Nomadic Crossing in the Heart of the Sahara Ergs

Nomadic Crossing in the Heart of the Sahara Ergs

Nomadic Crossing in the Heart of the Sahara Ergs This tour is a true immersion in the authenticity of the Moroccan Sahara, where the desert reveals all its grandeur and wild beauty. Accompanied by a team of Sahrawi nomads, it not only allows you to navigate these vast expanses, but also to discover their ancestral way of life.
Crossing the ergs, these immense golden sand dunes, offers a unique experience, with a rarely matched feeling of isolation and freedom. Passing by the tomb of Sidi Salah adds a spiritual and historical dimension to this adventure, in keeping with local traditions.
The absence of water points during the first three days emphasizes the demanding nature of this trek, but also its authentic character, where only seasoned caravans and nomads can travel. This journey promises landscapes of rare beauty, unforgettable starry nights, and a true reconnection with nature.
