Morocco is the land of the desert and the mountains. Travel to Morocco can be a life long experience. In this article we will talk about trekking in the desert, first about how to  get to the best location for hiking. You  may fly from your country to Marrakech and start to plan the next day to the south of the country where it is best to walk in the desert. Remember, a great plan can make big difference, “hike your plan”. It is also where the desert dunes starts. A walk in the Sahara desert can be a great experience for the serious walker or for the whole family. You will meet  beautiful rocky hills and sand dunes landscapes that you just can not experience by passing through by car.

The place we have chosen for hiking is the surroundings of Tazzarine. Here you walk with a professional team who has a lot of experience and who are familiar with the area. Let’s start our plan.
