5 of the Best Morocco Desert Tours

Climb lofty sand dunes and gaze out over expanses of Martian-esque sandscapes that seem to stretch on forever on one of these top Morocco desert tours.

(Photo: Tourradar.com)

Morocco’s landscapes vary from the fertile Mediterranean shores, to the lofty Atlas Mountains and down to completely inhospitable (for humans, at least) mile after mile of desert. Head south or southeast from Morocco and there is nothing but Saharan sand. But with the right tour company, a trusty camel and some top-notch logistics you can travel like Lawrence of Arabia through the Moroccan desert. Here are five of the best tour options based on factors such as safety, itinerary and duration.

3-Day Sahara Desert Tour from Fès to Marrakech

Both Fès and Marrakech are located on the more fertile northern side of the Atlas Mountains, but a route between the two passes through the lofty range of peaks to the arid desert on the southern side. This three-day tour is a great initiation into Saharan life without the hardship. You’ll spend the first day exploring the villages of the Ziz Valley before a night in the desert at the Merzouga Camp, surrounded by sand dunes. Escape the sun the next day in a deep gorge before working your way back through the Atlas towards Marrakech. From $509 per person.

Moroccan Desert Adventure

Longer tours mean a deeper dive into the desert and a better appreciation of the Sahara’s beauty and the customs that have developed as a result of the challenges of living on the fringes of it. This seven-day tour, starting and ending in Marrakech, is a great way to see much of the landscape, and towns and villages dotting the southern foothills of the Atlas Mountains, such as the magnificent Aït Ben Haddou, with its UNESCO-listed kasbah. You will spend a night also at the Merzouga Camp and ride a camel on the dunes there. From $525 per person.

Moroccan Desert and Beaches Tour

There’s another type of much sought-after sand in Morocco beyond the desert: that of the beautiful Atlantic coast beaches, such as at Essaouira. Highlights of the tour, which heads out from Marrakech, include the red rock of Todra Gorge, a camel ride on the Mergouza sand dunes, a short hike near the highest mountains of the Atlas range, and a surfing lesson on the waves off Taghazout. As with all tours, accommodation is provided. As this is a lower-priced tour, accommodation is basic, in one-star hotels and hostels. From $769 per person.

Morocco Kasbahs & Desert Tour

Another open-jaws tour option, ideal for anybody wanting to slot a guided experience into a broader Morocco or North Africa trip, begins in Casablanca and ends in Marrakech. The itinerary is packed with experiences and activities from camel riding on Saharan dunes to a lesson in cooking the perfect tagine. The tour also stops at Fès, another major hub of the backpacker trail, and includes guided tours and dinner in an old Moroccan palace. Accommodation quality is a step above the previous tours on this list. From $899 per person.

Imperial Cities & Sahara Desert Experience

If you’d prefer to take a private tour of the cities, landmarks and desert of Morocco, this is a great eight-day option. You’ll also find yourself on a trip that maintains a high standard of comfort throughout; with the exception of your stay in the desert at the Merzouga Berber Camp, which is worth the sacrifice for the open canopy of stars and Lawrence of Arabia vibe, you can expect to stay in three- or four-star hotels. Highlights of the tour include a camel ride on the dunes of Erg Chebbi, and private guided tours of Fès, Volubilis and Marrakech. From $1,715 per person.

Certificate of Excellence

Though it’s a lot of time in the car, the beautiful scenery and good company from our tour guide Younes made the time pass quickly. We got a lot into a two day trip, and while the schedule is packed, you feel like you got to see a lot of different landscapes and aspects of Morocco. Our tour guide Younes was fantastic and responsive.

We used this company for a day trip from Fes to Volubilis and Meknes and then again for a three day tour from Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga. Our family of four were very happy with our tours and in particular with the friendliness, helpfulness and knowledge of our guide (Ibrahim) and our driver (Hassan). We would definitely hire them again.

In 3 days, Hammou showed us so much of what Morocco has to offer, from driving us through the stunning landscapes of the atlas mountains and the desert, to teaching us about the Berber culture, language, food and music. We met some amazing people along the way, and Hammou was very accommodating, energetic and made us feel safe and at ease at all times. He handles all situations well, I recommend this tour for sure and be sure to ask for Hammou as your guide!

We traveled with our young adult children and all had a great experience! Our driver and guide, Hammou, was very friendly and we loved talking with him and learning about the country’s culture, customs and history from him, as well as seeing all of the sights.

How to Take a Sahara Desert Tour in Morocco (The Right Way!)

Let me preface this post about Morocco desert tours and our experience with a Sahara Desert tour in Morocco by saying that I despise signing my life away to anyone else managing my time for more than a few hours.

As a child, this meant that I hated summer camp with the passion of a thousand fiery suns, and only made it through a couple of them (despite growing up to love most of the actual activities that campers participate in).

As an adult, it means that I am deeply suspicious of organized group tours and generally avoid being part of them at all costs.

So, when I say that Jeremy and I found that the final night of our 3 day/2 night Sahara Desert tour in Morocco to be the most rewarding thing that we did in the country–I really, really mean it.

Pros of Taking a Sahara Desert Tour in Morocco

Erg Chebbi, the giant dune that most tourists seek out when trekking to the Sahara in Morocco, is one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen. The complete silence that greets you in the desert, and the way you can truly lose yourself in sand that stretches as far as the eye can see, is incredible.

The sand in the Sahara Desert is the softest I have found–no beach or desert that I have ever been to before can compare: this was akin to sitting on velvet or running your hands through water. It is so soft.

And, the stars–don’t get me started on the stars. I have been to some fairly remote places, but the Sahara Desert is about as dark as it gets: when the sun went down, the sky utterly erupted with more stars than I thought it could hold, complete with a crystal-clear view of the milky way.

To add to the ambiance, we trekked to our campsite by camel at sunset during our Morocco desert tour, and then out again at sunrise. It sounds romantic to do it that way (and it was)–but really, I’m pretty sure the sunset/sunrise schedule has more to do with shielding the tourists from the heat than anything else.

