Trek Sahara 2027

Support Dorothy House and take on an unforgettable trek across the Sahara Desert in Morocco. Trek Sahara 2027 is a unique charity challenge that offers a remarkable insight into one of the world’s most iconic landscapes while immersing you in the traditional Berber way of life.

What to expect

You’ll spend two full days and two half days trekking through ever-changing desert terrain, including ancient dried riverbeds, rolling dunes and vast sun-baked plains. The journey is both rewarding and awe-inspiring, offering moments of challenge, peace, and breathtaking natural beauty.

Life in the desert

Each night you’ll camp under expansive desert skies, giving you the chance to witness incredible star-filled nights (weather permitting). Gather around the campfire, share stories with fellow trekkers, and enjoy the tranquillity of the desert after dark.

Authentic Berber experience

Your Berber support team will prepare delicious traditional Moroccan meals each evening — hearty, flavourful and the perfect reward after a day’s trekking. Their warm hospitality and deep connection to the region make this experience extra special.

Fitness Requirements

This trek is moderately challenging and suitable for those with a good level of fitness. While the terrain is mostly flat, walking on soft sand and tackling dunes adds extra physical effort, especially over consecutive days.

The biggest challenge on this adventure is the heat. Temperatures in the Sahara can historically reach up to 40°C, which can make even steady walking more demanding. Being well-prepared physically will help you manage the conditions comfortably and recover effectively each day.

We recommend building strong cardiovascular fitness and stamina before departure, along with regular walking on varied terrain. The fitter you are, the more you will enjoy the experience and make the most of this incredible desert adventure.
