Overview

About This Tour

Ride camels over the Erg Chebbi dunes as the sand turns gold, then sleep in a lantern-lit Berber camp while drummers play and the Milky Way rises overhead.

This is slow Morocco: mint tea with nomad families, sandboarding at noon, fossil beds at dusk, and a sky so dark the stars cast shadows.

Day By Day

  1. Day 1 — Marrakech to the High Atlas: kasbahs, Todra Gorge, and a desert-gate hotel.

  2. Day 2 — Into the dunes: camel caravan at sunset, Berber camp, drums and dinner.

  3. Day 3 — Desert dawn: sunrise over the erg, sandboarding, nomad tea ceremony.

  4. Day 4 — Return via palm valleys with lunch in a riad before Marrakech.

Tour FAQs

How hot does it get?

Summer days pass 40°C, so we trek at dawn and dusk and rest at noon. October–April is ideal.

Are the camp bathrooms real?

Yes — proper beds, en-suite toilets, and hot bucket showers in the luxury tents.

Can kids join?

Children 6+ love it. Camels are gentle and the walk can be shortened any time.