Either way, though, the camels definitely added to the atmosphere.

Initially, I was a bit disappointed that our 3-day Morocco desert tour only included one to two hours of camel ride, but I quickly got over it–first, because as it turns out that was one to two hours each way, and second, because the similarities between camel riding and horseback riding are somewhat limited.

I was so sore by the end of the second ride that I couldn’t wait to dismount. About half our group abandoned the camels entirely on the way back and chose to walk alongside them instead.

(Fun fact: The camels of the Sahara Desert in Morocco have one hump instead of two, and are therefore technically “dromedaries”, or “Arabian camels”. Everyone in Morocco just called them “camels”, though, either for the tourist’s benefit or otherwise, so I’m going to stick to that for simplicity here.)

Due to a combination of refusing to close our eyes and stop watching the stars, and being roused at the literal crack of dawn to jump on our camels again and leave (I think it was less than 10 minutes from opening my eyes to sitting on the camel–the Berber boys and men running this show were incredibly efficient), we barely slept–but it was so worth it .

Raving about the desert seems to be a pretty consistent reaction among people who have been there–I really can’t speak highly enough about being consumed by a very different kind of nature than most of us are used to, and I will forever nag anyone who is headed to Morocco to be sure to add a night in the desert (preferably by camel–you can go by 4-wheeler, by unless you have a physical limitation, I don’t recommend it) to their itinerary.

… This begs the question: how should you get out there? We did a multi-day Sahara Desert tour in Morocco, but while you certainly need to hire a trekking company to head into the desert for the night, it is possible to get yourself to Merzouga (the “entrance point” to the desert) and find a company there, rather than signing your life away for multiple days.

The right answer, I believe, depends fully on your travel style, experience, and expectations.

Based on our experience, here are the pros and cons of using a multi-day desert tour to visit the Sahara in Morocco.

It is the simpler option.

With a Sahara Desert tour, your transportation, trekking company, lodging, and normally some meals are taken care of in one (negotiated) price. There’s a much smaller chance of getting lost, and there are far, far fewer logistics to manage.

Want to make the logistics even simpler? Book a tour before arriving! This popular tour has been reviewed nearly 2000 times, and follows essentially the same pattern our tour did (most of them do). Yes, you will pay about 40% more than if you haggle well on the ground, but if you’re not on an extremely tight budget, there is something to be said for peace of mind.

The group dynamic can add to the experience.

Of course, group dynamics can be finicky, but Jeremy and I were lucky enough to end up with a great group of people who all got along well.

Those brief “travel friendships” were valuable, and greatly enhanced our experience of both being out in the desert and in Morocco in general.

The stops along the way will be organized.

This can really fall under both “pro” and “con”, but there’s no denying that the tour bus drivers know exactly where to take you to get some great photos throughout Morocco–some of my favorite photos of our time in the country came from our driver pulling over to the side of a small road and having us all get out to snap.

You can be reasonably certain of the safety of your trek.

There’s a certain vulnerability in traveling to a country that you’re unfamiliar with, that also has a language that you’re unfamiliar with, that also has completely different customs than you’re familiar with.

Though you can never be 100% certain of the safety or reputability of anyone that you’re working with, having a contract with a tour company that delivers dozens of tourists to them regularly does suggest a certain level of experience.

You will have little to no control over your schedule.

From the moment we were picked up at our riad in Marrakech until the moment the tour was over, we were told when (and where) to eat, when (and where) to spend money, and when (and where) to sleep.

In many ways, this is the nature of group travel–but for people who prefer to make their own schedules (guilty as charged), the dynamic can get very frustrating, very quickly.

You are a captive audience.

Though our tour company did keep to all technical promises made–transportation, breakfast, dinner, lodging, and our desert trek were covered by our initial fee–the tour company and those working around us pushed the boundaries every way that they could.

Mysteriously, we did not eat at one restaurant for lunch that charged less than typical US prices for mediocre cuisine–shocking, I know. We also never ate at a restaurant that had any other stores, restaurants, or general options surrounding it.

Our tour group also ended up forking over money for a “tour” that we didn’t know that we were taking–and yes, an “any optional entrance fees will be additional” notice was given, but we did not receive any notice when this “optional” activity started and were not given a choice to opt-out.

Most obnoxiously, in my opinion, on the final day of our tour, half our group (us included) were going to head to Fez rather than bus back to Marrakech. We were told that we would be dropped at a bus station and could then arrange for a bus or a taxi–fair enough.

What actually ended up happening, however, was that we were dropped off on the side of the road, no town or bus station in sight, and our bus driver called a “friend” to pick us up before the bus drove away.

Of course, we were left with essentially no bargaining power in this situation, as we had no real option but to get in the chosen taxi or be left on the side of the road with our luggage and no transportation.

Outside of the Sahara Desert, the controlled activities were mediocre.

Our visits to Ait Benhaddou and Tinghir were interesting, but they were also very rushed, very formulaic, and were clearly designed to extract money from us rather than provide us with an experience.

We stayed in each place for less than 2 hours, with at least 1/3 of that time being dedicated to the clear attempt to sell us things–most obviously, we were taken to a “Berber carpet shop” in Tinghir where we were “shown carpets” for five minutes and “aggressively sold to” for another twenty before we were directed to leave.

When we took our Sahara Desert tour in 2016, our answer to this question was a hard no: we were traveling on a strict budget, and the easiest way to get the cheapest rates for Sahara Desert tours was to haggle in person.

That’s still true, but things have also changed in that time: Morocco has received more and more tourists, and as a result, prices for online bookings have been driven down from absolutely insane (we were quoted well over 300 Euros/person at one point!), to a more manageable $120-$140 USD for a basic, but a reputable tour that looks essentially like the one we took.

Yes, that means you’ll still be paying about 40% more than haggling on the ground, assuming you’re a solid negotiator–but there are benefits, as well.

While you can never completely guarantee an above-board booking, there’s safety in booking through a company that already has thousands of online reviews, and therefore has a reputation (and possibly contracts with booking agents) to protect.

