Why Ultimate Sahara?
Travelling from M’hamid, one of the last settlements before the vast Sahara, gives you an authentic desert experience, far from the crowds at less remote sites further north.
Ultimate Sahara cuts through the maze of tour options with three simple, customisable treks, bookable online in just a few clicks.
We can organise everything – transport from Marrakech, Agadir or Ouarzazate, plus hotel stays before your trek – or you can choose only what you need for maximum flexibility.
Our tours are led by Hssein Liaichi (pictured), a nomad who grew up in the Sahara and knows the desert intimately, supported by trusted local guides, chefs, drivers and specialists.
Meanwhile, our bookings centre in London ensures Moroccan hospitality backed by European customer service.
