Description

This adventure is one of complete escapism. From the buzz of Marrakech to the wild open desert.  Take a Safari into the wild Moroccan Sahara. Enjoy a privately guided desert Safari, with a camel as your ride.  Sleep under the stars, live like a nomad. Meet Berber villagers and experience their traditional way of life.

What’s your next adventure going to be?

A trip to the desert is an unforgettable experience for everyone who wants to experience silence, vastness and beauty under the canopy of a thousand stars. A Sahara Safari is not only reserved for great adventurers and extreme athletes, it is suitable for everyone, including families, hiking enthusiasts and people of all ages. Depending on the type of tour and the constitution of the participants, the daily walking time is around 3-5 hours, spread over the morning and afternoon. Sleep in your own tent or under the open sky in the thousand-star hotel in the desert.

No matter how long you stay, on selected paths, far away from commercial tourism, you will experience the beauty and clarity of the Moroccan Sahara. You will hike over untouched sand dunes, through the stony black desert, tamarisk forests and repeatedly cross incredible expanses. You will get to know traditional cuisine, such as the delicious tagine, couscous and flatbread baked in the desert sand, the world-famous Berber whiskey (tea).
The trip is determined by the nomadic life and takes place far away from the usual standard places. It takes you over sand dunes through the Vallée des Gris, through tamarisk forests, over hills and through the Miharisch gorge.
There is at least one guide, one camel handler and one cook on every trip. For small groups, the guide can also be the cook.
