Sahara Desert Tours

Private Sahara desert tours from Morocco Private Escape: camel treks into the dunes, nights in a desert camp, and real desert culture, guided by founders who grew up in the Sahara.

Sahara & Desert

Sleep Under the Stars in the Sahara

Our Sahara desert tours are the trip closest to home for us. This is the landscape we grew up in, and we plan every desert leg of your journey around giving you a real, unhurried experience of it — not a quick photo stop on a big bus route.

A typical desert tour combines travel through the Atlas Mountains or the Dades and Todra valleys with a camel trek into the dunes near Merzouga and a night in a private desert camp, followed by time to watch the sunrise over the erg before heading back.

Everything here is private and flexible: the pace, the route in and out of the desert, and how many days you spend in the Sahara are all built around your trip.

Trip Highlights

  • Camel trek into the Sahara dunes
  • A night in a private desert camp
  • Sunset and sunrise over the erg
  • Traditional music and fire evenings
  • Private driver and guide throughout
  • Routes via the Atlas Mountains and Kasbahs
