Camel trekking adventures
Exploring Morocco’s desert offers a diverse array of experiences that cater to various interests. And yet “the desert is not to be told, but to be lived” – as once said Mohamed Khidouma, the founder of Desert Stories. The pure experience of the desert is what we strive to provide on our desert tours. And while it can mean doing absolutely nothing – la dolce far niente, it can also be a thrilling adventure.
Camel trekking, a quintessential desert experience, allows you to traverse the desert along with gentle giants, savouring the vast, tranquil landscapes – ergs, regs and hamadas. Often combined with wild camping, camel treks offer an immersive experience of the desert.


Camping in nomadic style
Camping in the desert offers a chance to immerse yourself in nomadic traditions. Spend the night in traditional tents, enjoy the campfire, live music, savor tajines cooked on the fire, bake bread in hot sand, and brew Moroccan tea over charcoal. Wild camping on our desert tours provides an authentic connection to the Moroccan desert’s spirit.
For those seeking thrills, sandboarding on the majestic dunes of Erg Chegaga promises an adrenaline-packed adventure. Glide down the rolling sands and enjoy the rush while surrounded by stunning desert vistas.

Nights under million stars
As night falls, Morocco’s desert transforms into a stargazer’s paradise. Spend your nights under a star-studded sky, marvelling at constellations. The celestial beauty that unfolds away from light pollution is unforgettable. Near Desert Camp Chraika, just 3 kilometers from M’hamid village, the night sky is already breathtaking. Imagine venturing further into the wilderness – every kilometre deeper into it enhances the experience.

4x4 expeditions
For those who prefer a more comfortable exploration, 4×4 desert expeditions are an exciting option. These guided off-road adventures allow you to reach remote and scenic locations while enjoying the comfort of a vehicle.
The desert’s hidden oases offer refreshing contrasts to the arid landscape. Visit traditional nomadic homes where date palms and water sources create vibrant pockets of life. Our tours to Erg Chegaga always include a stop at the Sacred Oasis, enhancing the journey with its lush allure.
Cultural encounters are another highlight of desert exploration. Engage with nomadic communities, visit local markets—such as the weekly souk in M’hamid—and taste traditional cuisine to gain insights into the rich heritage of desert life.
