Moroccan Desert Trips & Tours

Desert thrills and sandy spills in the most famous and incredible hot desert on the planet.
The stuff of legends and ancient myths, folk tales and Aladdin-inspired childhood dreams, the Sahara is a desert and a half. Covering an area roughly the size of the United States, and falling across a staggering 20 longitude lines and 10 countries, its immense, orange-hued plains are a place of neverending solitude. The slice of Saharan sand in south-eastern Morocco is one of the most accessible parts of the desert and for many, spending a night or even a few days here is a once-in-a-lifetime goal. Experiences are quintessential yet wonderful: camel trek to forgotten villages that rise like mirages from the sand, immerse yourself in a culture that has remained unchanged for centuries, and get your thrills on a 4WD or dune buggy expedition. And remember, whether you choose to do nothing or everything, the sheer majesty of your surroundings will take your breath away at every turn...

Why you'll love it

Why you'll love it

No matter how many times you’ve gazed at the stars, nothing beats the night sky in the desert – especially if viewed from between the drapes of a Bedouin tent, a camp fire smouldering beside you and nothing but sand beneath you.
Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

There’s nothing quite like landing in the middle of the Sahara in a helicopter, before hopping aboard your camel caravan for a G&T as the sun dips below the horizon and the dunes change colour before your eyes. Not that we want to put ideas in your head, of course…
Something to think about

Something to think about

Be mindful of your clothing choices. This is true for most of the country, which is conservative and deeply religious throughout, but particularly so in the remote villages of the Sahara.
