7am breakfast, we have a detailed briefing, then set off for the five hour drive to M'Hamid, our starting point for our Sahara challenge. Our route takes us on the low mountains of Jebel Saghro and in the "valley of a Kasbah extends over 1000 in the desert. We stop in Zagora to buy a "shach" and for the last frozen drinks.
7am good breakfast set us up for a good day of trekking. We break the camp, we load the shamans and we cross Erg Lihoudi. We cross the small dunes and around the larger ones. Among the dunes are small tamarisk trees that manage to flourish in this harsh environment. Continuing through the small dunes, we can see the Djebel Bani mountains to the north and the dunes to the south. After a good four hour hike, we stop for lunch in the shade of a large tree. During the afternoon, we leave the dunes and on a flat rocky plateau where we camp near Lihoudi
Leaving the camp behind us, we walk across flat, open country with the camels not far behind. The surface is firm and stony with hard grass poking through in places. After about 4 km
After a good breakfast, we descend a ravine on the desert floor. We spend the morning crossing Hamada stony flat desert. We have several short climbs and cross dry and dusty plains
After breakfast, we load into the land rovers and drive the last bumpy section across the desert track to the tarmac road. The exciting journey is a lot of fun if a little inflatable! Arriving at the asphalt road, and crossing the magnificent mountains of the High Atlas in Marrakech, where we will celebrate in style! Night hotel.
