Discover the Moroccan Sahara
A journey through the Moroccan Sahara is much more than a visit to the desert.

Our Morocco Desert Tours are designed to combine these remarkable places into a comfortable and memorable private journey.
Most desert journeys lead to Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes, one of Morocco’s most spectacular desert regions. Here, you can experience a camel ride across the dunes, watch the sun disappear over the Sahara and spend the night in a traditional or luxury desert camp beneath the stars.
. Depending on your itinerary, you can also discover local villages, traditional music and the unique culture of southern Morocco.
Whether you are starting in Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca or another Moroccan city, we can organize a private desert itinerary according to your travel dates, group size and interests. Choose one of our popular desert tours or ask us to create a custom Morocco desert tour specifically for your trip.
