Accommodation:

Open-air or hayma (Saharawi tent)

Personal equipment:

Good sleeping bag, trekking shoes, sun protection, sunglasses, tent (only for Southern Morocco tour)

Best time to go:

October – end of April

Climate:

15 – 35 Cº day temperature, in winter months can be a little cool and humid at night, very rarely rain.

Health hazards:

Possible indigestion, sunstroke.

Potential dangers:

Unlikely (but not entirely unthinkable) time consuming albeit polite checks by the occupational authorities if we happen to run into a military patrol.

Strong ocean currents (we swim only in safe places).

There are still antitank mines in some areas of W. Sahara. These are remains of  a prolonged conflict between Morocco and Polisario which came to halt with the truce in 1984. We are going to move in zones, declared to be safe by Moroccan ministry of tourism.

Vaccination:

None

Visa:

No

P.s.:

Generally the way we do our thing is seemingly spontaneous and playful (too rigid planning never works out well in the desert, you inevitably end up stressed out “German” style). However, what we promise, we keep; the same goes for our Saharawi partners.
