Excursions, stays and discoveries in the heart of the Moroccan Sahara

Caravane Renard du Désert is a local agency specialized in organizing travels, hikes and treks in the Moroccan desert and in the Atlas Mountains. For over 17 years, we have been based in M'Hamid El Ghizlane, the last oasis village at the gateway to the Sahara, in the Draa Valley in southern Morocco. It is our ideal starting point for all Saharan treks.

In a context where fair and responsible tourism is becoming increasingly important, we favor an approach that respects the environment and local populations. Our values are based on solidarity, fairness, and the promotion of nomadic work, while protecting the natural and cultural heritage of southern Morocco.

Choosing Caravane Renard du Désert means experiencing an authentic, human and responsible adventure, guided by an experienced local team.
