What it’s like Trekking across the Moroccan Sahara with nomadic camel herders 🇲🇦🐪
I’m a guide from the Moroccan Sahara, and most travelers who visit the desert only see a very small part of it.
Usually it’s a short camel ride, one night in a camp, and back to the city the next day.
But the Sahara I grew up in is much bigger and much quieter.
Sometimes we organize slow trekking journeys where we walk across the desert with nomadic families and their camels. Instead of vehicles, the camels carry our tents, food, and water. We move the same way people have crossed this desert for centuries.
The days are simple. We walk for a few hours in the morning, stop for tea in the shade of an acacia tree, and continue again in the afternoon. At night we make a fire, cook together, and sleep under the stars.
The nomads know the desert in a way that is hard to explain. They can read the wind, the sand, the plants, and the tracks of animals. Many of them grew up moving through these routes with their families and camel herds.
One of the most beautiful places we sometimes reach is a remote dune area called Erg Zehar, far away from roads and tourist camps. The silence there is something many travelers say they never experienced before.
For me it’s special to share this way of traveling with people who want to see the Sahara slowly and respectfully.
Happy to answer questions about desert trekking, nomadic life, or the Sahara.
