Explore Morocco's Deserts
Exploring Morocco‘s deserts is a unique and memorable experience. From
the sands of the Sahara to the rocky terrain of Marrakech, Morocco offers
something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a day trip or a longer
stay, taking a tour of Morocco’s desert will leave you with unforgettable
memories.
The Wonders of the Sahara Desert
The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, covering an area larger
than the United States. It stretches across 10 countries in the North African
region, including Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco,
Niger, Sudan, and Tunisia. One of the most iconic places to explore in the
Sahara is Erg Chebbi, a stunning sand dune field located near Merzouga in
east-central Morocco.
Erg Chebbi consists of high sand dunes that reach up to 150 meters in
height. The golden sands are constantly shifting due to the wind, creating
an ever-changing landscape. At night, visitors can witness the spectacular
view of the Milky Way and millions of stars magically twinkling above them.
Visitors may even get to ride a camel on their journey. This traditional mode
of transport is still used today by locals and tourists alike, offering an
exciting way to explore the desert. Riding a camel through the vast Sahara is
truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Discover Marrakech's Oases and Kasbahs
Marrakech is Morocco’s fourth largest city and one of its most fascinating
destinations. This vibrant city has plenty to offer, from bustling souks
(markets) to beautiful gardens. For those looking to explore beyond the city
limits, there are many oases and kasbahs (fortified villages) to discover.
One of the best ways to explore the oases and kasbahs is by taking a 4×4
off-road tour. Visitors can drive through the scenic countryside and visit
traditional Berber villages. Along the way, they’ll see lush palm groves and
striking rock formations. Many tours also include a stop at the UNESCO
World Heritage Site Aït Benhaddou, an ancient fortified village made of
mud-brick structures set against a dramatic backdrop.
Adventures in the Middle Atlas Mountains
Just south of Marrakech lies the Middle Atlas mountain range. This rugged
terrain is home to lush forests, cascading waterfalls, and pristine lakes.
Hiking and trekking are popular activities in this area, offering visitors the
chance to spot rare wildlife such as Barbary macaques, red foxes, and wild
boars.
For those seeking a more challenging adventure, mountaineering is a great
option. The highest peak in the Middle Atlas is Jbel Toubkal, which stands at
an impressive 4,167 meters. Climbing this peak is no easy task and should
not be attempted without proper guidance. Nevertheless, reaching the
summit comes with a rewarding feeling of accomplishment.
Experience the Rich Culture of Morocco
No tour of Morocco would be complete without experiencing its rich
culture. There are numerous attractions to explore, ranging from ancient
mosques and riads (traditional homes) to museums and palaces. Visiting
local markets is another great way to learn about Moroccan traditions and
sample some delicious cuisine.
Many cities also host cultural events throughout the year, such as music
festivals and art exhibitions. Attending these events is a great opportunity
to meet locals and gain insight into their lifestyles. Visitors can also learn
about local customs and beliefs, as well as take part in traditional activities
like henna painting.
Enjoy a Memorable Stay with Local Hospitality
Morocco is known for its hospitality and welcoming atmosphere. For those
interested in a more immersive experience, it’s possible to stay with a local
family and enjoy authentic Moroccan cuisine. Most families offer basic
accommodation in the form of shared rooms and bathrooms, as well as a
traditional breakfast every morning.
Staying with a local host is a great way to practice the language and
immerse oneself in the local culture. It also provides guests with a unique
perspective on everyday life in Morocco. Visitors can learn about everything
from cooking techniques to weaving and pottery.
Taking a Morocco desert tour is an amazing way to explore the country’s
stunning landscape and experience its culture. From riding camels through
the Sahara to visiting kasbahs and oases, there’s something for everyone.
Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, a tour of Morocco’s
deserts is sure to provide an unforgettable experience
