We invite you to discover the Sahara by taking you to the southwest of Zagora, beyond the last foothills of Djebal Bani. During the trek, we travel through the Mhasser Canyon with its dazzling mineral decor.

Then the circuit will take you hiking through the magnificent dunes of Erg Chegaga. Throughout the course, you are accompanied by a native team and a guide to natural areas.

Your bags are transported by camels from one bivouac to another. In the evening, we set up nomadic camps before arriving in a comfortable fixed bivouac in the heart of the big dunes for the last night under the stars of the Moroccan desert...

At a rate of approximately 6 hours of moderate daily walking, this stay is ideal for beginners or occasional walkers curious to live an experience of sharing and discovery.

Meals consist mostly of fresh, local products and traditional cuisine.
