The expert's opinion

This trek is accessible to anyone in good physical condition. No prior desert or hiking experience is necessary.

The pace is leisurely and adapted to the group, with plenty of breaks to enjoy the scenery, rest, and learn about nomadic culture. The camels carry the luggage and equipment, so you only need to carry a small daypack with your personal belongings.

The main objective of this trip is to experience an authentic immersion in the Sahara, walking at a pleasant pace, accessible to both beginners and more experienced hikers.
