A desert tour in Morocco is not an excursion — it is a drive through three landscapes in one day. The way almost always starts in Marrakech or Taroudant, climbs over the Tizi-n-Tichka at 2,260 metres, drops into the Draa valley and ends where the road stops: at M'hamid El Ghizlane, the gate to the Sahara.

From there it is around ninety minutes off-road to the dunes of Erg Chegaga — forty kilometres of sand, up to three hundred metres high, with no phone signal and no engine noise.

All Sahara tours are private. Only your group travels, and the camps belong to families we have worked with for years.

Frequently asked questions

How is a desert camp equipped?
Fixed tents with beds, shower and toilet. Dinner and breakfast are included, as is water. On the trek you sleep in small dome tents with mattresses and blankets instead — there is no shower there.
When is the best time to travel?
September to May. In high summer the Sahara gets too hot during the day for longer stays; camp nights are in principle possible all year.
What is the minimum group size?
From two people. The price per person drops with group size — with four or five you pay noticeably less than as a pair.
What is the deposit and how do I cancel?
30 % on booking. Up to 30 days before departure we refund the deposit in full. Between 29 and 15 days we keep it; the balance is due at the latest 14 days before departure.
