Registration process

The Bivouac

We have the chance to run in one of the most beautiful places in Morocco … Merzouga.

Our main bivouac, in the heart of the big sand dunes, has all the comfort of a luxury camp. Bed, toilet, shower, eating area and beautiful places where you can drink a mint tea after the stages or admire the stars in peace, feet in the sand.

Our second bivouac, where we will spend two nights, will be more basic to give you the real experience of camping in the desert.
