FAQ

How many days should I plan for a desert tour from Marrakech?

Most travelers choose a 2-day / 1-night tour to reach the Chegaga dunes and enjoy a full desert experience. Shorter 2-day tours to Chegaga are possible but involve more driving. Longer itineraries (4–5 days) allow for a slower pace with extra stops in valleys and kasbahs.

What kind of accommodation is included on tours?

Accommodation depends on your chosen package. Standard tours include comfortable hotels or riads along the way and a desert camp in shared or private tents. Luxury upgrades are available with ensuite tents, hot showers, and private dining areas under the stars.

Do the tours include camel rides in the desert?

Yes, all of our Sahara tours include a sunset and/or sunrise camel trek across the dunes. For those who prefer, 4×4 vehicles can be arranged for dune transfers.

What should I pack for a desert tour?

We recommend bringing:

  • Light clothing for the day, warm layers for cool desert nights

  • Comfortable walking shoes

  • A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen

  • A small backpack for essentials (water, snacks, camera)
    Large luggage can be safely stored in the vehicle or at the camp.
