    FAQ
    3 DAYS DESERT TRIP FROM MARRAKECH

    What is the best time of year to take this Sahara desert tour?

    The most pleasant times are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when daytime temperatures are warm and nights are comfortable. Summers can be extremely hot in the desert, while winters bring cold nights. The tour operates year-round, and each season offers a unique experience.

    What should I pack for the overnight in the desert camp?

    Essentials include comfortable clothing (light layers for day, a warm jacket for night), sturdy shoes, a scarf for sun/dust, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, a camera, and a flashlight or headlamp. For the camel trek, a small backpack is recommended. All main luggage will remain secured in the vehicle.

    Are there bathroom facilities at the desert camp?

    Yes, our premium desert camps provide shared bathroom facilities with basic toilets and showers. Please note that while they are clean and functional, amenities are simpler than in a city hotel, in keeping with the remote desert environment. We recommend bringing personal toiletries.

    Is this tour suitable for children or travelers with limited mobility?

    The tour involves some walking over uneven terrain (e.g., in Ait Ben Haddou and Todra Gorges) and the camel ride, which requires mounting/dismounting. While we welcome families, very young children or those with significant mobility concerns may find parts challenging. Please contact us to discuss private vehicle adjustments or alternative arrangements to best accommodate your needs.

    Note on Customization:

    The tours we offer are examples of our most popular journeys. However, Morocco is best experienced at your own pace and interest. If you have different dates, destinations, or specific requirements, please contact us. We will happily customize a private itinerary—adjusting durations, accommodations, activities, or routes—to ensure your trip is exactly as you envision.
