SAHARA DESERT TOURS FROM MARRAKECH

1. It is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.

There are numerous interesting Morocco Sahara desert tours from Marrakech, but the one that takes you to the desert is probably the most unique. In fact, it is one of the most popular activities from Marrakech, and I am confident that your night in the traditional haima, dunes tours, and sunrise in the middle of the desert will stay with you forever.

2. There are numerous desert tour options available from Marrakech.

After seeing the sights in Marrakech, you must decide which excursion to take based on the number of free days you have left. The good news is that tours of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days are available. Then I’ll tell you which ones seem most interesting to me (in terms of days).

3. You’ll see a lot of interesting sights on your way to the desert.

The arrival in the desert is clearly the icing on the cake. However, on the tour, you will learn about famous places such as the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate, and the Dades Valley.

4. You will spend the night in a traditional haima.

The haimas are typical North African camps. The haima in which you will sleep is not like the traditional ones (which are very simple), because the superior categories have a bathroom and a shower inside. It’s almost like a hotel room, but it’s inside a luxury tent. And, while we’re on the subject of sleeping, here are some of the best riads in Marrakech (with a pool and/or spa) for you to consider.

5. You will enjoy a sunrise movie.

There are two aspects of the Sahara desert that pique my interest. The first is to walk barefoot on the dunes, and the second is to watch the sunrise in the middle of the desert. If you are like me, you will have a fantastic time on this desert excursion from Marrakech.

6. Explore Marrakech’s surroundings.

I’ve included travel guides for two, three, four, and five days in Marrakech. I include worthwhile excursion options near Marrakech in the 4 and 5 day itineraries. When I was in Marrakech, I didn’t have many options for spending two days in the desert, so I ended up visiting Essaouira (here’s what to see in Essaouira and how to get from Marrakech to Essaouira).
