camping conditions.
It is also an invitation for anyone who feels they need a little more space in their life.
We do not organise workshops, personal development sessions, or special practices. The desert itself offers everything we need: movement, silence, contact with nature, simple daily activities, and TIME.
We will be accompanied by local guides who have known the Sahara since childhood and will take us to places that are difficult to reach independently.
