However for those a bit more intrepid, with a bit more time, and wanting something more off the beaten path, keep reading for a second desert excursion option.
9. Camel Treks and Camping in the Moroccan Desert
One of the best tours of Morocco is taking a three-day adventure from Marrakech to Merzouga across the Sahara Desert.
On your journey you will be able to witness the impressive Atlas Mountains, enjoy the sunrise and sunset camel rides, stay overnight in a classic Berber tent, take guided tours of both the Tinghir oasis and Todra gorges and visit Ait Ben Haddou with a guide to name just a few of the activities.
Another fantastic option is spending the night deep in the heart of the Sahara Desert in a location that you have traveled to by camel. Picture dining around a campfire to the music of drums before sleeping under a canopy of stars.
An incredible addition while in Merzouga is to add a 4×4 Morocco tour—one of the best ways to take in the desert scenery. On your trip, you will visit the village of Khamlia, play traditional instruments and experience local culture by visiting a Berber family in their home for lunch.
Start your journey at Fes before embarking on a 2-day small group tour of the Sahara Desert.
On this Morocco tour, you will truly get a sense of the African wilderness as you spend the night at an authentic Berber camp and ride a camel across the dunes.
Other highlights of the trip include driving through a cedar forest to see the resident monkeys and watching the sunrise of the dunes in one of the most unique places in the world.
While Merzouga may be the popular desert spot, it’s certainly not the only one. M’hamid, a bit more south, is another entrance to the Sahara and one that is far wilder than its sister. The Erg Chebbi sand dunes in Merzouga are a bit bigger but Erg Chigaga outside of M’hamid takes more effort, features far fewer crowds, and is still a stunner.
Many of the activities are the same in terms of Berber drum circles, camel rides, exploring the sand dunes, stargazing etc… but the experience is a lot more quaint and personal as it’s not as commercialized as Merzouga and because of the effort it takes to get there, there’s more of sense of adventure being truly in the wild.
