Day one crosses the Tizi n'Tichka Pass to Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate, and day two continues through the Valley of Roses and Todra Gorges to Merzouga on the edge of the Sahara. Day three is dedicated to Erg Chebbi itself, meeting desert nomads and visiting Khamlia village for Gnawa music before a camel trek to a Berber desert camp for the night. The return route follows the Draa Valley through Zagora, with a final stop at an argan oil cooperative before arriving back in Marrakech on day five, and an airport or accommodation transfer on day six. 🌟 Why Choose Us Unlike a shorter desert dash, this trip is graded easy and built around comfortable driving days, quality accommodation and a genuine cultural programme alongside the desert scenery, making it accessible to most travellers regardless of trekking experience. An English-speaking guide and driver lead throughout, with accommodation ranging from hotels and riads to a desert lodge and traditional Berber camp. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 5 nights accommodation (hotels, riads, desert lodge and desert camp) English-speaking guide and driver Camel trek into the dunes of Erg Chebbi Private transport throughout the itinerary Breakfast daily and meals as described in the itinerary ### What’s not included Flights Travel insurance Guide and driver gratuities Personal expenses Meals not specified in the itinerary Transport to and from the meeting point before pickup and after final drop-off ### Kit list Light, breathable clothing for warm desert days Warm layers for cool desert evenings Comfortable walking shoes Sun hat, sunglasses and high-factor sun protection Scarf or headwear for dust and sun in the dunes Small overnight bag for the desert camp ## FAQs ### How physically demanding is this trip? This trip is graded easy and is mostly road-based, with a gentle camel trek into the dunes rather than any technical trekking. It suits most travellers, including families and those without previous adventure travel experience. Long driving days are the main physical demand, broken up by regular sightseeing stops. ### What is the desert camp like? The desert camp is a traditional Berber setup among the dunes of Erg Chebbi, reached by camel in the late afternoon, with dinner and a night under the stars followed by an early sunrise view before riding back the next morning. It's one of the highlights of the trip for most travellers. ### Will I meet local communities along the way? Yes, day three includes visits to desert nomads and the Tissardmin Oasis, along with a stop in Khamlia village to experience traditional Gnawa music, giving genuine cultural context to the desert landscape. These stops are a key part of what distinguishes this trip from a shorter desert dash. ### What are the driving days like? Several days involve significant driving as the route crosses from the High Atlas to the Sahara and back, including the Tizi n'Tichka Pass, Valley of Roses, Todra Gorges and Draa Valley, with regular photo stops and sightseeing to break up the journey. Comfortable private transport is used throughout. ### What kind of accommodation is included? Accommodation varies through the trip, including hotels and riads in towns such as Ouarzazate and Zagora, a desert lodge near Merzouga, and a traditional Berber camp for the night in the dunes. Each stop is chosen to suit the landscape and pace of that stage of the journey. ### Is this suitable for children? Yes, the minimum age is 10 and the easy grading, comfortable accommodation and mostly road-based itinerary make this a good option for families looking for an accessible introduction to the Sahara. The camel trek is gentle enough for most children to enjoy comfortably. ### What should I pack for this trip? Light, breathable clothing for warm desert days, warm layers for cool desert evenings, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. A scarf or headwear for dust and sun in the dunes, and a small overnight bag for the desert camp, are also worth packing. ### What is included in the meals? Breakfast is included daily, along with meals as described in the itinerary, including dinner at the desert camp on day three. Meals not specifically mentioned in the itinerary are not included and are payable locally. ### What is the minimum age and group size? The minimum age is 10, and children are welcome given the low physical demands of the itinerary. Group sizes range up to 20 people, and private departures can be arranged on request. ### What is the cancellation policy? Cancellations made more than 90 days before departure receive a full refund. Cancellations between 80 and 90 days before departure receive a 50% refund, and cancellations within 70 days of departure are non-refundable. Written notice is required, and travel cancellation insurance is strongly recommended. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/active-treks-morocco-deep-sahara-trip-01.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 4 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
