Objective
To trek 100km across the Sahara Desert, Morocco in 8 days
Location
The Sahara desert stretches from the snow capped mountains of Morocco
in the west, to the Red Sea coast 4800km to the East.
Its landscape varies from a stony flat expanse to perfect wind blown sand
dunes, broken only by the occasional oasis. The feeling of space and of
solitude is awesome.
With proud Berbers as our guides and a small caravan of camels to carry
our supplies they will trek 100km through this varied and stunning landscape.
Weather
Days in the desert are usually clear and sunny, and it can get very hot.
Nights are colder and the temperature drops noticeably as soon as the
sun sets.
November – March 8 - 30°C
