In the south of Morocco there are two large ergs of dunes. A sea of sand where life seems to lose its breath and time stands still. Four days walking along the dunes of Zhar, Chagga, tamarisks trees along Draa River, plateaus and desert mountains! This is a truly spectacular tour for those who need some silence and order in their life!

I can’t say enough about Mohamed. He made us feel very welcome in his country providing us with guidance and assistance throughout our journey. He is knowledgeable, bright, and entertaining and was always there anticipating our needs and providing us with an unforgettable adventure. In a very short time, he became our friend and at times it felt like he was a member of our family. Group of friends
