Sahara Desert experiences
Sahara Desert tours in Morocco
Camel treks at sunset, nights in a desert camp and sunrise over the dunes of Erg Chebbi — on private journeys from Morocco’s main cities, organised by a family from the Sahara.
Our family started out arranging camel safaris in the Sahara, long before we organised journeys across the whole kingdom. A night in the dunes of Erg Chebbi is still the heart of most of our itineraries.
The dunes of Erg Chebbi, near Merzouga, are reached in three days or more from Marrakech and on the first evening from Fes. For a shorter trip, the desert near Zagora is two days from Marrakech. Every tour below includes a camel ride and a night in the desert, and all of them are private and flexible.

Sahara tour questions
Which desert will I visit?
Most of our tours visit Erg Chebbi near Merzouga, the highest and best-known dunes in Morocco. Our 2-day tour from Marrakech visits the desert near Zagora, at the end of the Draa Valley, which is closer to Marrakech but has smaller dunes.
What is the desert camp like?
Most of our desert tours include a night in a luxury desert camp with private bathrooms, which combines traditional nomad-style tents with hotel comforts. Some itineraries use a more traditional Berber camp — each tour page shows the details.
Is the camel ride included?
Yes. Our desert tours include a camel ride into the dunes, usually at sunset, with one camel per person on most tours.
When is the best time for a Sahara tour?
September to February is the best time for camel trekking. We run desert tours all year, adjusting camel treks to the cooler hours in summer.
