Desert Camel Trip in Morocco 5-days - Itinerary:
Day 1: From Mhamid El ghizlane to Sidi Naji
After getting to know your team, depart for the camel desert trekking in the morning from Mhamid south of Morocco. You are crossing the desert towards Erg Ahl Azizi. On the way, we will stop in between for lunch. It will be the first charming meal in the Mhamid desert under the shade of the Tamarisk. After lunch, the caravan continues to spend the night in the beautiful dunes of Sidi Naji. Musical evening and delicious dinner around the fire. Night under the stars or in tents
Day 2: Sidi Naji to Erg Ezahar
Today our desert trip takes us to Erg Zahar, one of the most beautiful places in Mhamid. Whose most prominent culminates at 200m altitudes. Only one stage that day, which means we will have lunch and dinner in that spot to enjoy the dunes and the beautiful view of the sunset. Our guide will take you to the top of the dune in the afternoon. Evening around the fire. Time to learn how nomads make fresh bread in the desert. It's a traditional way to understand more about nomadic life.
Day 3: From Erg Zahar dunes to Nabket Onabgui
After a good breakfast in erg Zahar, the caravan continues to more deep in the Moroccan desert. We will cross the Reg (hard flat) to Erg Essmar, on the edge of the Draa valley, where we will stop for lunch and get water from a well there, in addition, there will be the possibility if you want to take a shower in the nature. Erg Essmar is where the nomads had lived and farmed since 1974 before moving to the Mhamid town. In the afternoon, our trekking in the desert takes us to another beautiful place of Nabket Onabgui, where we will spend the third night under a tent or the stars.
Day 4: From Nabket Onabgui to Kra'at Jmal
We continue the walk in the desert along the Draa river to reach the dunes of Ka'at Jmal. After 2 hours of walking, we will stop for lunch in the middle of the way to Kra'at Jmal. Kra'at Jmal is a favourite spot for the nomads where they can find a lot of grass for their animals. We will set up our camp in this place and enjoy more of the tranquillity and peace of the desert—musical evening and night in under tent or the stars.
