Desert expeditions
Desert expeditions can be challenging and demanding, but they’re also packed with rewards. The glittering orange sand meeting the clear blue sky, the occasional mass of greenery around a watering hole, the hardy life that has evolved to cope with the stark conditions and the endless dunes for as far as the eye can see; it’s a harsh but fascinating environment to explore.![]() |
Lots to learn on desert expeditionsDesert expeditions can be as much about culture, history and social interaction as about the stunning landscape. You can learn how the geography and climate have shaped the lives of the communities that live in the regions, discover hidden ruins that were once used by travellers and discover the legends of the land from people who have lived there for generations. |
Desert expeditions around the world
World Challenge desert expeditions allow you to enjoy breathtaking scenery. For spectacular mountain peaks edging the immense rolling landscape you can visit Libya and Morocco, or to view the sights from a different vantage point you can explore The Silk Road from the back of a camel. Looking for an adventure sport with a twist? Sandboarding in Nambia will be right up your street!Deserts are the place to experience a sunrise like nowhere else on earth. Watch the shadows unveiling the burnt landscape as the rays of sun gradually bring the scenery to life for a new day. And where else in the world can you gaze at the stars with zero light pollution than on a desert expedition? At night the blackness envelopes you completely and makes you feel like nothing else exists but the here and now.
Desert expeditions aren’t barren or desolate; they’re inspiring, challenging and exciting adventures packed full of learning opportunities.
