Perfect for someone looking for a different kind of holiday! Experience the beauty of the Sahara Desert on this, the toughest trek that Trekforce will attempt with a team. After taking 4X4’s through the Atlas Mountains following the old trails of Berber herders we arrive at the boundaries of the Sahara.
