✨ New Year’s Soul Reset – 4-Day Yoga & Desert Retreat in the Moroccan Sahara
Celebrate New Year’s Eve in the silence of the Sahara Desert.
Begin the year grounded, clear, and deeply connected.
Forget the noise, the crowds, the pressure to “start fresh.”
This year, we invite you to do something radically different:
Welcome the New Year with yoga, starlight, camel trekking, ancient music, and soulful connection — in the vast stillness of the Moroccan Sahara.
Our 4-Day New Year’s Retreat in the Sahara begins in Errachidia and ends in Marrakech — guiding you from golden dunes to gentle movement, firelight, meaningful reflection, and powerful intention-setting.
This is not just a celebration — it’s a reset.
🌄 A Transformative Way to Start the Year
While the world rushes into resolutions, we offer you a pause.
Time to reflect, release, and reconnect.
To welcome the New Year in nature, in truth, and in your own rhythm.
Whether you're seeking clarity, connection, peace, or soulful adventure — this journey offers the perfect space to realign with what really matters.
🌵 4-Day Sahara Retreat Itinerary – New Year Edition
Day 1 – Arrival in Errachidia & Sunset Camel Trekking
Meet in Errachidia, easily accessible from Marrakech or other cities. A scenic drive leads you toward the dunes of Merzouga, where your journey into the Sahara begins.
We ride camels into the dunes at sunset, guided by golden light.
Arriving at our luxury desert camp, you'll be welcomed with tea, a delicious dinner, and the warmth of drumming and dancing around the fire under the stars.
Day 2 – Nomad Visit & Gnawa Music Ceremony
After morning yoga, we visit a local Nomad family, learning about desert life and hospitality. Later, we gather for a soul-stirring Gnawa music ceremony and cacao ritual to connect, release, and reflect.
Let the rhythm move you. Let the desert hold you.
Day 3 – From the Dunes to Nkob
We leave the desert and journey toward the peaceful Berber village of Nkob, passing through stunning desert landscapes. This day invites quiet integration, reflection, and preparation for the New Year.
Day 4 – Travel to Marrakech or Extend Your Journey
On the last day, we continue to Marrakech, arriving in the late afternoon.
You may choose to end your retreat here — or extend your journey with 1–2 nights in Marrakech and an optional guided city tour through the medina and local markets.

🧣 Good to Know – Winter Edition
The Sahara in winter is magical — sunny during the day, with crisp, clear skies and golden light. But nights and early mornings can be very cold, especially around New Year.
🧥 Warm clothing is essential! Bring layers, thermal wear, scarves, hats, gloves, thick socks, and warm jackets.
🛏️ While our glamping desert camp offers high-quality comfort, including AC and heaters in the tents, desert conditions can be unpredictable — and cold.
🔥 We always do our best to ensure your comfort, but it's wise to come prepared. Better too much than too little — so you stay warm, relaxed, and fully present.
