Sahara Trek & Project Work Challenge 2010

Saturday October 09, 2010 to Sunday October 17, 2010

Discover the delights of Marrakech - the sights, sounds and smells which bring to life the historic cultures - African, Arabic and Berber - which make up Morocco. Mosques and Minarets sit cheek-by-jowl with narrow passageways and wide open plazas. Street vendors, musicians and buskers, fire eaters, performers, snake charmers, dancing transvestites, fortune tellers and monkeys are a plenty - all competing for your attention in a breathtaking spectacle of amusements and memory making moments which will live with you forever.

Then, experience the stunning landscape of the Sahara desert as you trek through this inhospitable yet enigmatic environment, sleeping out under the Sahara sky, getting to know the life of the nomadic tribes which still wander with their camel trains across the lonely lunaresque dunes.

After your trek, spend two days refurbishing a community building which will be used by the local children. You will be working alongside the locals, learning about their life in the Sahara.

Finally, return to Marrakech to relax after your hard work, enjoying a second night inside the red-walled city.

This challenge is physically demanding but can be achieved by someone with an average level of fitness.
