Frequently asked questions
What experiences are included in the “Morocco Desert Tours”?
The tours take you into Morocco’s desert landscapes, visits to vast dunes like Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga, camel rides, overnight stays in desert camps under the stars, plus journeys through the High Atlas Mountains, palm-valleys, kasbahs and nomadic villages.
When is the best time to go on a desert tour and what should I prepare?
The best seasons are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when temperatures are comfortable and daylight hours favourable. If you travel in summer expect very high heat; in winter nights can be very cold in the desert. Be sure to pack layers (warm jacket for evening), sun-protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and a comfortable pair of shoes for sand and dunes.
