Objective
To trek 100km across the Sahara Desert, Morocco in 8 days
Location
The Sahara desert stretches from the snow capped mountains of Morocco
in the west, to the Red Sea coast 4800km to the East.
Its landscape varies from a stony flat expanse to perfect wind blown
sand dunes, broken only by the occasional oasis. The feeling of
space and of solitude is awesome.
With proud Berbers as our guides and a small caravan of camels to
carry our supplies they will trek 100km through this varied and
stunning landscape.
Weather
Days in the desert are usually clear and sunny, and it can get very
hot. Nights are colder and the temperature drops noticeably as soon
as the sun sets.
November – March 8 - 30°C
