Frequently Asked & Question
The best seasons are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when temperatures are comfortable throughout — mild in the mountains and warm (not extreme) in the desert. Summer (June–August) can reach 45°C in the Sahara. Winter (December–February) is cold at altitude but the desert is magical with fewer crowds.
Absolutely. This is a private tour tailored entirely to your group, making it ideal for families. The itinerary can be adjusted for children — shorter walks, more rest stops, and the camel trek is always a highlight for kids. The desert bivouac is a genuinely magical experience for younger travellers.
The tour includes 5 nights across carefully selected traditional properties: a riad in Aït Benhaddou, a riad in the Dades Valley, a desert bivouac camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga, a traditional Berber kasbah in Agdez, and a riad in Marrakech. All accommodation is hand-picked for authenticity and comfort.
Yes — all our tours are fully customisable. You can adjust the start and end points (Marrakech, Casablanca, or other cities), add extra nights anywhere along the route, upgrade accommodation, or extend the desert experience. Contact us to build your perfect itinerary.
You should carry a valid passport, visa (if required), travel insurance, flight tickets, hotel booking confirmations, and a government-issued ID. It’s also helpful to have copies of important documents and emergency contact information.
Yes — a return camel trek is fully included: one at sunset on Day 3 to reach your desert bivouac, and one at dawn on Day 4 to watch the Saharan sunrise from the dune crest. For guests who prefer not to ride camels, a 4×4 vehicle can transport you directly to the camp.contact information.
