Highlights
  • Zagora Province - At 9 o’clock in the morning, we meet at the bivouac to get to know each other and organize the loading of the camels. When everything is ready, the caravan sets off for this first day of trekking. About 5 hours of walking per day (20 km), a good lunch break to eat and rest. In the evening, the guide and the cook set up camp for the night and prepare a substantial meal for us. During 3 days, our journey takes us through varied landscapes and terrains. Walking in these large open spaces, the simplicity of life in a bivouac, immersion in nature and the silence of the desert are an experience often described as deeply refreshing. On the evening of the 3rd day, we arrive at the magnificent site of the large dunes of Chegaga where we can climb to admire the sunset.
    The next day, the 4x4 picks us up for the return trip. In 3 hours, we make the route of our three days of walking in the opposite direction and discover the landscape in a different way. At the bivouac a hot shower and a last midday meal await us.
    End of stay, goodbye and thank you all.

Additional Information

A journey through the desert is often considered a transformative, calming experience for many explorers. They get the chance to step outside of their comfort zones with a sense of pride and satisfaction from the physicality of the experience. They uncover the hospitality and skills of the nomadic people, become enchanted with the beautiful vistas, and are intrigued by the vastness of the desert wilderness. Often, it is not just an outward trip, but also an inward one. We are particularly attuned to this, since the desert is the legacy of our forebears, and it forms a part of who we are. Our camp is not just a rest stop for travelers, it’s a hub for communal living and work. Our team is eager to share their knowledge, experience, and love for their homeland with you. Finally, we value the uniqueness of each traveler or group, and we are flexible in adapting to your pace and preferences.

  • In general, not recommended for those who have difficulty walking.

To do once in your life - My trek in the Moroccan desert with my 4 teenagers was an unforgettable experience, marked by the kindness, the warm welcome and the remarkable professionalism of Moubarak, Hassan, Brahim and the entire team. The 4 days with the 5 camels created precious memories, especially the magical evenings by the fire, with a guitar under the stars. The delicious meals cooked by Hassan added a special flavor to our adventure. Grateful to the whole team for making this trek unique, an exceptional immersion with my children.

Incredible stay! - We spent 2 days and one night in the desert via Sahara Peace. We are extremely happy with our experience! The welcome from Moubarak and Pascale was great, the food typical and delicious and the accommodation comfortable. Our guides (Ali and Hatman) were extremely kind. Thank you to our hosts and our guides for this magical moment that we will not soon forget ✨

Unforgettable experience - Superb experience with Mubarak and Pascale. I stayed with them for two days with my children and it was incredible. Warm welcome, impeccable accommodation and extraordinary site in the middle of the desert. We did a day trip on camel backs and the experience was magnificent. If you are looking for a peaceful corner fully immersed in Moroccan culture, this is the place to go.

A unique experience! - 3 day trek with a friend. A unique and unforgettable experience. We were very well received at the bivouac for the first and last night. A very beautiful place! During the trek we felt safe and in a caring environment. Our 2 guides were very friendly! In moments of discussion, music and also silence, a very nice dynamic developed between the 4 of us. We were also treated to delicious dishes. Another big thank you to them!

A week in the desert - A week at a permanent bivouac in the desert including 3 days of trekking with night under the "beautiful stars". Ah the silence of the desert, an experience to live. A return to our original nature accompanied by a wonderful team in all simplicity. Without forgetting the delicious tagines among other things. Thank you again for your welcome. Dominic

A timeless parenthesis - Great discovery of the Sahara Peace fixed bivouac where I slept the first night, before starting a 5-day trek in the Moroccan desert. Great welcome from Pascale and the men of the desert, all in friendliness and sharing. Top organization and tasty meals. A timeless break that allowed me to reconnect with the essentials.

Wonder! - It was a unique experience that we had. The welcome is warm, the departure into the desert with the camels is moving. The guides are attentive and very experienced. They have Berber GPS! Walk in the morning and late afternoon. They cook Tagine, Berber omelette, soup in the middle of the desert around mint tea! The bivouac consists of small mattresses and blankets on the large mat. Everyone brings their own sleeping bag. There is the Berber fire of course under the celestial vault! Exceptional experience for discovering the desert of sands, dunes and desert of red-brown stones. I recommend to everyone. It is not a sporty walk but a contemplative one, accompanied by camels. Go for it! Take the plunge, you will come back different.

sahara peace - Had an amazing stay at bivouac sahara peace, thank you Moubarak. Its a remote and magical place. We stayed 1 night at the Bivouac before doing a trek with overnight camping in the desert with Atman. Atman is a quiet but really nice guy who took good care of us.Atman is responsible for the camels, which he took really good care of. After our day and night with Atman, Moubarak picked us up in his 4x4 to go to Erg Chigaga, we stayed in a nice glamping. I can’t recommend this place enough its a must see. Moubarak is a fair guy and the prices for everything we did are really fair, very good service and everything was included. After Erg chigaga Moubarak dropped us off again at the shared taxi. When we came to his place he had even arranged a shared taxi that picked us up at out hotel in Ouarzazate. I would come here again! Thank you Moubarak and the team!

A wonderful experience we would definitely recommend and book again. - Super nice tour that shows you the real Sahara experience. The guide is very involved with the locals and introduced us to local cooperatives. The guide communicates very fluently in French and English, drove us from Marrakech via a scenic route, stopping at lesser known views and places. Finally, hedropped us of at any place we preferred at the end of the trip. The food was excellent and the bedrooms, bathroom, showers were very clean. He was very helpfull and gave us advice for the rest of our journey in Morroco. I did the tour 2 times and both were immaculate (first time romantic with a girlfriend, 1 time with a group of friends) A wonderful experience we would definitely recommend and book again.
