Only in the desert can you understand the immensity of Nature. The vastness of the sky, the infinity of the stars, the absoluteness of the silence. A silence broken only by the rasp of the wind or the scuffle of some desert denizen – a silence unimaginable in our busy, over-crowded lives.

Morocco Multi Activity Charity Challenge

Our Sahara multi discipline event is the ultimate challenge and this is not an adventure for the faint hearted.  You will discover a landscape of awe-inspiring beauty..

The ergs, or great sand seas familiar from the films, The English Patient and Lawrence of Arabia, are only part of the picture, accounting for less than 20% of the desert surface.   The rest is composed of reg and hamada:  arid, boulder strewn plains where ceaseless winds and furious sandstorms have whittled the rock into bizarre sculptures.   There are high rocky plateaux, and above and between lie extinct volcanoes and dried up wadis (i.e. riverbeds), shadowy canyons and mountains touched with snow.

With the help and encouragement of your team and the other trekkies, I MADE IT! The feeling I had crossing the finish line was something I will never forget. Many thanks again and I will have no hesitation in recommending your fantastic company Marilyn Adelmann 2005 Anti Atlas Trek.

Marrakech & Place Djemma el-Fna
Marrakech is a lively former capital famed for its markets and festivals. Its wildly beating heart is the Place Djemaa el-Fna, a huge square in the old city. Rows of open-air food stalls are set up here and mouth-watering aromas fill the air. Jugglers, storytellers, snake charmers, magicians, acrobats and assorted benign lunatics take over the rest of the space. The souqs (markets) here are among the best in Morocco and, indeed, North Africa.

Tafraoute - About halfway down Morocco's Atlantic coast, Tafraoute is a good base for hiking trips in the surrounding hills and to Berber villages. Just outside the town is a rather eccentric array of painted rocks. The Belgian artist behind the strange attraction chose a number of smooth rounded boulders peculiar to the region as his canvas. There are some fantastic villages to be visited in the area.
