Desert Adventure

Journey through wild and remote desert

Journey through wild and remote desert - by camel! For anyone wishing to leave the frenetic modern world behind, this is like travelling back to a different age. You'll sleep in traditional nomad tents, pass village scenes of everyday life and be part of a typical desert caravan. Local camel drivers will accompany you throughout the trek, providing good company, as you marvel at golden sand dunes and palm-fringed oases from your unique vantage point.

To the Desert's Edge
For anyone wishing to leave the frenetic modern world behind, this is like travelling back to a different age. You fly into the south-west of Morocco and enter the northern fringe of the Sahara Desert via the intensively cultivated Draa Valley. You’ll sleep in traditional nomad tents with a backdrop of sand dunes.

Camels and Camping
You’ll be part of a typical desert caravan. It’s one camel per person with additional animals to carry baggage, camping equipment and water. Your traditional nomad tents are made of dark woven material stretched over wooden props with sides that can hang down or be raised for ventilation. You sleep communally on mats and mattresses.

Ships of the Desert
After loading your camels you head out through the great palmeraie of the Draa Valley. Riding and walking, you’ll pass scenes of everyday life - villagers at wells drawing water or collecting grass and dates. You’ll be surprised by the crumbling kasbahs, deep river beds and oases set amongst shifting dunes of sand. After all this adventure you’ll finally have a chance to reflect on your journey in the vibrant city of Marrakech.
