BORN IN SOUTHERN MOROCCO
We know the tracks that do not appear on maps, the hour when the dunes turn gold and the places where silence becomes part of the journey.
Every experience starts in Foum Zguid, supports local people and gives you time to live the desert instead of simply crossing it.

THE SIGNATURE ROUTE
Around 90 kilometres beyond the tarmac. Rocky mountains, open steppe and the former Lake Iriki before reaching an ocean of dunes.
LOCAL FOUM ZGUID GUIDE
In Morocco’s Tata province, Foum Zguid is one of the best starting points for reaching the Sahara away from the busiest desert routes.
Tracks leave the village through the mineral landscapes of Jbel Bani and the former Lake Iriki before reaching the dunes of Erg Chigaga. Our local team arranges private 4×4 tours, desert camp nights, walking journeys and tailored itineraries. We can also organise transfers from Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Agadir or elsewhere in Morocco.
FAQ
October to April generally offers the most comfortable temperatures for desert tours, trekking and camp nights.
The routes leave the tarmac and track conditions change. A suitable 4×4 and an experienced local driver are strongly recommended.
Day trips, camp nights, multi-day expeditions, desert walks and private transfers can all be tailored to your group.
