About This Tour

This 4 days camel trek leaves the last village of M'Hamid El Ghizlane behind and follows the old nomad routes towards Sahara Desert, passing M’hamid, Sidi Naji Region, Sidi Naji, Erg Ez-Zahar, Ait Ounir.

You walk beside the camel caravan with an experienced nomad guide, at the unhurried rhythm of the desert. Nights are spent in simple bivouac camps among the dunes, with fresh sand bread baked in the embers, tagines cooked over the fire and a sky full of stars — the Sahara as the nomads have always known it.

All trekking equipment, meals and the support team are organised by Sahara Sunset Tours. The route and pace can be adapted to your group — contact us on WhatsApp for dates and a tailor-made quote.
