Camel Caravan Desert Trek: Erg Chebbi
This tour is for those with limited time in Morocco and whose main goal is to experience the desert. It includes two nights in the desert: one night in a desert hotel and one night in a Moroccan tent camp. Because the desert is a full day’s drive from Marrakech, an additional night is arranged part-way, either to or from the desert (your choice), to provide opportunities to visit sights of interest along the route. NOTE: The tour itinerary is presented as a Marrakech-Sahara-Marrakech program, but this tour can also be organized departing from and returning to Fes, or one way departing from Marrakech and ending in Fes or the reverse. Departures from Casablanca: Add one day.

Spring (mid-March to end of May) or Fall (mid-September to end of November) are best. Avoid the desert from mid-June to mid-September. Coastal regions and northern Morocco can be cool from late fall to early spring, and high mountain regions may experience snow.
