Morocco Desert Experiences: Camps, Camels and Starry Nights
No trip to Morocco is complete without a night in the Sahara, and our Morocco desert experiences are designed to make it unforgettable. We run desert adventures to both Erg Chebbi near Merzouga and the more remote Erg Chigaga, with options for every traveller: a single night of camel trekking and camping, two or three nights with 4×4 exploration, or a fully private luxury camp experience.
A typical desert day begins with a scenic drive across the High Atlas and through the Dades Valley, with stops at kasbahs, gorges and Berber villages. In the late afternoon you swap the car for a camel caravan, riding over the golden dunes to watch the sunset. Camp is set up with comfortable beds, warm blankets, a hot shower and a delicious tagine dinner cooked over the fire. After dark, the silence of the desert and the stars are simply extraordinary.
For those who want more adventure, we add quad biking, sandboarding and guided walks to the camps. For those who want more comfort, our premium camps offer en-suite tents, private terraces and gourmet dining. Whatever you choose, our guides handle every detail — permits, luggage, water and safety — so you can simply enjoy the desert. Check our desert itineraries and tell us how many nights you have.
