Skoura and Dades Valley: You’ll pass through palm groves, ancient kasbahs, and breathtaking valleys.

Camel Trekking

Camel rides in the Sahara desert, usually in Merzouga or Zagora.
The experience of riding camels over sand dunes, especially during sunset or sunrise, is a highlight of the tour.

Overnight Stay in a Desert Camp

After camel trekking, you’ll stay in a traditional desert camp with luxurious accommodations.
Expect traditional Moroccan meals, music, and a night under the stars in the desert’s serene atmosphere.

Quad Biking and Sandboarding

Authentic Moroccan Cuisine

You’ll enjoy Moroccan tagines, couscous, and other local dishes during the trip, either at local restaurants or in the desert camp.

Cultural Immersion
