About this tour

Start your adventure with the 8 Days Camel Trek Morocco beginning in Zagora, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. This journey takes you into Morocco’s most stunning desert landscapes. You will travel at the steady rhythm of a camel caravan, crossing golden dunes, dry riverbeds, stone plateaus, and hidden oases. From the very first day, the trek immerses you in nomadic traditions.

Throughout the 8 Days Camel Trek Morocco, you will be guided by experienced desert nomads. They know the paths, the stories, and the secrets of the Sahara. Each stage of the trek brings a new setting. For example, you will climb the towering Chegaga dunes, explore fossil-rich plateaus, and rest at the Sacred Oasis. In addition, all meals are freshly prepared in the desert, from tajines and Moroccan salads to bread baked directly in the sand.

Evenings in the Sahara are equally memorable. After a day of walking, you will sit around the fire, share tea, and listen to Sahrawi music. Moreover, nomadic chants and dances create an atmosphere that is both festive and authentic. At night, you may sleep in desert tents or under the vast starry sky. Either way, the silence and beauty of the Sahara will stay with you.

This trek is much more than a simple hike. It is a full immersion into desert life. You will discover the strength of nomadic culture and experience the magic of traveling at a slower pace. Therefore, if you are seeking both adventure and cultural discovery, the 8 Days Camel Trek Morocco is the ideal choice.