This, sadly, goes double for women–in the years since our Morocco desert tour, we have met more than one woman who was subject to sexual harassment by their guides, including a current dear friend.

There’s also logistical ease to planning your trip ahead of time, especially if you know you need to complete your tour on certain dates and plan to make other bookings around that.

If we return to Morocco in the future with more travel experience, and yes, a slightly larger budget, we will absolutely visit the Moroccan Sahara Desert again–and this time, we will definitely book ahead–probably on this tour , which has been reviewed nearly 2000 times on Get Your Guide.

I think that we made the right choice by taking a Sahara Desert tour in Morocco. This was our first time in Morocco, and the stress of navigating buses or hiring a car to get to Merzouga, only to find a trekking company ourselves, was an overwhelming prospect that I am glad we didn’t take on.

In fact, while updating this blog post years later, I am now more convinced of that above statement (originally written in 2016) than ever–the logistical challenges of traveling independently in Morocco are impressive, especially for people who don’t speak either French or Arabic.

At this point, we have traveled to nearly 50 countries, including additional countries in Africa, and I am still confident that if we return to Morocco, we would book a tour again in a heartbeat rather than drive ourselves to Merzouga.

That being said, the activities leading up to the Sahara Desert itself were definitely a bit of a disappointment, at least the way our tour did them–I would have loved to have had more time at Ait Ben Haddou in particular, and definitely would have preferred to have more restaurant options.

A certain amount of that, though, is simply the price of entry to this type of tour–and ultimately, when I look back on our Sahara Desert tour in Morocco, those moments under the stars, nestled against the sand that felt like velvet under a sky holding more stars than I had ever seen, made everything that came before and after absolutely worth it.

We are now 5 years into our life of travel, and our Sahara Desert tour in Morocco remains one of the most memorable travel experiences we have had.

If you’re headed to Morocco… don’t miss the chance to take a Morocco desert tour. You won’t regret it.

Beautiful pics – I’m looking to do the same in a few weeks! What is a good benchmark price for the 3 day/2 night tour? Are both nights camping or do you do one night in accommodations? Thanks!

Oh, how exciting, and thank you!

There are a million different companies, so there may be small differences, but we got the impression that the tours were almost identical (our tour group even included people who booked through multiple agencies). Your tour will likely be similar to ours.

A good price appeared to be 750 dirham (75 USD). It was the most common negotiated price in our group of 17. Some people paid up to 900 dirham, and a few negotiated as low as 600 dirham.

The first night was spent in a hotel, and the second night was camping. We had a private room at the hotel, but camping we were with a few others (several people were told this wouldn’t be the case, including us, so fair warning there).

Be sure to bring lots of water–our camp didn’t have any available once we got out there for the night.

Have fun!! It’s really such an amazing experience, I’m sure you’ll love it.

Thanks for all the advice! Much appreciated.

Happy to help! Have a great time. 🙂

Hello Kate, thank you for all the advice! I keep hearing that booking of a tour to the desert should be done on site. But did you just go through your hotel or looked around? Also, I have read a lot about people who have done a 2 day/3 nights desert trip and would have rather taken a longer one. That’s what I have been thinking of doing, but now that you talk about how you think you would have preferred a shorter trip I am wondering. Do you think you could elaborate on your reasons? Thank you!

Hey Alyssa! Great questions. We did go through our hotel to book our tour, but I don’t recommend it–we overpaid because of doing that. There are several tour companies in Marrakech near the tourist areas, and I would recommend just stopping by a couple of those and haggling until you get the best price. You’ll be going to essentially the same tour regardless (as I mentioned in the post, our tour was made up of several companies bookings), so a fair price is the goal.

As far as time, I can certainly see someone wanting a second night in the desert, though we were very sore and exhausted by the end of our time and happy to head back to town. The reason I would have preferred the shorter tour is that rather than extra time in the desert, you’re really paying for the tour companies to take you to extra places with the objective of getting more money from you–very overpriced restaurants, aggressive salesmen in a carpet shop, etc. We did include a couple of the extra stops such as Ait Benhaddou, but not enough to justify taking up more of our time in Morocco for it.

I hope you enjoy your trip! Morocco is an unforgettable experience. 🙂

Hello, I’ve done a lot of research about going to a Sahara desert camping trip and have learned a lot about it. The one thing no one has wrote about is what to take with you on that part of the trip. How much stuff do the tours usually let you carry with you?

Hey Andrey! Our tour company didn’t have us bring anything except a small bag with a camera/contact case/jacket/water in it for the overnight part of the trip. The water was especially important, because there was no water source at the camp. Everything else was left locked in the van overnight.

Thanks for your honesty. I appreaciate that the fact that you portray the ‘warts and all’, particularly the carpet shop extravaganzas that put me off travel in the Arab world. Having been in the Amazon, I imagine that the night sky must be something else.

Thanks, Gearoid! We always aim for honesty in our writing. 🙂 The night sky really was absolutely incredible–one day we’ll have to go back and photograph it properly!

I like your story. I am going alone next month and a little nervous about haggling for a tour once i get there. what company did your tour?

Hi Heidi! We’re actually not sure of the company–we booked through our riad, but there aren’t really any specific “companies”. No matter what tour officer you negotiate with, you’ll likely end up in a group with people who booked all over town. The people in our group came from several different agencies!

Hi, your blog is awesome in breaking down your experience in Morocco. My husband and I are looking to plan a trip to Morocco in late October. I am so overwhelmed in websites and deciding between booking flights/hotel or utilizing the travel vacation tours. How did you guys maneuver through the process? Thanks again and wonderful site!

Hi Kate! Great post! This whole blog is amazing.

I’ll be flying in to Marrakesh with a group of 5 of us for 6 days and we plan to visit Fes as well as do a night in the Sahara. My issue is- this trip is part of a much longer 6 week plan so we have quite a bit of luggage (Each with a carry on, back pack and one check in). Because we want to protect our items, do you think it will be a necessity to just pay for a hotel to store our luggage while we venture out for a night of camping? And with that- will they drop us back where we were picked up or will we be transported to Fes like you mentioned with your strange bus/cab incident?

