Details & Itinerary
Unforgettable journeys & vacations : Prepare yourself to live a beautiful experience in the wide Sahara Desert with its stunning sand dunes, rock chains and nomadic life.
Camel-Trekking in Merzouga:
Imagine yourself on a top camel, trekking through the Sahara Desert. There is nothing around you and all you can hear is the footsteps of the camel on the soft sand. The sky is wide and clear during the day and filled with millions of bright stars at night… very peaceful experience worthy to live.
Enjoying scenery Kasbahs and golden sand dunes, lush fertile oases, and serrated mountain summits views.
Spend night under nomadic tents and feel the mysterious power of Sahara.
The dunes of Erg Chebbi near Merzouga is 30 miles (50km) south east of Erfoud and has the highest and most spectacular sand dunes in Morocco. These golden dunes are 50 meters high from the desert floor.
This ocean of pure Saharan sand provides the back drop to an authentic Arabian adventure which involves a camel trek across the dunes to a secluded oasis, where an authentic spicy Berber Tagine is being prepared over an open fire by Bedouin tents.
You will have the chance to explore a magnificent desert landscape – if you’re feeling energetic you can climb the dunes for sunrise or sunset to watch the light and color of the sands change.

Best time to visit Morocco
The climate in Morocco varies wildly according to the season and area of travel. In the lowlands, the cooler months from October to April are popular among visitors. This time of year is pleasantly warm to hot (around 30°C) during the day and cool to cold (around 15°C) at night. Winter in the higher regions often brings snow and can therefore get seriously cold, particularly at night. Tourists flock to the coastline from June to September for fun in the sun, with warm mostly rain-free days. Further inland it can get hot and rain is rare, which makes the best times to travel March to June and September to December.
Morocco Culture & Customs
Morocco's culture has developed over centuries of influence from far and wide. Contemporary Morocco is a fascinating mix of Berber, Mediterranean, Andalucian, and African traditions, which are present in the cuisine, clothing, music, language, customs, and lifestyle. As an Islamic country, most Moroccans are Muslim; however, there are small populations of people who practice Judaism and Christianity. Classic examples of Islamic architecture can be observed all throughout the country and tenets of the Islamic religion are carried out in the customs and lives of the people. The 'Call to Prayer' can be heard five times a day, women are expected to dress modestly and alcohol isn't drunk by most of the population.
Most of Moroccan society can be considered traditional, with respect for elders, connection to family, and giving alms to the poor hallmarks of everyday life for many Moroccans. Hospitality is another important element of society, with warmly welcoming people into your home a time-honored tradition and social responsibility that dates back centuries.
Vegetarian and Vegan Options in Morocco ?
Much of Morocco's cuisine revolves around meat, but vegetables are an important staple and a crucial ingredient in many dishes of the Maghreb. Your diet can consist of more than just flatbread and hummus – trust us. Keep an eye out for vegetable-based tagines and couscous, the renowned Zaalouk (a smokey eggplant and tomato salad), vegetable Briouats (triangular-filled pastries), and cinnamon oranges. Vegan options are slightly more limited, as many of the pieces of bread and couscous dishes have butter added to them, but your best bet is to enquire if yours can be made using oil instead. Otherwise, it's easy to dine well on varied vege offerings in Morocco.
