Sahara Camel Trekking
Kingdom of sand and wind, the desert is a fabulous meeting place. An unforgettable experience, its power and infinite beauty take us somewhere deep within us ,opening us to all our surroundings, whether we are just passing through or staying.
In the Sahara in southeastern Morocco, there is a village called el M’Hamid Ghizlane, which is 470km far from Marrakech.
The paved road ends here! Like the time! It is here that our caravan starts.
We borrow the bed of the Oued Draa and walk along the palm before entering the desert.
Our secret hope to reach this distant line where sky and earth merge …
The stones of the hamada cry under our feet. The sun loves us a little more from hour to hour.

We stop under a tamarisk tree planted in the middle of nowhere! Just the time to understand that one orange becomes the most precious on earth. The key is slowly replacing the superfluous, so that when we reach the sea of sand, we are ready, finally, to hear the silence …

As an echo of the starlight.
Bread, sand and hot tea, we give the second breath needed to offer our bodies to dance before sleep, friend, convince us to follow up tomorrow …

What you need to know for your Sahara Camel treks:
Here is a checklist of things you need to know and things you will need to bring or buy for the trek:
 
The Treks
• The Sahara camel treks run from October to April.
• Please allow 1 day for travel to reach the desert from the start point and 1 day to return.
• All our camel tours are full board and based on bivouac tents for two people. Tents and bedding with plenty of blankets are provided.
• Daily trekking time is approximately five or six hours with plenty of rest stops and a long break for lunch in the shade.
 
What to Wear
A long cotton scarf to wrap around your head is recommended if it is windy and the sand is blowing. You can buy a traditional Moroccan scarf for about 50-100 dirhams (depending on size) They do a great job keeping sand out of your hair, nose and eyes. It is more comfortable to wear longer pants when riding on camels. Between November and April, the desert can be very cold at night, so bring warm clothing for this time of year: sweater and jacket, hat and gloves; and in December, January and February particularly, you’ll also need warm socks, long pants and a warm coat.
 
What to bring
Make sure your bag is lightweight, tough and resistant; your main bag will be carried by camel. You will also need a smaller backpack for your daily trekking needs:

Lightweight breathable T-shirts and shirts with long sleeves (to avoid sunburn).
Lightweight pants and walking shorts.
Walking shoes or trainers with sturdy soles.
Sandals (when you’re not in the desert).
Hat to protect you from the sun.
