Five walking days, between about five and a half and six hours each. Day 2 and Day 3 are the longest at around six hours; days 4, 5 and 6 are around five and a half. Day 1 and Day 7 are travel days by private transport.
No. The camels carry the luggage and the camping equipment throughout the trek. You walk with a day pack only.
You need to be comfortable walking five to six hours a day on consecutive days, over stone desert, dry riverbeds and sand. No technical experience or altitude is involved, but it is a real trek rather than a stroll.
A professional guide, camel drivers, and a cook chef who prepares all meals during the trek. The camp is set up and struck by the team each day.
In camps set up by the team, including nights between the dunes at Chegaga and Bougarn. There are showers at the Ouled Driss bivouac on the final night of the trek.
Spring and autumn give the best walking conditions. Winter days are clear and comfortable but the nights are cold in the desert. High summer is very hot for a trek of this length.
Almost every desert trip out of Marrakech is done from a vehicle, with a night at the edge of the sand. This is the opposite: five days on foot with a camel caravan, a cook and a local team, sleeping in a different camp each night and crossing the Jbel Bani mountains, the stone desert and two oases before reaching the Chegaga dunes. It is a journey into nomadic life rather than a look at it from the road.
