Morocco group tours with a desert camp combine the road trip over the Atlas with a night in the Sahara dunes. However, what is included can vary a lot from one tour to another. Here is a clear guide to accommodation, meals and activities, so you know exactly what to expect.
Accommodation on Morocco Group Tours
To begin with, most multi-day group tours include hotels or guesthouses on the way, for example near the Dades gorge, plus one night in a desert camp. In general, rooms are simple but clean. Therefore, ask about private bathrooms if they matter to you.
The Desert Camp
On Morocco group tours with desert camp nights, the highlight comes next: the camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga. In fact, camps range from basic tents with shared toilets to comfortable tents with beds and private bathrooms. Read our comparison of luxury vs standard Merzouga camps.
Meals
Meanwhile, group tours including accommodation usually include breakfast and dinner. For example, dinner in the camp is often soup, a tagine and fruit. Lunches are normally extra, so you can choose where to eat on the road.
The Camel Ride
Also, Morocco shared tours with a camel ride take you into the dunes at sunset, and often back at sunrise. In general, the ride lasts about one to one and a half hours each way. See our guide to camel trekking in Morocco.
What Is Usually Not Included
- Lunches and drinks.
- Local guides in the kasbahs and gorges.
- Optional activities, such as quad bikes.
- Tips for the driver and camp team.
3 or 4 Days with a Desert Camp
Our Morocco group tours with desert camp nights leave Marrakech for 3 or 4 days. As a result, you choose between a faster trip and a calmer one. Compare both in our guide to the shared desert tour from Marrakech, and read what a shared Sahara night is like.
Private Camp Option
On the other hand, if you prefer a quieter or luxury camp, a private trip lets you choose. For example, our 4 day Erg Chebbi tour from Marrakech and 5 day Merzouga tour can include luxury tents.
