Tours to Sahara Desert: Morocco’s Ultimate Desert Adventure
Top 5 things to DO in Sahara Desert
Camel Trekking Across the Dunes
One of the most iconic experiences on Sahara Desert trips in Morocco is a camel trek through the mesmerizing dunes of Erg Chebbi near Merzouga or Erg Chigaga near M’Hamid. As you ride a camel across vast golden sands, you’ll feel transported back in time, following ancient nomadic routes. These guided treks often include photo stops, tea with locals, and panoramic views of the Sahara's ever-changing landscape.
Overnight Stay in a Berber Desert Camp
No Morocco Sahara Desert trip is complete without an overnight stay in a traditional Berber desert camp. Nestled deep in the dunes of Erg Chebbi or the remote areas of Erg Chigaga, these camps offer a rare chance to disconnect and experience authentic Berber hospitality. Sleep in cozy tents, enjoy local dishes, and listen to live drumming around a campfire under the stars—an unforgettable highlight of Sahara tours from Marrakech or Fes.
Sandboarding on the Dunes
If you’re looking for adventure during your Sahara Desert Morocco experience, try sandboarding down the dramatic slopes of Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga. Often included in Sahara Desert adventure tours, this activity is thrilling, fun, and suitable for all ages. Glide down the warm dunes just like you would on snow, with a backdrop of breathtaking desert scenery.
Stargazing in the Clear Desert Sky
One of the best-kept secrets of Sahara Desert trips from Morocco is the incredible stargazing. Far from city lights, the desert skies above Merzouga, Zagora, or M’Hamid El Ghizlane offer a crystal-clear view of the stars, constellations, and even the Milky Way. After a peaceful dinner at your desert camp, lie back and gaze up at one of the most spectacular night skies on earth.
4×4 Off-Road Desert Adventures
For those seeking more exploration during their Sahara Desert tours in Morocco, 4x4 off-road adventures through the rugged dunes and rocky desert plateaus are a must. Drive across the Hamadas (stone deserts) and through ancient caravan routes connecting Zagora, Tamegroute, and the oasis villages near Erg Chigaga. These guided tours often combine culture, history, and natural beauty for a deep dive into the spirit of the Moroccan Sahara.

Is Morocco a safe destination for travelers?
Morocco is generally safe for travelers, but like any destination, it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings. Stick to well-known tourist areas, avoid isolated spots, and use reputable transportation. Petty theft can occur, so take basic precautions, like securing your belongings and using hotel safes.
Do I need a visa to travel to Morocco?
For most North American travelers, including those from the United States and Canada, a visa is not required for stays of up to 90 days. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay in Morocco and always check for any recent updates before traveling.
What is the best time to visit Morocco?
The best time to visit Morocco is during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November), when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summer can be extremely hot, especially in desert areas, while winter can bring cooler temperatures, particularly in the mountains.
What currency is used in Morocco?
Morocco uses the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). While credit cards are accepted in most major cities, especially in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, it’s a good idea to carry some cash for smaller purchases, especially in rural areas. ATMs are widely available in larger cities for cash withdrawals.
What are the top attractions to visit?
Top attractions in Morocco include the bustling markets of Marrakech, the historical Fes medina, the blue streets of Chefchaouen, the ancient ruins of Volubilis, the Sahara Desert for camel trekking, and the coastal city of Essaouira. Each destination offers a unique glimpse into Morocco’s rich culture and history.
What should I wear when traveling?
Morocco has a conservative dress code, especially in rural and religious areas. North American travelers should wear modest clothing, covering shoulders and knees. In cities like Marrakech, casual wear is acceptable, but it’s best to avoid very revealing or flashy clothing. Comfortable shoes are essential for exploring the cities and markets.
