M’Hamid · Erg Zahar · Erg Smar · Erg Chigaga
Explore desert treks
Our desert walks begin in M’Hamid El Ghizlane, with transfers from Marrakech, Ouarzazate or Agadir. The trekking territory stretches towards Foum Zguid, taking in Erg Smar, Erg Zahar, Erg Chigaga and other areas according to the itinerary. High dunes are only part of the journey: tamarisk trees, stony plains and changing camp locations give each route its own character.

Azzaden · Toubkal · M’Goun · Saghro
Explore mountain treks
In the mountains, we organize routes around Toubkal, M’Goun, Ouanoukrim, Sirwa, Ayachi, Tidirhine and Saghro. There are also gentler walking holidays in the Azzaden Valley and lower High Atlas foothills, with roughly three to four hours on foot each day and comfortable village guesthouses. Mules provide luggage support; nights may be in tents, guesthouses or refuges, as the programme specifies.
Our roots. Our way of trekking.
Trekking provides our team’s livelihood. We also want it to stay connected to the people, cultures and landscapes that make each journey possible.
Rooted in nomadic life
Our desert knowledge comes from our own nomadic life: moving with the seasons and understanding water, grazing and places to camp.
Local knowledge, shared on foot
Guides, camel handlers and cooks accompany our Sahara caravans. In the mountains, guides and mule handlers bring their knowledge of the terrain. Their work is part of the journey.
Respect for our home ground
Deserts and mountains are living places, not simply scenery. Our commitment begins with respect for water, campsites and the animals that support the walk.
Connections with communities
From Sahara nomadic communities to Amazigh villages in the Atlas, we want to share the land with the people who live there. Trekking creates work for the teams and, where included, village accommodation.
Your group, your pace
Private trek
Travel from one person. We adapt the route and pace around your experience, children and available days.
Plan my trekShared departure
Join a scheduled date. Shared departures need at least two participants to run; groups are limited to fifteen people.
See shared departuresThe right trek starts with the right questions
We help you choose by asking about rough-ground experience, stamina over consecutive days and previous altitude exposure. Easy desert stages may involve two to four hours of walking; demanding days can take six to seven. A summit trek makes different demands from a lower valley walk, so the daily itinerary matters more than the trip’s name or total length.
Plan your journey
