The great Saharan ergs
Beyond the plateaus and the Drâa valley, the raid reaches the real sea of sand: dune ridges rising to 300 m, and a bivouac in the heart of the erg.
The regions this raid travels through.
Over the Atlas
Leave Marrakech and cross the High Atlas over a high pass, down to the plateaus that announce the desert. A second pass further south opens onto a broad oasis valley. Evening stop at the foot of a jbel. First night.
The palm-grove corridor
An almost unbroken corridor of date palms and earthen villages, where you leave the tarmac for the tracks of the oued bed. Stop at a fortified ksar. Night on the edge of the desert.
The oasis thins out
The oasis thins out and the desert takes over. A stop in an oasis town known for its craftwork and its heritage, then the first dunes. End of the tarmac at the last village: tyres down before the piste.
The showpiece day
Pure reg and sand piste. A first erg to warm up, stone plains between the ergs, fech-fech crossings, then the high crests of one of Morocco's largest ergs — dunes up to 300 m. Bivouac among the sands, dinner and silence under the stars.
The precise GPS track and our partner campsites: in the route book (on request).North again
Wake on the sea of dunes, last tracks in the sand, then the road north — reg pistes and oasis valley — back to the finish point. 4- or 5-day format, set with you.
