Tour Plan
Your Morocco Camel trekking journey begins with your arrival in Marrakech or Ouarzazate. As you step into Morocco, the atmosphere feels warm, vibrant, and welcoming.
After your transfer, you’ll settle in and take time to rest. Meanwhile, you may explore nearby streets filled with colors, sounds, and subtle energy. Later, you’ll share a traditional dinner, where the group begins to connect and the journey slowly takes shape.
After breakfast, your journey begins early. Around 8:00 AM, you’ll meet your driver and start heading south toward the desert.
Soon, the road climbs into the High Atlas Mountains. As you cross the famous Tizi n’Tichka pass at 2,260 meters, breathtaking views unfold—deep valleys, winding roads, and small Berber villages scattered along the slopes.
After a pause in Ouarzazate, the journey continues toward Zagora. Meanwhile, the landscapes gradually shift from green to dry, from mountains to open desert plains.
By late afternoon, you arrive at Foum Lachaar. Here, you meet your camel team, your guide, and your cook. The camp is already prepared, and the evening begins with a traditional meal of soup, fresh salad, and tagine, enjoyed under the vast desert sky
After breakfast, your Morocco Camel trekking adventure truly begins. The morning starts with a steady climb toward the Foum Lachaar pass, gaining about 300 meters in elevation.
Once at the top, the landscape opens dramatically. Then, you continue walking through a rocky desert, where the ground feels raw and ancient. Meanwhile, canyon formations begin to appear, guiding your path into the foothills of the Djebel Bani mountains.
After a well-deserved lunch in the shade, you continue walking through increasingly varied terrain. Later, you reach Oued Lemhasser, where the campsite is set near a dry riverbed. Here, the presence of vegetation brings a surprising sense of life to the desert. The evening is calm, quiet, and beautifully remote
Next, the journey follows the path of the wadi. After breakfast, you walk along the riverbed, where the terrain shifts constantly between sand, stones, and patches of greenery.
Meanwhile, you may encounter wells, grazing animals, and even nomadic families moving through the region. Depending on the season, small pools of water may form, offering a refreshing break.
After lunch, the trail gradually rises toward the Hnina plateau. As you approach, the landscape opens wide, offering expansive views of the desert. Later, the camp is set in a peaceful location, and for a brief moment, you may reconnect with the outside world before returning to complete silence
Today marks a powerful transition in your Morocco Camel trekking journey. After breakfast, you cross a vast stony plateau, walking steadily toward the horizon.
Then, slowly, the dunes begin to appear—first as distant shapes, then as towering waves of golden sand. Meanwhile, along the way, you may meet local desert families who craft handmade items using natural materials like goat and camel hair.
After a final stretch, you arrive at the magnificent Erg Chegaga dunes. The camp is nestled within this breathtaking landscape. As the sun begins to set, the dunes glow in shades of gold and deep orange, creating a moment that feels almost timeless
After several days of trekking, today is dedicated to fully enjoying the desert. You can rest, explore the dunes, or simply sit in silence and absorb the beauty around you.
Then, in the afternoon, you’ll experience a camel ride across the dunes. Meanwhile, the slow, rhythmic movement creates a deep sense of calm and connection.
Later, you may climb one of the highest dunes in Morocco, rising nearly 300 meters above the desert floor. As the sun sets, the sky transforms into a canvas of warm colors.
In the evening, gather around the campfire. Traditional music fills the air, and laughter blends with the quiet of the desert. Above you, the Milky Way stretches across the sky, offering a moment of pure wonder
After breakfast, you leave the dunes behind and begin your return journey. First, you cross the vast dry bed of Lake Iriki, a landscape that feels almost lunar in its emptiness.
Then, traveling by 4x4, you head toward Foum Zguid. Meanwhile, the scenery remains raw and untouched, offering one last glimpse of the desert’s power.
Along the way, you stop in Tazenakht, a town known for its traditional carpets. Later, you continue to Ouarzazate, where you arrive in the afternoon. After days in the wilderness, the comfort of the city feels welcoming and calm
Finally, after breakfast, you begin your journey back to Marrakech. As you cross the Atlas Mountains once again, the landscapes feel familiar, yet your perspective has changed.
Meanwhile, you carry with you the silence of the desert, the warmth of shared meals, and the beauty of endless dunes. By midday, you arrive in Marrakech, where your Morocco Camel trekking journey comes to an end.
