Morocco's Sahara Desert Guide

The inside of the tents are not temperature controlled, so if it’s hot outside your tent will be hot, if it’s cold outside it will be cold inside. Temperatures in the desert can be extreme, so research average temperatures for both day and night prior to your departure and plan accordingly. In my experience, you will get a better deal by booking the guided tour versus booking on your own. Plus, the guided tours come with hotel pick up, transportation, and meals. Feel like a caravansary traveler of yore as we journey through the breathtaking beauty of the Moroccan Sahara, with its ochre dunes, cobalt sky, and jagged volcanic peaks.
Would you like to spend a few nights in the wide spread Sahara desert, away from your civilized society and in the company of nomadic tribes? We can fulfill your dream with our highly comfortable desert camps that are operated in the Morocco’s most fascinating location – Erg Chebbi. Even if you don’t hire a local guide, there desert camping morocco will be a lot of locals offering you tours while you’re walking around the markets and medinas. If you go with one of them you may end up completely lost and pressed to spend money. Most of the time they will ask for a tip afterward too. A lot of them will offer to walk you to where you’re going but then ask for a tip.

But your driver is not just a desert expert, he is also your companion, someone who is good fun to be with and knowledgeable too. The trips are always private, so you may stop wherever you like en route. Whilst of course there is a need to depart reasonably early and arrive at the camp at a good time, there is also plenty of flexibility. Hence, for example, if you prefer to depart very early and make the most of your day, that is never a problem. You just decide what you want to do and when you want to do it, when at the camp.
More often than not you can climb to the top of the dunes and see no one. One of the best-rated and longest-established luxury desert camps in the Sahara, Sirocco Luxury Camp is a fantastic choice with relatively affordable price tags compared to other desert camps. Instead of canvas tents like many of these desert luxury camps offer, the accommodations are geodesic dome-type tents that resemble the glass igloos you may have seen in places like Finland. Since these two deserts are similar, to choose one of the two you should take into account your time and budget.

The kids also took their shoes off ad played with the sand. After lunch, we did not go back to our hotel because we checked out in the morning after breakfast and left our bags in the car. We went straight to the where the camels were waiting and got ready for our one and half our ride to  our camp site in the middle of the Sahara Desert.

3 nights Camel trekking in Merzouga desertis an experience that will take you to visit & spend an overnight stay with nomads family in the Erg- Chebbi dunes & spend two nights in a Saharadesertcamp. The camp we stayed at features platform tents with running hot water, air conditioning at night, and locking doors. Plus, every meal was cooked fresh to order and so delicious. You can stay for a night or several, enjoy the ambiance and peace, soak up the sun and immerse yourself in the culture and hospitality. Perhaps you would like to spend a week or two exploring the area, or walk with the nomads and discover their lifestyle. There are mines, geological and archaeological wonders to explore, myriads of ancient fossils and minerals abundant in this once submerged ocean.

The Merzouga desert offers the perfect setting for unique adventures and today I share with you a list of my favorites. Continue to your hotel for relax and get ready for a camel trek for an hour and half to enjoy the sunset. While on the back of your dromedary, you will continue to the camp for an overnight in traditional nomad tent.

At that time, we switch to the noblest means of transportation of the nomads and a faithful traveling companion, that is, a camel. It’s a way of travel that, although recommendable and immersive usually makes a certain impression. It never hurts to spend a little more specific reading time on each one. In this article, I talk about Erg Chebbi, and this is my partner Rafael’s article about the Erg Chigaga desert. We also describe in more detail how to get there, the landscapes along the way, etc. How sad it is to think that this stunning night sky hovers over the whole world, but we can only see it when we leave all other humans behind.

Not without paradox - If a desert camel eats a biertam plant it will go blind. Based on our booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, this experience is likely to sell out through Viator. The total cost for our 4-day return trip from Marrakech, which also includes one night at a guest house en route to the desert, costs 1,650 euro for 2 people. With only 8 rooms, each is beautifully curated with gorgeously decor elements. We’re talking ornate four-poster beds with Beni Ourain rugs, comfortable seating areas, and lovely art decorating the tents. What sets Tassili Luxury Desert Camp apart from other glamping experiences is the beautiful Moroccan decor elements that are a step above other glamp sites.
Of course, the simpler tent camps are still great fun too. This is also the time to get out your camera and practice night photography. Since there is no light pollution, you can take beautiful pictures here. Unfortunately, there was too much sand in the air with us, but for that reason alone we will have to go back. You have to drive a long way to  get there yourself anyway.
The standard Merzouga desert camps are designed for travelers who don’t need the level of luxury provided in our Morocco luxury desert camps. For toilets and showers, they are shared with all the camp. It seems like pretty much every hotel in Merzouga offers their own camel treks into the desert and overnight stays at their own private desert camps.
