Dare to immerse yourself completely in the Sahara

Far from established routes, you gradually venture into the remote expanses of the Sahara under the guidance of Bernard, our local expert. Around Zagora and then towards Merzouga and Erg Chegaga, you learn to read the terrain, cross dunes and navigate by compass. Bivouacs deep within the dune fields punctuate this increasingly self-supported journey. Between isolated regs, ancient dry lakes and vast seas of sand, this expedition immerses you in the raw, trackless Sahara.