Thank you so much for your reply!

Thanks, Monica!

We visited Morocco as part of a larger trip too, and we left our large bags locked in the tour company’s van during our overnight (we took our electronics/valuables in our day pack with us into the desert). Hotel storage is a very standard option as well, I would say that both are equally safe–things can always happen, but I don’t think the odds of theft are terribly high.

Most tours, including the one we took, return to the city they started in, so you shouldn’t have any problems there! The way we did it was unusual, but not unheard of–we weren’t the only ones to ask to continue to a different city.

Hope that helps and that you have an amazing trip! 🙂

This was great advice! I’ve always wanted to go to Morocco! Will definitely bookmark this

We are thinking of going to Morocco for a little less than 2 weeks in late December/January (basically to use the Christmas break). And we thought of doing the desert trip from Marrakech to Fes as well. So I had a few questions:

When do you make your payment? Before the trip or when they pick you up?

From the sounds of it, it seems you took all of your luggage with you. Was there any space issues with all the luggage?

Sounds sketchy that they just leave you on the side of the road for another car to take you to Fes. Did you have to pay again?

How was the tent situation? Was there electricity, blankets, how were the washrooms? I know it usually gets cold in the at night but it will be even colder in december.

I’m not a fan of being flocked around to sales pitches, but I do want to see Ait Benhaddou and Tinghir and think this will be a nice way to get a quick glimpse of these places.

Happy to help!

We paid before the trip, though some people may have paid at pickup.

They were totally prepared for all the luggage, it ended up in the back of a van.

Yes, the cab to Fes was separate (and yes, a little sketchy too). It’s not required, though–the “official” tour began and ended in Marrakech, but since we and several others were headed onto Fes, we didn’t want to double back several hours.

The tents were pretty standard, no floors, cots to sleep on. No electricity. The bathroom is literally a toilet buried into the ground inside another tent, no plumbing. There are luxury camps too, but of course, they cost a lot more.

Thanks for the thorough post.

We are thinking of doing a 2 week trip in December/January over the Christmans/New Years break and were also thinking of doing the desert tour en route from Marrakech to Fes.

Do you make your payment before, or when they come to pick you up at your hotel?

Were there any issues with having enough space for all your luggage on the van?

It’s definitely sketchy that they left you on the side of the road for the ride to Fes. Did you have to pay again?

Did you go directly to Fes, or make stops on the way?

I definitely do not like being flocked around to sales pitches. But I do want to see some of those smaller towns so I might go with the same option.

Re: going directly to Fes–it was completely direct minus stopping for gas, snacks, etc. It was just us, the driver, and two other girls from our tour, so if you hired a private cab, I’m sure they’d be happy to stop in any smaller town you like (for a fee, of course).

Were most of the options you found 3days/2nights? Or did you see options for 4days/3nights as well? We booked our airbnbs in Marrakech and Fes but have 3 nights in between because we were thinking of doing a 4day/3night desert tour. But it seems like most of the tours leaving daily are 3days/2nights. Just wondering if we should book an extra day with either our Marrakech or Fes riad.

The 3 days/2 nights was definitely the most popular version on offer. There were a few people offering 2 day/1 night tours from Marrakech, but that is the only one other than the 3/2 that I remember.

I have seen plenty of tour operator websites offer the 4 day 3 night from Marrakech to Fes. I’m sure that literally any of the tour operators would be happy to give you that trip even if it isn’t listed on the website. I’m shopping for tour operators myself and I get the feeling that most of these are either one-man shows or just shell websites that sell the clients to the few bigger companies that exist….

I agree, Zee, the shell companies selling to bigger clients is pretty much what happens when buying in person, too.

There are some legit companies out there–I actually think the landscape has gotten a bit better/more competitive online in the last couple of years (I couldn’t find anything less than 200 USD/person in 2016).

But, as a general rule for tourism in Morocco, just about anything is possible… for a fee.

Have you heard of any experiences of people dealing with bedbugs from these desert trips? I read somewhere that the desert camps might have them.

I haven’t personally heard about that from our experiences in Morocco or from fellow travel friends, no–unfortunately, there’s always a small risk of bedbugs while traveling, but I haven’t heard anything to suggest the desert camps are particularly afflicted.

How much was the taxi ride from Merzouga to Fes? I am getting some quotes where they will take us from Marrakech to Fes for 135 Euros. I am wondering if it is worth it rather than paying for the ride to Fes separately.

Oh gosh–this one sent me back to my notes. We paid $60 USD for the taxi that took us to Fes. It wasn’t from Mergouza directly, they dropped us off at a town maybe an hour or two away?

Ok thanks for all the help. I am wondering now if I should pay a bit extra and go for a private tour. Do you remember how much those were going for? I am getting quotes for 250-300 Euros but obviously there’s other that are higher.

Private tour without a group? I’ve never looked into the prices for those, but 250-300 sounds pretty reasonable; that would put it about 2.5-3x the price of booking a group tour ahead of time.

When you do the 3 day/2 night desert trip starting in Fez, what time of day do you arrive in Marrakech at the end of the trip? Do you recommend the 4 day/3 night or is the first option just as fine. Lots of driving it seems, but everyone says it’s manageable. I am an older mom taking my soon to be 16 year old.

I’m honestly not sure on the ending time of the trip, but would estimate the end of the day–it’s a long drive back to the city. Personally, we though 3 days/2 nights was more than enough and wanted our time back after that. I would only consider the 4 day option if you review the itinerary and are very interested in the extra stops added in on the additional day. And yes, definitely lots of driving… and definitely worth it! 🙂

Just an update since you were so kind to answer all my questions. We ended up doing a private tour. It was a bit expensive at 260 Euros per person. But it was definitely the highlight of the trip. All the stops we made were very picturesque. The tour guide was spoke very good english and was very knowledgeable and made a lot of stops to take pictures. The place we stayed at the first night was a renovated kasbah overlooking the Dades valley, which was pleasant surprise. We did do shared group tours for day trip excursions to Ouzoud Valley and Essaouira from Marrakech, and it was great for those trips, but I am really glad we did not do a group tour for the desert trip.

