Desert logistics
Local support for events in the Sahara
An event in the desert raises plenty of practical questions: where people sleep, how water and food arrive, how to move riders and gear over sand and rock, and who knows the tracks. Our team grew up in Merzouga and knows the country around Erg Chebbi in detail.
When you plan from the other side of the world, a trusted local partner matters. We set up mobile camps at stages or finish lines, provide catering and drivers, and support organisers before and during the event, as well as photographers, film crews and expeditions.
- Mobile camps with tents, carpets, beds or mattresses
- Kitchen, catering and drinking water supply
- 4x4 vehicles, drivers and local guides
- Support with routes, permits and local contacts
