The reference price uses the stated group size. It is not multiplied automatically for a different group: Majid sends a fresh total for your actual dates, travellers, camp and optional activities.

Your itinerary

  1. Day 1 — Ras N’khal to the open desert. Meet in M’Hamid and begin the journey towards Sakri, with a first wild camp on the route.
  2. Day 2 — Sakri Oasis. Continue through changing desert scenery, taking regular breaks and a lunch stop before the next wild bivouac.
  3. Day 3 — Oued Naam. Continue from the Sakri area towards Oued Naam. Allow around six walking hours for this stage, with additional time for rest stops.
  4. Day 4 — Bougarn to Erg Chigaga. Continue towards Bougarn and Erg Chigaga, reaching a desert camp for the final night. The long approach may require an adjusted stage plan or a vehicle connection; Majid confirms this before booking.
  5. Day 5 — Return. After breakfast, return to M’Hamid by 4×4.

Included in this programme

  • Four camels for the agreed private trek.
  • A trekking companion and cook, with meals during the programme.
  • Three wild bivouac nights and one Erg Chigaga camp night.
  • Return 4×4 journey to M’Hamid.
  • Sandboarding, sunrise, sunset and camp music as arranged.

Extras & exclusions

Accommodation in M’Hamid before departure, travel to the meeting point, quad rides and personal expenses are extra. Any additional vehicle connection or extra trek day must be priced and agreed separately.

Route planning note: Ras N’khal–Sakri is approximately 50 km; Sakri–Oued Naam around 6 walking hours, Oued Naam–Bougarn around 3 hours, and Bougarn–Chigaga around 4½ hours, before rest stops. The final stages must fit your pace; this is not a promise to cover all long stages on foot in one day.