Thanks for letting us know! So glad to hear that you ended up with a memorable and beautiful trip, and it’s good to hear that the splurge was worth it in your case, too–I’m sure you had an amazing time. 🙂

TR CAN YOU PLEASE ROVIDE THE CONTACT INFO FOR THE PRIVATE TOUR? THANKS

Hello, Could you please provide the info for the private tour company you used? What was the duration? A 4 day/3 night option or 3 days/2 nights?

Amazing Post! Thanks for sharing and keep up the amazing work.

Thanks, Mia!

Great article. I am headed on a 2 night / 3 day tour next friday, departing from marrakesh. I have always dreamed of going to the Sahara, but I am nervous that I am trying to shove a lot in to 3 days and it will result in a rushed desert experience and just be mostly the grueling 12 hour drives to and from Marrakesh. Should I wait to do a more leisurely tour at another point in my life? Or should I just deal with the drive and make sure I see it? Can’t decide! The experience cost me $200 USD and I can get a full refund still.

Thank you! Maria

If the tour is like ours (most of them follow the same itinerary), it will be pretty grueling, especially before getting to the desert, but the payoff is worth it! We had two camel rides, one into the desert and one back, each lasting nearly two hours, which is MORE than enough, trust me. We then spent one night in the desert getting the camp experience. That part honestly didn’t feel rushed at all, though of course everyone was exhausted.

If you can still get a full refund for your tour, I would suggest shopping around a bit, as $200 USD sounds high–the tour I link in this post is quite a bit cheaper, and if you book in Marrakech, it can be cheaper still (though I don’t necessarily recommend that if you’re concerned about the quality of the experience).

I can’t tell you what’s right for you, but I can say that our night in the desert is still one of the most memorable nights in all our travels, and the memories of the exhausting drives have faded with time. 😉

Sorry I just saw this. You can contact them at [email protected]

Hi, thanks for sharing this definitely was helpful. I was just curious of how the camp was set up. I only ask because the pictures I’ve seen so far seem to differ constantly.

I’d say this was a mid-range-ish camp, but the options definitely run the gamut. It was far from luxury, but not quite roughing it.

The structures were semi-permanent tents, and there were around 6 beds to a tent, I’d estimate? There were beds/cots, so you weren’t sleeping on the ground.

There was a separate tent for meals, and places to hang out outside set up nearby as well.

Hi Kate and Jeremy,

I would like to visit the desert in June/July 2020 before I head to UK. However I’m a first timer for a desert Traveller and have some questions to ask for a 4 days 3 nights solo backpacking trip:

Is there any phone signal throughout? If I were to make a call/message someone

I read online and it stated there are dangerous animals or reptiles like scorpions and snakes and cougars, etc. What’s the chances of meeting them? Did you guys encounter them?

If I were to rent one camel for my solo backpacker trip as my transportation would it be possible?

Is it still possible/recommendable to travel adventurously alone into the desert? If yes, how should i go about it? Like eg communicate with the desert locals?

Hi Joycelyn!

We absolutely would not recommend going alone into the desert. Having locals to guide the way is essential out there.

As I recall, there’s not any phone signal out there, but I imagine that varies depending on where you go. I wouldn’t count on having any, though.

We didn’t personally run into any dangerous animals out there, but they do exist!

Hope you have a great trip!

Thanks for your interesting blog. I have been reading blog after blog and am more confused. What tour company did you book with. Thanks.

Hi Alan! We booked in person, so we weren’t given a company name (pretty standard in Morocco). However, we’ve linked a reputable company in this post. 🙂

Hi Kate, I see the last comment on this post is more than two years old, but I thought I’d give it a shot. We are just starting to plan a trip to Morocco (think of October 2023, but not totally sure). I REALLY want to do a desert trip, but in one of your replies you mentioned it being grueling. I’ll be going with my son, who will be 5 when we go, and my mom, who is 66. Is it too hard for them? Also, the whole sharing tents with strangers creeps me out a bit — especially with my son. How many people were in your tent? Mind you, I’m not spring chicken either! LOL Thanks in advance! Juanita

Hi Juanita,

I’m still here! 🙂

It’s hard to say without knowing your family personally, but a desert tour definitely wouldn’t be the most comfortable thing any of you have ever done.

Riding the camels isn’t necessarily difficult in the sense that running up a hill is, but it’s uncomfortable, and we were all VERY sore by the end of our trek. The tour is also simply tiring, the pace is very quick and no one got fantastic sleep.

It was worth it, of course–years later I still count being in the Sahara at night among my most treasured travel memories–but it wasn’t exactly luxurious.

There were probably around 6-8 people in our tent if I remember correctly.

There are a few modifications or alternates you might consider if the 3 day/2 night tour sounds like a bit much for your group.

For example, you could book the 2 day/1 night tour so the experience is shorter, or you could book the ATV version of the tour, which includes sleeping in the desert but not camel riding.

There are also luxury camps that include private tents, though I don’t know of any names off the top of my head. I know plenty exist, though.

If an overnight seems like too much, you can get a taste of the desert experience and enjoy a shorter camel ride at the Palm Oasis outside of Marrakech–it’s not quite the same effect as Erg Chebbi is, but it’s much more accessible!

Thanks, Kate! I think we’re going to look into the “glamping” option! LOL Once in a lifetime, right? 😁

What people say about us

Surprising little gem

What a great experience! Our guides Rachid and Brahim have been extremely engaging with stories about the desert and songs under the stars.

The whole package was absolutely unforgettable: the ride on the dunes, the camels in the desert, the tea upon arrival, the camel ride, the fancy dinner and night under the stars, the songs, and the sunrise.

This is absolutely recommended, even for a family with children like ours

Buttrio, Italia

Wonderful experience in the desert

We did an overnight tour to the Sahara dunes, went to the camp, were served the traditional Moroccan meal and had a camel ride at the sunrise next day.

