Desert Tours in Morocco– When is the best time to go and what to take with you to the Sahara Desert
it might seem usual that you would like to do your Morocco desert tour in the winter because the temperature is a bit cold, but i don’t recommend going in winter nor the summer. The best months are March-April and October-November because the day temperatures are warm and the night is not too cold.
The most essential things to take with you when going to the Sahara desert are loose and warm clothing because it might get cold at night, a scarf and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun when doing your camel ride and one more thing is baby wipes to clean yourself from the sand. You need to check bedding and towels beforehand with the company, but generally, they are included in the accommodation.
What to See in the Sahara Desert
If you decide to start your desert tour from Fes, you will definitely stop at Ifrane and Azrou, Ziz Valley and Errachidia, this is the region of the Middle Atlas super cool and refreshing. You might: choose from our own site an organised desert tour to Merzouga like the 3 days desert tour from Fes back to Fes or if you have a short time you can choose the 2-day desert tour from Fes back to Fes.
If you start your Moroccan desert tour from Marrakech you will likely see the Ait ben Haddou Kasbah, Valley of Roses, Ouarzazate, Todgha and Dades Valley, Rissani, high atlas mountains, this trip can be found on our website ( 3 days Marrakech desert tour).
One more important thing and probably the most exited one is to combine both ways which means you can start from Fes and end in Marrakech or vice versa, please find more information about these tours in 3 days Marrakech to Fes desert tour and 5 days from Fes to Marrakech desert tour, 3 days Fes to Marrakech desert tour.
Generally, in all these tours you will experience the camel trekking tour and sleeping in the desert camp beneath the stars.

There are 2 famous activities that you can enjoy in the desert, the first one is sandboarding and the second one is quad. This is the role of time management.
