The spirit of travel
Departing from Laâyoune, this 7-day circuit in the Moroccan Sahara invites you to discover the landscapes of the Grand South, far from classic tourist itineraries. Accompanied by your local guide, you alternate 4x4 excursions, walks and moments of relaxation at the Bedouin Camp.
Throughout the journey, you explore the Oum Dba sebkha, the isolated dunes of Amgriou and the desert landscapes of Tah. The adventure continues on the Atlantic coast, where you meet seaweed collectors, before joining Naïla lagoon for a boat trip and bird watching.
You also discover the Khaoui Nam gueltas, their waterfalls and canyon. Nights in bivouac, in the heart of the dunes or above the canyon, extend this immersion in the desert. Entirely customizable according to your wishes, this stay prioritizes discovery, nature and freedom.
