The Desert Edition represents approximately 70 km of walking over 3.5 days, across varied desert terrain.

The experience is accessible to all women, whether athletic or not. You don't need to be an experienced walker or a seasoned athlete. Gradual preparation, a few regular walking sessions, and good physical fitness will allow you to approach the journey with confidence.

The journey is conceived as a true human caravan, bringing together women and men who intimately know the desert and its territories.

At each stage, you are accompanied by our sports management, guides, doctors, camel drivers and experienced support staff.
