It is beyond Zagora that the large desert areas of the Draa hamada give access to the Sahara, where the desert of Morocco takes its full extent. There are the largest dunes in the Moroccan desert, 
This Sahara trek  is therefore an intense dive in the dunes of the largest erg of the Moroccan Sahara. 6 days of camel trek in total immersion. Huge outlook with a horizon of soft curves, soft hollows and moving lights.
You will also love the sunsets on the ridge of the dunes and the mint teas at the bivouac.
