Men's Trekking Retreat in the Sahara – 8 Days in Morocco, 4 Days on Foot

Die erste und die letzte Nacht verbringen wir im Riad Sidi Safouh in Marrakesch, mit Bett, Dusche und Pool. Die Zimmer teilst du mit anderen Teilnehmenden, Einzelzimmer gibt es keine. Danach beginnt die Wüste.

In der Sahara bei M'hamid schläfst du im Beduinenzelt oder, wenn du magst, unter freiem Himmel auf einer Matte im Sand – in der Gruppe oder ganz alleine mitten im Nirgendwo. Matte und Decken sind vor Ort, den Schlafsack bringst du mit.

Kein WC, kein fliessend Wasser, kaum Empfang. Waschwasser gibt es, eine Dusche nicht. Wir zeigen dir am ersten Tag, wie es geht.

Faisal und sein Beduinen-Team von Magic of Desert bauen die Zelte auf, kochen und führen durch die Wüste.

Full board, Moroccan cuisine, freshly prepared, mostly vegetarian. We eat together in the evenings by the fire.

Please mention any food intolerances during the preliminary discussion, and we’ll take them into account when you arrive.

Day 1 – Arrival in Marrakesh. We’ll meet at a traditional riad. We’ll get to know each other and discuss the upcoming days.
Day 2 – Across the Atlas Mountains to M’hamid. We’ll spend the first night at a desert camp.
Days 3–6 – On foot through the Sahara. Four days with Faisal and his Bedouin team, 4–5 hours a day, often in silence. Across sand dunes and rocky terrain, through dried-up riverbeds, over hard clay plains, and sometimes through muddy areas. The camels carry our luggage. We sleep in a Bedouin tent or under the open sky.
Day 7 – Back to Marrakesh. Farewell to the Bedouin team, drive over the Atlas Mountains.
Day 8 – Wrap-up and journey home. You’ll travel home or stay a few more days.

Trekking during the day, conversations by the fire in the evening. We walk, take breaks, and eat together. In between, there are conversations, guided reflection, and silence.

After walking, you’ll write for yourself. Then there’s a sharing circle—those who wish to can share their thoughts. You decide whether and how much to share.

With Patricia, you’ll explore themes related to family, work, and relationships through systemic constellations. Yoga, breathwork, and meditation help you unwind after walking and bring you peace.

At the end, you’ll reflect on what you’ve gained and what your next step will be. After you return, there will be an integration call.

You don’t need any hiking or yoga experience, but you do need to be in good physical condition.

You’ll book your own flight to Marrakesh. If you’d like to add extra days before or after your trip, you’ll need to arrange that on your own. We’d be happy to give you some tips.

You can offset the carbon footprint of your flight through atmosfair or myclimate.
