Joining a Morocco desert tour that includes a camel ride across the sand dunes should be on everyone’s bucket list while visiting Morocco. All of our desert trips include riding camels and spending at least one-night camping in the desert, enjoying the Sahara’s sunset, sunrise, and many other extra activities, such as Sandboarding, ATV, and Dune Buggy excursions.
You can join one of our treks for several days into the desert, discovering the hidden parts of the Sahara, staying in standard camps, with a nomad family, exploring their way of life, or even in luxurious glamping. To see the real Sahara with undulating golden sand dunes you must visit Erg Chebbi or Erg Chegaga or book one of our Morocco desert tours that includes both of the ergs. These two places seem just like what you’d expect to see when visiting the Sahara.
The Sahara Desert
To someone who has never seen The Sahara desert, it’s difficult to express the sensation of approaching one. What you witness is a drying landscape, browning soil, and the gradual disappearance of trees and plants. Suddenly golden dunes appear like a mirage out of nowhere quite quickly.
A huge horizon of golden waves that appears to have neither beginning nor end. It’s simple to display photographs and type text, but expressing emotion is more challenging. Perhaps it’s one of those things you simply have to see for yourself, like the first time you see the ocean.
The Sahara Desert covers a big part of Morocco, but it doesn’t always look like what you might expect from a Moroccan desert. Instead, you’ll find a large, flat area with lots of dusty orange sand in many places.
