Morocco
Experience the Sahara with Nomads
September 10th to 17rd, 2025
About the trip
Join me for an unforgettable trekking adventure, walking side by side with desert nomads in the heart of the Sahara. More than just a journey, this is a chance to step into their world, where the rhythm of life follows the sun, and wisdom is passed down through generations.
With each step, you’ll learn from them: how to navigate the dunes, read the desert’s secrets, and embrace the simplicity of a life in harmony with nature. Evenings will be spent under a blanket of stars, sharing stories around the fire, as the silence of the Sahara reveals its magic.
This trek is open to a small group of 5 to 6 people max, ensuring an intimate and authentic experience.

First Steps into the Desert & Erg Zahar
After breakfast, we begin our desert adventure on foot. At sunrise, we walk through dunes dotted with old tamarisk trees, gradually reaching open terrain and a vast dried-up lake. From there, we arrive at the spectacular Erg Zahar, also known as the Howling or Screaming Dunes. These dunes are famous for their unique shapes, colors, and natural sounds, creating a powerful sense of infinity and connection with the desert. Dinner and overnight in the Sahara bivouac, in a tent or under the stars.
Crossing the Drâa Valley & Nomadic Lands
Today, we cross the Drâa Valley to its eastern bank, passing ancient dried trees and wide open landscapes.
We continue toward Lbour, a rural area once used as nomadic farmland and grazing land for camel herds. We stop to give water to the camels and rest under a quiet tamarisk tree.
In the late afternoon, we resume walking through white dunes with mountain views, discovering a completely new desert atmosphere.
Later, we visit local nomads, share tea, and learn about their way of life. Overnight under the stars.
