M’Hamid El Ghizlane, also known as “The Gateway to the Sahara,” is a remote desert village located in the far south of Morocco, near the Algerian border. This magical place is where the paved road ends, and the true Sahara begins.
Surrounded by golden dunes, palm groves, and ancient nomadic paths, M’Hamid is a sacred space of stillness and tradition. It has become a rising destination for eco-tourism, spiritual retreats, stargazing, and authentic desert exploration.
Your journey will be guided by Hamza, a passionate local tour guide and founder of Sahara Secrets Discovery, who was born and raised in this region. With deep knowledge of nomadic culture and the rhythms of desert life, Hamza ensures each journey is not only safe and comfortable but deeply meaningful and unforgettable.
