What is the Sahara Desert Trek?

A 6 day trip with 4 days trekking approximately 36-48km across the largest desert in the world - The Sahara Desert!

Highlights include:

• A unique opportunity to explore the world’s most famous desert, guided by traditional berbers.
• Summit the Chigaga Dunes – the largest dunes in the Sahara Desert.
• Watch the sunrise over the desert – a once in a lifetime experience.
• A chance to explore the lively city of Marrakech before returning to the UK.

Is it the right challenge for me?

This trail is graded as 'challenging' as you will be trekking continuously over 4 days in hot temperatures across challenging landscapes.

This challenge is suitable for all ages with the correct training.

The minimum age to take part is 18 years old (14-17 years must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian).

You will be supported on the challenge by local guides, traditional berbers and a trek leader from the UK.

There will also be regular rest stops for drinks and snacks – there is no problem if you need to take more rest stops. Remember this is not a race!
