Trekking, Yoga and meditation in the Sahara Desert

Meet at 7:30 am in front of the Café de France, Jemaa el-Fna square, for the grand departure. The route crosses the High Atlas and its Berber villages, then crosses the Tizi n'Tichka pass, at 2,260 m altitude, before descending towards Ouarzazate and southern Morocco.

After lunch in Ouarzazate, you travel along the Drâa valley, the "valley of a thousand kasbahs", and its palm groves, to M'Hamid, the gateway to the desert.

A short 30-minute walk takes you to the first campsite, where you meet the nomadic team who will accompany you throughout the journey. Dinner around the campfire, then your first night in the desert, either in a nomadic tent or under the stars, beneath a sky of rare intensity.

Your first day begins with a yoga and breathing practice at sunrise, facing the dunes. After breakfast, the camel caravan sets off with the camel drivers, the cook and your guide.

The desert unfolds before you: dry valleys, ergs and regs follow one another, and the landscapes change as you venture deeper into the Sahara. In the distance, the Kraab mountain range comes into view, rich in fossils and nomadic history.

We set up camp and had lunch amidst the dunes, in the shade of a tamarisk tree. In the afternoon, we meditated, stretched, and shared in the tent before watching the sunset. Dinner was around the campfire, followed by a night in a nomad tent or under the stars.

After practicing yoga at sunrise and enjoying a good breakfast, you set off towards the heart of the desert. Gradually, the tamarisk trees become less frequent and the view becomes increasingly spectacular, until you reach Erg Zahar and its roaring dunes, among the highest in the Moroccan Sahara, sculpted by the wind.

We set up camp for two nights, beginning with the ritual of mint tea, followed by lunch in the shade of a tamarisk tree. The afternoon is dedicated to meditation and stretching, a walk in the dunes, or a nap. In the evening, we enjoy dinner around the campfire and sing with the nomads.

The day begins with a sunrise yoga session. Depending on the group's preferences, two activities are offered.

You can climb the Singing Dune, the highest in the M'Hamid desert (250 m), for a 360° view of the Sahara. Or explore nomadic history: the tomb of a marabout, a holy man venerated in the region, an ancient cemetery, and then the second highest dune in the area.

Back at the campsite, a tea ceremony and lunch in the shade of a tamarisk tree, followed by time for practice and rest. At 5 p.m., a surprise workshop with the nomads. A climb up the dune for sunset, dinner around the campfire, and then a night under the stars for those who wish.

After the morning practice and breakfast, the caravan sets off again. You walk amidst the dunes, in the silence and light of the desert, to the fixed bivouac where you will spend the last two nights.

A ceremonial mint tea, followed by lunch. The afternoon: meditation, stretching, sharing, or free time. In the evening, the group gathers around the fire under a starry sky, with a breathtaking view of the Milky Way.

Final yoga session at sunrise, then the last leg through small dunes. Lunch under the tamarisk trees, then a free afternoon. A shower in the heart of the desert awaits you, with two cabins, shampoo, and eco-friendly shower gel available.

At the end of the day, a closing meditation to integrate all that the desert has offered you. A final dinner around the fire, and a final night under the stars.

Breakfast at 6:30 am, then a 20-minute drive in a 4x4 to M'Hamid. Return by private minibus to Marrakech, through the Draa Valley and the High Atlas Mountains, with an expected arrival around 7 pm.

Overnight stay in a riad in Marrakech ( not included) , to extend the experience with a final evening together. If you wish, we can book this for the group for an additional fee.

Independent transfer to Marrakech airport and return flight to France. End of the trip, head still full of stars.
