Yoga and trekking in the desert

We start in Marrakech on Saturday. We spend the night in a beautiful riad in the middle of the medina and meet up on the roof terrace in the evening to get in the mood for this trip together and to get to know each other.

We start early on Sunday - we drive through the fascinating landscapes of the High Atlas and the Anti Atlas to our starting point of M'Hamid on the edge of the Sahara. There we meet our local guides, who accompany us through the desert, lead the camels and prepare incredibly delicious meals for us.

For the next 5 days, we are out and about in the Sahara.
We start the day with yoga at sunrise followed by breakfast. Well fortified, we then hike for around 3.5 hours through fascinating landscapes to our next campsite. The dromedaries carry our luggage and while we are on our way, moving through the silence in amazement, our camp for the night is already being prepared in a new, wonderful place. We are greeted with tea, nuts and a deliciously fresh lunch as soon as we arrive. Shade has already been provided and after eating we can rest a little, read and have some time to ourselves.
Later in the afternoon, we meet again in the dunes for yoga and meditation and then enjoy the magic of the sunset together in the vastness of the desert.

The evening ends with a campfire and an excellent, freshly prepared dinner.
Each evening you can choose whether to spend the night in a tent or under the stars.

After 5 days and nights of deep immersion in the desert, we return to Marrakech.
We end our trip back at the riad, meet there on Saturday morning for a final round and breakfast together on the roof terrace, before we all start our journey home again or spend another night or two in Marrakech individually.

These days in the desert, in the silence of the landscape, under the vastness of the starry sky, without cell phone reception and the distractions of daily life - allow us to immerse ourselves deeply in the connection to nature and to ourselves.

We spend the first and last night in a traditional riad in the medina of Marrakech in a shared room. Single room bookable (approx. 30€ per night)

We spend 5 nights in tents or under the open sky (here everyone can choose each night) in the Sahara. Every day at a new, beautifully chosen location. The camp will be set up by the guides when we arrive so that we can rest in the shade. The luggage is carried by the dromedaries. Our camp consists of a kitchen tent and several tents for overnight stays. The tents often remain empty, however, as the starry sky is so overwhelming that it's hard to take your eyes off it.

Apart from dinner in Marrakech and breakfast on the day of travel, all meals are included. Water and tea in the desert are also included.
During our time in the desert, we are accompanied by a cook who prepares wonderful meals for us. Always fresh, vegetarian, vegan or other specialties on request.

The schedule and times are exemplary. In Morocco the clocks tick a little differently, minor changes are possible at any time.

Day 1 (Saturday) - individual arrival in Marrakech
Our program starts with getting to know each other and an introduction on the roof terrace of the riad in the evening
If you wish, you can have dinner together (not included) and / or explore the souk of Marrakech on your own

Day 2 - Drive into the desert
Departure at approx. 6:30 am - We will be picked up and drive through the fascinating landscapes of the Atlas and Anti Atlas to the edge of the desert. Breaks for breakfast, lunch (included), photo stops etc. are of course planned and we can already gain some insights into this fascinating country along the way.
Arrival in M'Hamid - where we meet our local guides.
Our luggage is loaded onto the dromedaries and we set off on our first short hike into the desert to our first camp for the night.
We shake off the journey in a yoga session between the dunes and admire the first sunset in the desert.
After dinner around the campfire, everyone chooses their place to sleep - in one of the tents or under the stars

Day 3- 6 Immerse yourself in the desert
We start the day with a yoga session at sunrise
Meanwhile, the cook prepares our breakfast, and while we are eating, the tents are already being taken down and the dromedaries loaded
Then we set off on our daily hike to the new campsite. Roughly estimated (we don't need watches there) from 10:30 - 14:00. There is a break along the way where we can fill up our water bottles and fortify ourselves with fruit and dates.
If you are tired, you can also sit on one of the dromedaries that are traveling with us.
The camp is already set up at the new campsite, we can rest in the shade and are greeted with tea, nuts and cookies. We are served a fresh lunch (with lots of fruit and vegetables).
Afterwards there is time to read, rest and explore the area. Time for yourself.
Later in the afternoon, we meet for a gentle yoga session (approx. 90 minutes), which we plan so that we can watch the sunset afterwards. Yoga is often supplemented with meditation.
The evening ends with a campfire and dinner with stories and songs - until everyone crawls into their sleeping bags - with a view of the fabulous starry sky or in the tent.

Day 7 - Back to Marrakech
After a last night in the desert and a short hike, we reach the village again, where our transfer is already waiting. We start our return journey to Marrakech - while the landscape glides past us, there is also some time to digest the many impressions.
We organize the evening together. In the large group, in smaller groups or individually, we can explore the souk, find great locations for a last dinner, buy souvenirs, etc.

Day 8 - Conclusion and individual journey home or extension
We meet up again on the roof terrace before breakfast. We reflect on the trip, conclude it together and enjoy another breakfast together before saying goodbye.

Everyone organizes their own journey. Of course, we are happy to help. There will also be an opportunity to get to know the other participants online in advance and possibly organize a joint journey.
