Comfort

Climate and equipment

Temperate all year round. Preferably between May and November.
Equipment, supervision and difficulties :
The group travels on foot; luggage, bivouac equipment and supplies for the trek are carried by camels. You carry only your rucksack and personal belongings for the day. Take a soft travel bag. Limit the weight to 15kgs maximum.
Level 1: This route, which takes in the wild Atlantic coast or follows mule tracks inland, presents no difficulties. Walks average 4/5 hours per day. Free time for swimming.
Our guides: All our tours are led by qualified Moroccan guides who speak fluent French. They are true professionals with perfect knowledge of the terrain, and all have first-aid diplomas. Committed to quality and ethics, they will provide that extra something that will make your trip unforgettable.
Our cooks: they'll whip up some tasty dishes, brightened up by the spices that make their cuisine so tasty - an essential plus for your tour. They'll also be able to adapt the menus to suit your children.
Our camel drivers: Very few of them speak French. But their kindness, their sense of sharing and the music they play in the evenings mean you'll communicate very well with them. They are farmers, shepherds or nomads, often married with families. Accompanying the treks is an important sideline for them: it enables them to buy tea, sugar, oil, exercise books and books for the children.