This was the most amazing part: strolling around the dunes, watching Sahara changing around us and listening to the blowing wind.

The team made our stay here really unforgettable. We would definitely recommended this company for any kind of organized trips. Thank you, guys!

Girls’ trip to Amazing Morroco

We were a group of 5 girls, from the US. This was our first time in Morroco.

We started from Casablanca down to Zagora with many stops on the way down. We enjoyed the beauty of the Atlas mountains, wandered around Aït Benhaddou, and visited Zagora.

The tour was excellent, and the highlight of our trip was the night in the camp at Erg Chigaga with camel ride and climbing the dunes to see the sunset. Great food all the time.

Younes was excellent and very patient with us. Next time I will come back with my family, highly recommended.

The highest temperature the Sahara has ever seen is 58 degrees Celsius. It gets cool temperatures from November to March at night and warmer during the day, hovering around 27°C and dropping dramatically to about 0°C at night. In the other months, the daytime temperature is usually about the same as that of the night, varying around 25 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Morocco officially has two languages (classical Arabic and Tamazight), but in daily life, it is another story, it’s a mixture of languages. Most Moroccans speak Darija and Berber in addition to other foreign languages. French seems to be the second language as it is a business language in the country. Most Moroccans also speak French and Spanish in the north of the country and in the Sahara. English is very popular among the young generation and workers in the tourism industry. Visit this page to learn more about the languages commonly spoken in Morocco

What They Say About Our Marrakech Desert Trips

We booked a private tour with Desert Morocco Adventure Tours from Fes to Marrakech for 4 days. It was an absolutely incredible trip. Our guide was great and spoke English very well. My husband and I had such a wonderful time and it is one of our favorite desert trips so far. The Sahara was breathtaking and Omar let us stop as often as we wanted for photos or breaks. Thank you for an incredible experience and hopefully, we will return to Morocco one day!

Outstanding experience and excellent services ever! The places we visited during our desert tour were wonderful with beautiful scenery. The camel ride was amazing and the sunset in the desert is one of the highlights of our tour to the Sahara desert. Our guide was super friendly and helpful! The four-wheel vehicle was very comfortable and had an air-conditioning system. I strongly recommend Desert Morocco Adventure’s Marrakech 3-day desert trip!

I traveled two times to Morocco, and both times I trusted Desert Morocco Adventure to organize my trip, like driver and guide, host, and sharing different activities. On the first trip, I stayed with Desert Morocco Adventure for 4 days, and on the second trip for 8 days.

I went to Morocco last Christmas and contacted Desert Morocco Adventure for a trip to the desert. It was a great experience and Youssef is the best conductor. Very recommendable! Thanks for everything

Desert Morocco Adventure gave us a great day out where we got to see many things we would not have found independently such as the Fint Oasis near Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou. Ahmed is a really informative guide.

The Perfect 3 Day Sahara Desert Tour in Morocco

Disclaimer: My 3 Day Sahara Desert tour in Morocco was sponsored by Get Your Guide. All  opinions are my own. 

I gazed out at the sea of golden sand dunes spread in front of me, stretching further than I could see. The ‘Arabian Nights’ song from Aladdin circled through my head as I watched the sun sunk lower, turning the sand into a burnt orange colour as it came closer to disappearing behind a sand dune. Sunset in the Sahara was a pretty magical experience and after spending more than 2 weeks in Morocco, I can easily say that our Sahara Desert tour in Morocco with Get You Guide   was easily the highlight of my Moroccan experience.

Why Get Your Guide for a Sahara Desert Tour?

If you are familiar with this blog, you’ll no doubt recognize Get Your Guide from my others posts. This global travel company offers tours around the world, and I’m a big fan. I did my first tour with them in the Douro Valley of Portugal in 2017 and have since been hooked and recommend them to everyone I know. The guides are great and trusted, it’s safe, and its good value.

There is no shortage of tour companies offering Sahara Desert tours in Morocco. You can book online in advance, with a travel agent, or even wait until you arrive to find a deal. But, here’s the thing. They are not all of equal value.

As I read through articles and discussion boards for a good Sahara Desert tour I found more bad than good. People paying ridiculous amounts of money for the most basic necessities. People who had horrible guides who made them feel unsafe or didn’t speak English, and all around just bad experiences.

Camping in the Sahara was something I wanted to do for ages and I wanted a good experience. No, I couldn’t afford the luxury $1000+/night camps but I didn’t think I’d have to settle for something cheap and uncomfortable either. Which is why I turned to Get Your Guide. After so many great experiences with them in other countries, I trusted their tours and their team to provide me with a fun and safe Sahara Desert tour at a reasonable price. And they did.

Tips for Choosing a Sahara Desert Tour

  On top of there being a seemingly innumerable number of tour companies offering Sahara Desert Tours, there are different types of tours as well. One of the first things you need to consider is the level of quality. Generally speaking, the cheaper it is the more basic it is. That being said, I heard several stories of people paying hundreds of euros for a very basic tour when they left booking til the last minute in Morocco and got scammed by the tour companies.

Another very important factor to consider is how long do you want your tour to be? Many companies offer 2 day tours but what most visitors don’t realize is that these don’t actually go to the Sahara Desert, they go to Zagora- which is still a desert but if you come to Morocco for a proper Sahara Desert experience, you’ll need at least three days because it is so far. To make sure you are actually going to the Sahara Desert, you’ll want to make sure the itinerary includes Merzouga which is the gateway to the Sahara.

A third factor worth considering is start and end destinations. Most tours start and end in Marrakech, which is fine but, if you are like me, you don’t want to waste your time backtracking. This was another reason why I chose Get Your Guide- they offer tours that start in Fes and end in Marrakech   (what we did) or start in Marrakech and end in Fes   so that you can maximize your time exploring rather than adding more travel.

Our 3 Day Sahara Desert Tour with Get Your Guide: Fez to Marrakech

Day 1: Fes to the Sahara Camp

Our tour started at 8am on our first day. Our guide and driver, Abdul, picked us up from our Riad in Fez where we joined three other travellers; an Irish/Chinese couple currently living in the USA and a solo man from Belgium. The five of us sat comfortably in a large mini-van as we drove out of the city and headed towards the Atlas Mountains.

