Authentic Morocco: From the Sahara to the Imperial Cities with NAGA Travel

In the Footsteps of Caravans Across the Moroccan Desert

Nestled in the southern reaches of Morocco, at the edge of the Sahara, the village of Mhamid El Ghizlane marks the starting point of a unique adventure through the vast desert. With NAGA Travel, travelers embark on treks and desert hikes, guided by nomads and former caravan men, to discover the authentic Sahara and its grand landscapes.

The itineraries follow the ancient caravan routes, traversing oases and desert plateaus, all the way to the majestic dunes of Erg Chegaga and Erg Zahar, nicknamed the howling dune for its wild and spectacular character.

On the way, a must-stop is Sidi Naji, an iconic site rich in history and local traditions. This stop, frequently visited by caravans, offers a unique glimpse into Saharan spirituality and culture, inviting travelers to fully soak up the desert’s soul.

The days unfold to the rhythm of walking or camel caravans, weaving between dunes, hamadas and palm groves. In the evening, bivouacs set up in the heart of the desert provide magical moments: tea beneath the stars, nomadic tales, and a total immersion in the silence and beauty of the Sahara.

With NAGA Travel, every circuit is an authentic experience, combining adventure, spectacular landscapes and encounters with desert inhabitants, along the routes of Morocco’s ancient caravan trails.
