Glamping in the Desert Under the Marrakech Sky, Morocco

Morocco! A destination that’s tailor – made for all kinds of travelers. Right from exploring the Saharan dunes to experiencing the Atlas Mountains, there is nothing this beautiful country does not have to offer. With landscapes and mountains leading towards the Oasis, while offering a simple, breathtaking pleasure of the night sky as it glistens in thin air – indulge in some of the most exciting and exuberating experiences. It’s not just about a heritage trip, as Morocco’s cities are forward-facing too, with glitzy new urban design in Casablanca, Rabat and Tangier looking to the future as well as paying homage to their roots.

If you have plans to visit Morocco, spending time in the desert is a must to recharge and experience something completely different from the bustling streets of cities and to check this magnificent desert off your bucket list.

 

Book a private Desert Luxury Camp, perfect for a three night glamping adventure. This experience will include two nights in the luxury tents and one night at the Skoura Oasis

 

During your journey, hike up the highest dunes to watch the sun break over the desert makes it a truly magical moment. Being so picturesque, it definitely calls for an instagram – worthy destination. And yes, you will be surprised with the number of pictures one can take at a desert! As you watch the sun set, enjoy a relaxed evening with live music, a traditional cuisine and of course, the beauty of the glistening star-gazing sky.

JUST FYI

Helpful tips for traveling to the Sahara Desert

Bring toilet paper, medication, snacks, and water: While it’s a luxe experience, you’ll still be in the middle of the desert, so you can’t just run down to the corner store for something. And throughout Morocco, toilet paper isn’t the norm. Most bathrooms have bidet-style options that use water instead of paper.

Wear appropriate clothing: You’ll be hiking and riding, so be prepared!

Be prepared for cold nights: Temperatures can vary, so it’s good to check the weather before you go. In the summer, temperatures in a single day can range from seventy to 110 degrees. In the winter, temperature can be between forty and seventy degrees. Whatever the weather is like when you go, you’ll feel a major drop at night.

Pack well: Sunscreen and a hat are essential in the desert. You’ll also want comfortable closed-toe shoes for exploring the areas as well as flip-flops for when you’re running around the campgrounds. Also, wipes are great for long days of travel.

Bring cash: It’s handy to have cash for tips. Generally speaking, you’ll want to keep at least a Moroccan dirham in your pocket any time you’re out. Cash is king here.

 

Always happy to help curate your magical & mystical experience!