One of the things everyone tells you for a Sahara Desert tour is how much driving it is. But, it’s one thing to read that and entirely another thing to sit in a car for 8-9 hours every day and really experience it. Let me re-iterate: a Sahara Desert tour is A LOT of driving. But, it’s 100% worth it.

Our guide, Abdul, was also fantastic in recognizing this. He’d make stops along the way for sites or just viewpoints to take a photo. He’d check in on us to see if we were hungry and wanted lunch, or if we needed a bathroom break. It also helped that the scenery was pretty stunning too. We went in May and the fields were blooming with wildflowers; red poppies, pink roses, and all kinds of other flowers. It was gorgeous.

The first day was a bit of a race to get to the Sahara Desert in time for a sunset camel ride, but we still made a couple of scenic stops to see the monkeys, the mountains, and lush oases as we made our way to the desert.

When we arrived we were welcomed with mint tea then led to our camels. Camel riding is not something I have ever done and I was worried. Ethical animal tourism is important to me and I refused to ride them in both Egypt and Jordan after seeing how they were treated. However, I was incredibly impressed at how the camels on our Sahara Desert tour looked and were treated in front of us.

There were no lash marks or scars, they were clean (except for bits of hay, because they were sitting in it before we left), and before we geared up, they were free to roam and not tied up when not being used. One didn’t really want to get up, but the guide was gentle and coaxed him up slowly, letting the camel take its time.

The camels also only seemed to be used twice a day for riding. Once at sunset for about 30-40 minutes then a 10-minute ride in the morning. Granted, this is only what I saw during my short time, however, after seeing how camels were treated in other countries, I was honestly happy and impressed with what I saw. These camels seemed to be well cared for pets more than just a means of making money.

Riding a camel was…interesting. Not as bad as I thought but my butt definitely hurt after. However, it was pretty cool to ride them out to a sand dune, watch the sunset, and come back to our camp at dusk.

Speaking of desert camp, it was WAY more than I anticipated. I thought we’d have a basic tent with a communal toilet but instead each tent was done up in bright colours with its own toilet and shower. Like all beds in Morocco, it was very firm, but I was impressed at how nice it was. After a group dinner (one of the best tagines I had in Morocco) and some music and star gazing we went to bed.

Day 2: Sahara Camp to Ouarzazate

Day two was an early 5am start to watch the sunrise over the sand dunes. After a quick breakfast we packed up, rode the camels a short distance to the jeep and began the long drive of day 2.

Day two was another 9 hours or so of driving, but this time we had more stops and breaks along the way for scenic points and views. The main highlight of the day was Todres Gorge which, while cool, wasn’t the highlight for me on the trip. However, the drive was very scenic.

We also stopped for a short bit in a very traditional Moroccan town where a local man gave us a tour of the winding streets and markets. It was completely different than anywhere else we visited on the trip, and not somewhere I ever would have known about or gone to on my own. While it was a bit too traditional for me (arranged marriages and local woman having to dress certain ways to display whether they were available or not), it was fascinating to see and learn about.

We ended day two in Ouarzazate; a nice hotel with big rooms and a pool for all of us to enjoy. It was a lazy evening that we all enjoyed after spending another long day in the van.

Day 3: Ourzazate to Marrakech

The final day of our Sahara Desert tour took us from Ouarzazate to Marrakech. We left around 8:30am after breakfast and began the 8-hour drive. In my opinion, this was the most beautiful drive of our trip. We travelled along the road of 1000 Kasbah’s which winds its way through the mountains. Along the way we stopped at the famous Ben Ait Haddou (filming location for Game of Thrones and Gladiator) as well as for several photo stops.

The mountain pass was beautiful with small villages and Kasbahs dotting the valleys in-between. Several looked abandoned until you saw a satellite dish peeking out from the rooftop. We stopped for a herd of over a hundred goats and laughed when we saw a local herder carrying tiny baby goats in the saddlebags on his donkey. While my butt was a little sore still from the camel and all the sitting in the car, I absolutely loved the drive back to Marrakech.

So, Do I Recommend the 3 Day Sahara Tour from Fez to Marrakech with Get Your Guide?

Absolutely. As you can tell from above, it is a lot of driving and car time but it is so worth it. Honestly, I don’t think you can come to Morocco without a visit to the Sahara Desert and this is the perfect way to have the experience. Everything was above my expectations, I felt safe the entire time (a nice change since Morocco was the most difficult place I have been to ) and our guide, Abdul, was fantastic and spoke excellent English.

It was a great experience and a definite highlight of my time in Morocco. So, if you are headed to Morocco as well and looking for a safe, fun, and good quality Sahara Desert tour then definitely take a look at this one.

This was my tour from Fes to Marrakech or, you can do the reverse from Marrakech to Fes here.

Tripadvisor staff has removed this post because it did not meet Tripadvisor's forum guidelines with regards to off-topic chat.

Agreed. Overly gushing reviews of an establishment or service would be more appropriate as a tripadvisor review than as a forum post.

Wading through numerous lengthy, gushing and repetitive posts, especially on a tour guide, is incredibly off putting and is not in keeping with the spirit of travel advice.

Some people like to explore on the own and some people want a tour company to arrange it all for them.

Neither is wrong. Different people travel differently. And that is absolutely ok.

What is not ok to me and others is the disrespect and unkindness and throwing hate because you don’t like, let’s say, tour companies in this case…this is not ok, productive and quite honestly immmature.

I seldom read these forums anymore as the toxicity in some of the “regular” posters in is too much. My time and life is too valuable to Ingest all the negativity.

To the original poster - anyone on this thread who has positive things to say, I would contact them directly.

To the haters - I hope you can find a bit of happiness in your life as how you communicate on here doesn’t show that.

Ok , I have remained silent here, but I must call shenanigans here.

There are just too many things that do not come off as right here. It is not fair.

