Space
The Sahara
Walking through unlimited space of the Sahara, watching the landscape changing, meeting other caravans, making tajines on fire and freshly baked bread every night, having lunch in the shade of the palm trees… This is the beauty and simplicity you can experience on our desert trips into Sahara.
Our guides understand desert laws and know every path here – their families have been living here for generations. They will guide you through the desert, allowing to enjoy the pure experience.
Don’t look further if you are looking for a safe, responsible way to explore the Sahara.
What’s essential
is invisible to the eye.
Whether you are looking for an adventurous, a romantic, or a spiritual experience – the desert has an answer. In its silent tranquility it becomes clear that there are matters still to be discovered – it is a place of meeting yourself and spending precious time with others.
Constant merging of elements of nature: fire, water, earth and wind is a beautiful spectacle. Being a part of it makes a perfect desert trip that for many became a life changing experience.

Is there really nothing there?
“What do you actually do in the desert?” – our friends and guests often ask this question. “There is nothing there” – add others. This misconception about the space of the desert is shared by many people. Let us clear this up a little.

Erg Chigaga or Erg Z’har? Natural beauty of our favourite places in the Sahara
A journey to the most spectacular big dunes grants not only stunning views, but also seeing many faces of the Sahara on the way.
Fire
The longest lunch ever
When a nomadic family comes for lunch, don’t be surprised if they show up before noon and leave after sunset, taking time for a little nap in the meantime.

How to say hello in the desert
The ritual of greeting is one of the most consistent in rich culture of the Moroccan Sahara. For an European exchanging a dozen or so adverbs with the same meaning may seem long and unnecessary, but for a nomad it’s absolutely crucial to start any further conversation.

How to get
to Desert Camp Chraika?
The camp is located a 15 minute walk south from M’hamid. The village is well connected to major cities: Marrakech and Agadir. If you travel by bus, there are detailed schedules on companies’ websites: ctm.ma and supratours.ma. The buses are air-conditioned, with seat location and comfortable, usually with two stops for meals on the way.
You will find both direct connections to M’hamid and to Zagora, a town 90 km before M’hamid. In Zagora it is easy to get a shared taxi from a taxi stand near the mosque. We can also arrange a taxi or a pick-up for you.
Whether travel by bus or a car, we recommend to include some overnight stays on the way. There are beautiful places to see here, and we are more than happy to help you planning. The nearest airport is Zagora (OZG) where local companies fly.
