Sahara Desert Trek

Take on an unforgettable challenge and experience the breathtaking beauty and raw power of the Sahara Desert on this incredible trekking adventure in Morocco.

This life-changing challenge will see you trek approximately 100km across one of the world’s most iconic landscapes, travelling through vast sand dunes, dramatic gorges, rocky plateaus and remote oases while raising vital funds for families caring for a seriously ill child. Along the way, you’ll experience traditional Berber hospitality, camp beneath star-filled desert skies and push yourself further than you ever thought possible.

About the Challenge

Your adventure begins in Morocco before heading deep into the spectacular Sahara Desert. Over five challenging days of trekking, you’ll journey across an ever-changing landscape of towering dunes, dry riverbeds, rugged mountain passes and remote desert plains.

Guided by experienced local Berber crews, you’ll carry only your day pack while camels transport the main equipment between camps. Each evening, you’ll enjoy traditional meals and sleep under some of the clearest night skies on earth.

One of the highlights of the challenge is the climb over Jebel El Mrakib, where panoramic views stretch across the surrounding desert landscape. The trek finishes with a well-earned celebration in Ouarzazate after an unforgettable week of adventure, teamwork and achievement.
