Be transported to what can feel like another world as you wind your way through the towering Todra Valley and roam the earthen architecture at Ait Benhaddou (of Hollywood fame). You'll then have the best seat in the house for a magical Saharan sunset - on the back of a camel - before finishing your day in the desert sleeping under the stars. Believe us, this is one trip you’ll be glad you went on.

Highlights of the Sahara Mini Adventure

People looking out over Ait Benhaddou

A day out at Ait Benhaddou

Ait Benhaddou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and with one look at this ancient city, you can see why. Approximately dating back to the 17 th century, this mudbrick ksar is an example of pre-Saharan natural construction that once served as a Sahara trading post. It’s since been revived by Hollywood, so you might just recognise it from some pretty big films – does The Mummy , Lawrence of Arabia or Gladiator ring any bells? Before leaving, you’ll be treated to a delicious meal courtesy of the women of the Tawesna Association at a nearby teahouse.

A guide taking travellers through Marrakech

Meander in Marrakech

For a starting and finishing point, you can’t really ask for a better place than Marrakech. With its enticing food stalls, vibrant goods, bountiful gardens, engaging entertainers and unique architecture gracing every corner, there’s a souk’s worth of activities to keep you occupied. The beauty of Marrakech is that it’s a choose-your-own-adventure city. Unwind in serene riads or local spas, take your tastebuds on a culinary journey , or jumpstart your Morocco tour with exciting adventures quad biking in the desert or cycling the city streets of Marrakech .

Camels lounging in the Sahara Desert

Sand, sun and stars in the Sahara

Take a gander on camelback through the spectacular sands of the Sahara Desert and experience the colour-changing landscape by sunrise and sunset. You’ll be taken to the Erg Chebbi  sand dunes, the largest dunes in Morocco. Watch as they move with the wind and change hue depending on the time of day. After experiencing the hubbub of Marrakech, fall asleep to peace and quiet under the grandeur of a full desert starry night. If you’re going to visit the largest hot desert in the world, we think you might as well stay the night.

Towering Todra Gorge and local flavours

Among the man-made wonders of Morocco sits the impressive Todra Valley . Home to Todra Gorge and Todra River, the area is a burst of bright green farmlands cutting through the rocky, dusty terrain. You’ll get a chance to experience the region’s produce after a morning sojourn through the 400 meters high sandstone canyons as you sit down for a picnic provided by the members of the local Amazigh Women’s Association. Savour local specialities, from the country-favourite mint tea to speciality bread with olive oil; it’s the perfect Moroccan meal .

Where is the Sahara Desert?

The Sahara Desert is located in North Africa. It spans a mighty 9,200,000 square kilometres across 10 countries, including Morocco, Egypt, Mali and Libya. It's the world's largest hot desert, and the third-largest desert after Antarctica and the Arctic.

What's the weather like in the Sahara Desert?

As a desert region, the Sahara can experience extreme weather. Winter (December to February) can be very cold, with overnight temperatures dropping to 5°C or lower. You'll need a sleeping bag, thermals, a scarf, gloves and a warm jacket for travel in winter. Oh, and be prepared for cold showers at your desert camp!

Summer (June to September) can be very hot with intense temperatures that can reach the high 40°Cs. This might be too uncomfortable for those not used to the heat. It’s super important to use sun protection and stay hydrated. That said, the desert can still get pretty chilly at night when the sun goes down, so you'll need a fleece to rug up.

Spring (March to May) sees the arrival of strong winds and there is an increased risk of sandstorms in April – but don't worry, your leader will always check the forecast beforehand to see if it's safe to stay in the desert.

When is the best time to visit the Sahara Desert?

The best time to visit the Sahara Desert is during the spring months between March to May, as well as the autumn months of October and November. During these times, the desert temperatures are hot but manageable and the nights don’t get quite as cold. Although one thing to note is that between January to May there is usually a higher number of sandstorms recorded, especially in April.

What clothing should I wear in the Sahara Desert?

What to pack will differ slightly depending on the time of year and the activities you'll be doing. But below are the basics you'll need:

  • Light scarf or face mask can be handy for preventing you from inhaling desert dust
  • Sun hat – wide-brimmed, ideally, to protect your face and head from the sun's rays and strong winds
  • Sunscreen – when you're in the desert, it goes without saying!
  • Small daypack for day trips and excursions
  • Light, loose-fitting pants
  • Joggers or jeans for camel rides
  • Long-sleeved shirts
  • Fleece – for all seasons
  • Warm layers (for winter trips) – you'll need thermals, gloves, a woolly hat and a fleece to rug up as the temperatures can drop to below freezing at night
  • Small head torch – handy for going to the bathroom at night
  • Thongs (flip flops) for camp
  • Hiking shoes or runners

What animals live in the Sahara Desert?