"for 9 years and have been extremely pleased. Obviously - 9 years every year several times a year."

Seriously , you expect anyone is going to believe that you are not connected with or know Ibouyecho.

But the real problem here is why would the owner of a Moroccan tour company hire and use another tour company. There is no way I can believe that you , as a Moroccan tour company owner would be hiring a competitor to do what you can do for free.

For this reason I would also have to say avoid this company.

"I seldom read these forums anymore as the toxicity"

Just as toxic as all the fake reviews posted on TripAdvisor.

"To the haters - I hope you can find a bit of happiness in your life as how you communicate on here doesn’t show that."

Totally not a hater here, but I do not like the unfairness in false reviews.

Are you denying you own a tour company? Are you denying you are not associated with Ibouyecho.

https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attraction_Review-g293737-d8838799-Reviews-Follow_Your_Heart_Travel_Experiences-Tangier_Tanger_Tetouan_Al_Hoceima.html

Please stop the charade.

To others my opinion would be to avoid this company.

I have not denied anything. You may assume anything you like. :) good day to you too!

PS - I have not denied any of the things you are throwing at me - yes I have relationship with the tour company. I also own my own tour company that does curated trips in various countries using local operators in each country.

You do your travel and business one way and I’ll do mine mine and everyone does theirs how they do there’s.

Tearing down people, for no reason other than for your own gain… That to me is not productive.

I have nothing more to say to any of this.

Shhh, I’m on vacation. Travelers are on a quest for the quiet

At home in the New York City suburbs, Oscar Sandoval has lots of friends and an active social life. But when it’s time for vacation, he prefers to keep it quiet. Like, literally.

Sandoval began practicing Zen Buddhism a few years back, and has been on silent retreats to Buddhist monasteries around San Francisco and elsewhere. He’d stroll, sit, do some gardening and generally contemplate life for a week. More recently, he’s done solo backpacking trips across Spain.

“The internal experience varies from times of very little thinking to periods of many thoughts or songs playing in my head,” he says. “The utter peace and stillness is impossible to put into words.”

Travel journalist Chloe Berge bemoaned the buzzing interruption of a drone while she was hiking the Faroe Islands’ remote coastline during the pandemic. “The world is getting louder, and it’s increasingly harder to escape the noise, even in nature.”

But it’s worth a try, say the travelers who are seeking relief in silence. Or as close as they can get to it.

From serene nature retreats to silent walking, the quest for quietude has become one of modern travel’s latest trends. Conde Nast Traveler said last month it was “the travel trend we’re most obsessed with this year.”

For many, quiet travel goes beyond escaping the cacophony of everyday life while on vacation. It can be a shift toward introspection; a deeper connection with where we are both literally and figuratively.

You might even feel healthier .

In a study published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry in late 2022, for instance, mindfulness meditation worked as well as a standard drug for treating anxiety.

“Transformative travel’s a trend we’re tracking for growth,” says Alex Hawkins, editor at the trend forecaster and consultancy The Future Laboratory. “It taps into consumers’ desire for self-reflective tourism experiences.”

The “wellness tourism industry,” he says, includes “demand for hyper-personal holidays and health-driven stays.”

PEACEFUL PAMPERING

The company Dark Retreats Oregon offers a five-day “Dark Retreat” in Tidewater, Oregon, as “a great space for self-care” through darkness, digital detox and a healthy diet. Participants can keep the lights off as much as they want during their stay, and can also decide how much they talk to others.

BookRetreats, which urges clients to “Unplug. De-stress. Recharge,” offers silent meditation retreats in Bali, Portugal, Mexico and the Netherlands, and closer to home in North Carolina, Quebec and California.

Finland’s Utula Nature offers a silent stay amidst the pines on Lake Saimaa, about five hours from Helsinki.

SERENE STROLLING

Ditching the phone, zipping your lip, and putting on your comfy hikers; that’s the silent walking trend that’s found thousands of friends on TikTok.

Gordon Hempton is an acoustic ecologist in Washington State also known as The Sound Tracker. He’s spent several decades roaming rainforests, coastlines and deserts looking for interesting and often rare nature sounds — sounds you can’t easily hear when there’s a lot of human-made noise. “I care very deeply about quiet,” he says.

He’s a co-founder of Quiet Parks International, a non-profit created to raise awareness of the benefits for both people and wildlife of less noise. Ecuador’s Zabalo River park was the first to receive quiet park designation – it’s not technically “quiet,” of course: Howler monkeys, birds, insects and the thrum of the river provide a natural soundtrack. But the nearest concentration of human activity is a village of roughly 200 people, about 10 miles away.

There are even a couple of urban areas designated as quiet parks – one just outside the bustling metropolis of Taipei, Taiwan’s capital. Another is in Hampstead Heath, about 30 miles from central London. The grassy, 800-acre park inspired C.S. Lewis’ “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

Quiet Parks International offers experiences like forest bathing , where you open your senses to the meditative and relaxing elements of a walk in the woods.

For those who can’t get out to nature, the Quiet Parks website has recordings of wildlife and weather in the rainforest; morning in the West Texas desert; and sounds of day and nightfall in northern Alaska.

LOW-KEY LOST

Black Tomato’s got an interesting proposition for you. The avant-garde travel company offers a trip they call Get Lost. You fill out an extensive questionnaire on what you’re expecting from your escape, but you’ll have no idea where you’re going till they get you there. Environment options are Polar, Desert, Coastal, Jungle or Mountain.

You’re given pre-trip prep advice and navigation instruction, and then, at trip time, all the transfers, gear and mapped-out checkpoints you’ll need. Your progress is monitored by a specialist in the chosen environment and by a local guiding support team. You can bail out at any time.

“We’ve sent clients to Iceland and Alaska,” says Black Tomato’s co-founder Tom Marchant. “We sent one solo traveler to Mongolia.” A woman trekked on her own across Morocco’s Atlas Mountains.

Marchant says there’s the challenge of managing the environment, but “it’s also a time to truly disconnect from daily life in an entirely new way.”
