Luxury vs. Budget Desert Tours in Morocco

Morocco Desert Tours

Depending on your travel preferences and financial constraints, you can choose between luxury and low-cost desert tours in Morocco. Luxury desert tours offer high-end accommodations in luxury desert camps with private tents, en-suite bathrooms, plush bedding, and gourmet dining. Transportation is in a comfortable private 4×4 vehicle, and exclusive experiences like private camel treks, quad biking, and Berber entertainment are included. In contrast, budget desert tours provide a more authentic yet basic experience, with shared tents or simple rooms, communal bathrooms, and group transport in a minibus or van. Meals are traditional but simpler, and activities are typically limited to a group camel ride and a campfire with Berber music. While luxury tours prioritize comfort, privacy, and exclusive experiences, budget tours offer an affordable and adventurous way to explore the stunning Moroccan desert. Whether you seek indulgence or authenticity, both options promise an unforgettable Morocco Desert Tour.

Our Trip with Authentic Sahara Tours (AST)

We highly recommend this tour with AST if you want a profound experience of Moroccan nature, culture, and history. Driving from Fez to Marrakesh is especially rewarding, as it provides a true sense of the enormity and beauty of this geographically diverse and culturally rich country. We worked with AST to expand the traditional 3-day Sahara trip to include additional stops as we traveled from Fez to Marrakesh through the mountains.

Excellent company, staff, and tour.

We had a 3-day tour from Fez to Marrakesh with one night in the desert, and it was an extraordinary experience. The agency and Lahcen were perfect in terms of organization and communication, providing all the info we needed quickly and accurately. They are 100% trustworthy. All the staff were very friendly, and we felt extremely comfortable with them. Mohamed (Muha), our guide and driver, took us everywhere, provided lots of useful information, and made the trip unforgettable.

Morocco Desert Tours Guide: Common Questions & Answers
What is the best time of year to visit the Moroccan desert?

 The best time to visit the Moroccan desert is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the temperatures are milder. Summers can be extremely hot, especially in the daytime, while winters can be cold, particularly at night.

 It’s recommended to bring comfortable clothing, a hat or scarf for sun protection, sunglasses, sunscreen, a flashlight, and warm layers for the chilly desert nights. Also, don’t forget a camera to capture the stunning landscapes.

 Morocco Desert tours can range from a 1-night stay to multi-day tours (2, 3, or more days). More places, like Todra Gorge, Dades Valley, and Merzouga, can be explored on longer desert tours

 Authentic Sahara Tours customizes desert tours to suit your expectations and preferences. To design your perfect journey, please check out our tailor-made request form.

 Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga are two of the most famous dune areas in Morocco. Erg Chebbi, near Merzouga, is more accessible and popular with tourists, featuring tall dunes and luxury camps. Erg Chigaga is more remote, offering a wilder and more authentic desert experience with fewer tourists.

You can join our guided Morocco desert tours, which include transportation between Marrakech and Fes, with a stop for one night in Dades Valley and two nights in the Merzouga desert. Either way around, the tour can be scheduled.

 Typically, breakfast and dinner are included in our Morocco desert tour packages, especially during the overnight stays at the desert camps. Lunch is often not included but can be arranged at local restaurants along the route.

 Luxury desert camps offer electricity and limited WiFi access, but in more traditional camps, electricity might be limited to certain hours, and there is no WiFi. 

 Yes, it’s recommended to have travel insurance that covers activities you might participate in during the tour, such as camel trekking and off-road driving. Ensure your policy covers medical expenses and emergencies

Yes, many Morocco desert tours are family-friendly and suitable for children. For a more enjoyable experience, it’s advisable to select a tour that minimizes long drives and allows plenty of time to explore and engage with the Sahara Desert.

Morocco Desert camps range from simple setups with shared amenities to more luxurious options featuring private tents with en-suite bathrooms. Regardless of the level of comfort, all camps provide the chance to immerse yourself in local culture, enjoy traditional music, and marvel at the breathtaking night sky filled with stars

Yes, camel rides are generally safe, especially when you follow the instructions provided by your tour guide. It’s also important to choose a reputable tour operator that prioritizes animal welfare, ensuring the camels are well-treated and not overworked