The Sahara Desert is one of the fiercest environments for animal life. The mammals that live in the Sahara range from Saharan cheetahs, dromedary camels and desert foxes to gazelles, ostrich, hyrax and African wild dogs. Reptile life includes the desert crocodile, sand viper and the desert monitor. Other common species include the deathstalker scorpion and the Saharan silver ant as well as over 90 species of birds.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance for a Sahara Desert tour?

You sure do. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their tour. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Learn more about travel insurance.

Are Intrepid's Sahara Desert trips accessible for travellers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible , regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Customer reviews.

After my first trip to Morocco with a couple of female friends from Marrakech to Fes, this was my second tour with Marrakech Desert Trips. This time, my husband and I travelled to Erg Chegaga desert, and it was fantastic. At my age, I had some issues about staying in a Sahara desert camp, but it is actually rather pleasant. I have always had positive experiences in Morocco, and I believe one of the main reasons was Marrakech Desert Trips particular attention and care. Instead of treating you like a “customer”, you get treated like a friend. I can’t say enough good things about them.

Marrakech Desert Trips provided us with a once-in-a-lifetime Moroccan experience. It was private tour that started in Casablanca. We headed to Chefchaouen, then Fez, before we explored the Sahara desert for 3 days. Our tour ended in Marrakech, where we were dropped off at our Riad.. It was a nicely run and unforgettable tour. We were blown away by the attention to details, the accommodations were all good value for what we paid for our tour, the food was varied as we ate in local restaurants most of the times, and the amazing views we saw gave us a tremendous sense of Morocco’s numerous natural and historical facets. Reda ( our lovely drive and guide ) kept us occupied for several hours while traveling, with wonderful music, chatting, and pauses whenever we needed. The quality of the trip, as well as the safety, made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you very much!

Learning about this Marrakech Desert Trips from a family member’s positive experience, we chose them for our 8-day tour from Marrakech to Chefchaouen, and they exceeded our expectations. Abdel, our driver and tour guide, was fantastic! His deep understanding of the country and its attractions was matched by his kindness, patience, exceptional driving skills, and willingness to adapt our itinerary as needed. Recommending them wholeheartedly, we wouldn’t hesitate to engage their services again. A big thanks to Abdel for making our journey memorable and seamless!

In just three days, Hassan provided us an incredible glimpse into Morocco’s treasures. He guided us through breathtaking Atlas Mountain landscapes and the amazing Sahara desert. Immersing us in the Berber culture, he shared insights about their language, cuisine, and music. Meeting wonderful locals enriched the journey, and Hassan’s boundless energy and attentiveness ensured our comfort and security throughout. His adept handling of diverse situations was impressive. I wholeheartedly endorse this tour, with a special suggestion to request Hassan as your guide – his expertise truly elevates the experience.

Our 3-day private round trip to the Sahara from Marrakech was truly remarkable. Driver Lachen exceeded expectations, ensuring an incredible journey from start to finish. Engaging conversations with Lachen immersed us in local culture and introduced us to authentic people, creating a bespoke adventure. The journey itself revealed breathtaking landscapes. Along the way, we enjoyed delicious meals and cozy lodgings, including a luxurious camp with a private, warm desert shower. Lachen’s seamless coordination with accommodations was impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring Morocco and the Sahara. Lachen’s exceptional service elevates the experience, providing personalized and insightful adventures that become cherished memories.

In our diverse group of eight, spanning ages 13 to 40s and various dietary preferences, the journey was a hit! The Panorama hotel impressed with its friendly English-speaking staff, offering comfort, great food, and picturesque views. Camel trekking into the desert and optional quad bike rides back were unforgettable, creating cherished memories. Overnight camping in the desert was equally magical, waking up in the heart of the Sahara. The hosts, accommodations, and facilities exceeded expectations. Our driver, Hassan, was exceptional, sharing his enthusiasm and abundant knowledge about the area, culture, and language. He became a cherished friend, enhancing the overall experience.

We embarked on a remarkable three-day journey from Fes to Marrakech, traversing deserts, gorges, and ancient cities. This trip efficiently showcased an array of stunning landscapes—desert dunes, gorges, snowy mountains, ski resorts, and desert oases—providing an unforgettable experience. Opting for the luxury desert camp upgrade added a touch of magic that enhanced our adventure. The company also organized transfers from Rabat to Chefchaouen and Chefchaouen to Fes at reasonable rates with the same driver. I recommend considering their private transfers, as they offer convenience at only slightly higher costs than grand taxis. Crucially, our guide and driver, Lahcen, played a pivotal role. He offered valuable insights prior to each destination, answered our questions, and shared intriguing facts and personal experiences throughout the journey. Lahcen truly made the adventure memorable.
