Compare all our private Morocco desert tours in one place: 37 Sahara itineraries from Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, Tangier and Ouarzazate, with a camel trek in Merzouga, Zagora or Erg Chegaga and a night in a desert camp.
Our Morocco Sahara tours take you to the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga, the Zagora desert and the remote dunes of Erg Chegaga. Every tour is private and includes a sunset camel ride and a night in a desert camp.
The best tour depends on two things: where you start and how many days you have. Start with your arrival city below, then compare short 2 to 4-day desert trips with longer tours that add the imperial cities, Chefchaouen and the Atlantic coast.
Each city has its own page with every route, prices on request and tips for that departure point.
