Camel Trips in the Sahara Desert
Explore the Magic of the Sahara Desert
We will walk the camels, learn how to build a chèche, sleep in a tent, make a fire in the evening, play in the dunes and go discover prehistoric prints and many fossils that are abundant in the region. A dream trip for children and parents alike. A week of constant change of scenery in the Moroccan desert between dunes, palm groves, Saharan villages and lost oases. The discovery of the Saharan world and its culture will leave a mark for a long time. One week dream trip for the family and friends... With our experienced tour team, Morocco Sahara Discovery is proud to offer you these activities. We look forward to meeting you and show you the best of the what the Sahara desert and our nomadic culture can offer! Desert treks are trips by foot among the huge dunes, departing from M'Hamid El Ghizlane with our professional nomad guide and your camel handlers. Camels will carry your bags. Expect to be fascinated by the desert, meet nomads, observe the animal and plant life, relax, and forget the hustle and bustle of the busy city life.
