Sahara Trek

Imagine the feel of the desert underfoot, taking in mesmerising landscapes beyond your wildest expectations and sand dunes as far as the eye can see.  This 9-day Sahara Trek adventure (7 days trekking) is an unforgettable challenge, walking and camping in the deserts of Morocco.  You will also sample Moroccan cuisine, and have your luggage carried by camels!


You don't need to be super fit to enjoy the Sahara Trek, but you will be supplied with a training plan in order to get you into shape for the trip.  Some people take part with friends or family, but the majority of people come on their own.  This could be a great way to make new friends and raise money for CRY!

 

Low cost trekking

 

CRY Publications Co-ordinator Mark Fox tackled the Sahara Desert in 2006

In order for you to be able to take part in this fantastic charity trek, we ask you to first make a non-refundable deposit of £299.   The rest of the trip's expenses will be FREE providing you raise a minimum amount of £2000 in sponsorship money.  CRY will receive at least £1000 for each fundraiser who takes part in this event. 

Some participants choose to pay the deposit out of their own pocket, whilst others will do this initially and then later reimburse themselves from sponsorship money collected (from any monies raised over and above the event's minimum sponsorship level).

 

This event will be taking place from 28th February to 8th March 2009.

Duration

9 days (7 days trekking)

Includes

"The full colour of the landscape erupts as the sun rises.  Hot coffee and a good breakfast sets us up for a good day's trek.  We dismantle the campsite and load up the camels and head across Erg Lihoudi.

 Amongst the sand dunes are small tamarisk trees that manage to flourish despite the harsh environment.  Continuing between small dunes we see the Jebel Bani Mountians to the north and dunes to the south."
