Morocco Nomadic Trek Camel Trek in Morocco
A Trek to discover the Magic of the Moroccan Desert in 6 Days (5 nights in the desert), a trekking excursion in the Moroccan desert and a stay full of unforgettable memories…
Vast and wild.
The view at the end of the track on the dunes of Ghagaga is just impressive. Like a mirage, they take shape on the horizon, like a painting. It is simply unreal, we have rarely seen something so beautiful.
At the bottom of Lake Iriki, completely dry, Chegaga in front of us, we were in a hurry: to climb one of the largest dunes, to be able, when we reached the top (70 m!), to savor the extended landscape over 40 km at 360°.
To the south of Ouarzazate, begins the immense Drâa hamada. In Antiquity the Drâa was a permanent river crossing the south of Morocco. Today, its waters still feed magnificent palm groves between Agdz, Zagora and M’Hamid, before disappearing into the sands. You will live a unique Saharan experience in the heart of the dunes, which will end at the dry lake of Iriqui.
