In the company of the Desert Morocco Trek team and the camel caravan, we follow the course of the Drâa wadi through the magnificent palm grove of M’hamid. After a few hours of walking, we set up our bivouac between the dunes, near the sanctuary of Sidi Naji, where according to oral tradition, this Marabout lived 18 generations ago.

M'Hamid

Hike to Erg Zahar
M'Hamid

These magnificent sand dunes offer a breathtaking view of the entire Drâa Valley. This is one of our favorite places! Little visited, it is the Sahara as we imagine it: lunar and hilly. We set up camp at the foot of the dunes, where everyone is free to sleep under the stars or in their tent.- AccommodationsOvernight stay in mobile bivouacFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
