Morocco: 5 Days of Sahara Shakti—Yoga, Sisterhood, and the Magic of the Golden Dunes

Du teilst dir ein gemütliches Zelt mit einer anderen Yogini, ausgestattet mit weichen Decken und einer Matratze, damit du erholsame Nächte genießen kannst.
Wenn du eine noch tiefere Verbindung zur Natur suchst, bist du herzlich eingeladen, unter dem offenen Himmel zu schlafen, direkt auf einer Sanddüne, unter einem Meer aus Sternen.
Egal ob du dich für den Komfort deines gemeinsamen / einzel- Zeltes oder für die Magie des Schlafens unter den Sternen entscheidest, dieses Erlebnis lädt dich ein, in Einfachheit und Stille zu ruhen.
Der Preis gilt pro Person. Einzel Zelte sind verfügbar.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll enjoy authentic, nomadic dishes from the Sahara, slowly cooked over an open fire, enhanced with aromatic spices, and made with seasonal, local ingredients. You can look forward to nourishing tagines, fresh flatbread baked in sand ovens, colorful salads, and fragrant herbal teas—all designed to support your body’s natural cleansing and balance.
Vegetarian options are, of course, available and offer a colorful feast that is both grounding and invigorating—just like the desert itself.

Every morning begins with energizing yoga that grounds you and gently prepares you for the day. Every evening ends with soothing Yin sessions that guide you into a state of gentleness, reflection, and letting go.
In the silence of the desert, far from distractions and noise, you’ll find time to listen to your inner voice and connect with your intuition, creativity, and natural flow. Through movement, stillness, and shared rituals, we explore different facets of the feminine—the gentle, the strong, the wild, and the deeply intuitive.
This retreat is more than just a break. It is a return to your inner wisdom, to your body, and to the power of the feminine within you—held by the pure, vast energy of the desert.

Day 1: Arrival & Journey to the Desert
Welcome to Morocco!
Our journey begins in the vibrant city of Marrakech, where our group will be picked up in the morning and set off on a scenic drive to M’Hamid El Ghizlane, the gateway to the Sahara.
Along the way, we’ll stop for lunch at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Aït Ben Haddou, one of Morocco’s most famous and best-preserved examples of traditional adobe architecture. This ancient ksar enchants visitors with its winding alleys, intricately decorated kasbahs, and distinctive Berber patterns—a true paradise for photographers, art lovers, and movie fans (you might recognize it from *Gladiator*, *Game of Thrones*, or other films).
As the sun sets, we arrive in the M’Hamid Desert, where we’re welcomed with traditional music and Moroccan tea. Under the sparkling starry sky, a hearty dinner awaits us as we slowly get into the rhythm of the desert.

Day 2: Setting Out into the Sahara
We’ll start the day with an invigorating sunrise yoga session to ground ourselves and get in the right mindset for our journey.
After a hearty breakfast, our hike into the endless expanse of the Sahara begins. Around noon, we’ll take a break at Ras Nekhale, where we’ll rest in the shade and recharge our energy.
In the late afternoon, after about 5.5 hours of walking, we reach Dune Douib, our camp for the night. Here, a gentle Yin yoga session and a breathtaking sunset over the golden dunes await us.
The evening is ours for storytelling, singing, dancing, laughing, or simply being in quiet contemplation beneath the stars. A delicious dinner rounds out this magical day.

Day 3: Camels, Dunes & Connection
After a gentle morning yoga practice and breakfast, we set out to find our camels, which were allowed to graze freely overnight.
Our hike takes us through varied landscapes, from dunes to rocky plains to wild rocula fields. We stop for a picnic at Wad Naam and rest during the hot midday hours.
In the late afternoon, we reach the area around Erg Bertham, where we set up camp. After another soothing yoga session, we enjoy dinner and let the day come to a peaceful close.

Day 4: Final Leg & Return to M’Hamid
Our last full day in the desert begins with yoga and breakfast. Afterward, we break camp and set out from Erg Bertham to Mezouaria, our final stop before returning to M’Hamid.
There, a well-deserved lunch awaits us, along with time to relax and reflect, and one last, unforgettable sunset over the desert. We’ll spend the night once again under the starry sky at our desert base camp.

Day 5: Farewell to the Sahara – Return to Marrakesh
We start the day with one last morning yoga session and breakfast together. Afterward, we head back to Marrakesh, stopping along the way to enjoy lunch together.
In the late afternoon, we’ll arrive in Marrakech and say our goodbyes, filled with gratitude and renewed energy. If your schedule allows, we recommend staying in the city for a few more days—explore the lively souks, treat yourself to a traditional hammam bath, and immerse yourself in Morocco’s fascinating culture.
Note: This is a sample itinerary. The exact schedule will be announced upon arrival.

We celebrate your spirit of adventure and look forward to sharing this unforgettable journey with you!
