Sahara Desert Trek
Experience the land, the people and the wildlife of the Sahara Desert as you cover 100km on this 5 day trek. Passing through Morocco’s forbidding landscape punctuated by peaks, gorges, dunes and oases. This challenge goes beyond the Jebel Segro region, starting on the Maider El Kbir plateau, before ascending Jebel El Mrakib, and admiring the stunning views. The final days are spent along the Tikertouachene River, before celebrating your success in Quarzazate.
Trekking between 17-27km per day, each night you will rest under Morocco’s star strewn skies and enjoy traditional Berber hospitality. Sign up today with a minimum sponsorship charity place, in partnership with Charity Challenge, and become a part of Team Children with Cancer UK.
