Private Trekking Tours in Morocco: Desert and Mountains

Morocco is a wonderful trekking destination, from the volcanic peaks of Jbel Saghro to the remote dunes beyond M’Hamid. Our trekking tours in Morocco are private walking adventures with local guides, combining mountain trails, Berber villages, desert camps and camel treks, and most start and end in Marrakech.

Our Morocco Trekking Tours

5-day Jbel Saghro trek: from Nkob through Bab n’Ali and Ighazzoun in the rugged Saghro massif.
6-day desert trekking in Morocco: walking from M’Hamid through Sidi Naji, Erg Ezzahar and Boughbra.
7-day trekking in Jbel Saghro: Skoura, the Dades Valley, Jbel Saghro, M’Hamid and Erg Chigaga, ending at Ait Ben Haddou.

Overnight camel trekking in Merzouga: a short camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes with a night in camp.

Desert Trekking or Mountain Trekking?

Desert treks cross sand and stone desert between dunes and oases, usually with camels carrying the luggage and nights in camps. Mountain treks in Jbel Saghro follow rocky trails between villages and dramatic volcanic landscapes. Several itineraries combine both. For a gentle introduction, read our guide to camel trekking in Morocco.

Best Time for Trekking in Morocco

Spring and autumn are the best seasons for trekking in the desert and in Jbel Saghro. Winter days can be pleasant for walking, but nights in the desert are cold, and summer is too hot for desert trekking. See our guides to Sahara weather by month and the best time to visit the Atlas Mountains.

What to Bring

Comfortable, broken-in walking shoes and light trail socks.
Layers for cold mornings and evenings, a sun hat, a scarf and sunglasses.
A small daypack, refillable water bottle, sunscreen and a headlamp.
