Desert Legacy Tours

Yoga Retreats in the Moroccan Sahara: Join a Retreat or Bring Your Group

Practise yoga where the silence is total: in the dunes and palm groves around M'Hamid El Ghizlane. We host retreats led by guest teachers and organise the complete desert logistics for yoga teachers who want to bring their own students: camps, meals, camels, transport and local nomad guides. Choose a fixed camp, an itinerant camel trek or a tailor-made programme, from September to April.
