Sahara Desert trek

What to expect?

Embark on an unforgettable journey across one of the world’s most iconic landscapes on this extraordinary Sahara Desert trek. Your adventure begins in the vibrant city of Marrakech before you venture into the heart of the Moroccan wilderness, crossing the majestic Atlas Mountains and following ancient caravan routes into the vast, arid expanse of the Sahara.

Over two full and two half days, you’ll trek through rolling sand dunes, dramatic rocky plateaus and lunar like terrain, supported by a friendly local Berber team and their trusty camels. Each evening, you'll camp under the endless Saharan sky, experiencing the peace and wonder of desert life far from the distractions of modern living.

Along the way, you'll gain insight into the traditional nomadic lifestyle, from campfire cooking to stargazing beneath some of the clearest night skies on Earth. The physical challenge of walking up to 20km a day is matched only by the breath-taking beauty of your surroundings and the sense of achievement you’ll feel at the journey’s end.

After returning to Marrakech, there’s time to explore its bustling souks and winding alleys before heading home, tired but exhilarated, and with memories that will last a lifetime.

This is an Open Challenge which means that you will be joined by fellow travellers who may be supporting other charities and making a difference to many.
