About this journey

Our most personal journey, limited to four guests and designed around your own rhythm. You travel privately from Marrakech across the Atlas, spend two nights with a nomad family deep in the Erg Chebbi dunes, cross the volcanic Jbel Saghro massif and sleep in the Aït Atta village of Nkob. No schedule, no crowds — just the desert and the people who live in it.

Highlights

  • Two nights living with a nomad family in the erg
  • Crossing the volcanic Jbel Saghro massif
  • Aït Atta village guesthouse in Nkob
  • Private guide, cameleer and 4x4 throughout
