Destinations

The Sahara Desert

Beyond the High Atlas, the landscape opens into stony plains, palm oases and finally the towering dunes of the Sahara.

Morocco’s great dune fields lie in the south-east, many hours from Marrakech. The journey crosses the Tizi n’Tichka pass and passes kasbahs, ksour and valleys — which is why we recommend allowing at least three days.

We plan driving days carefully, choose a desert camp that suits you and include the stops that make the route memorable.

Highlights

  • The dunes

    Sunrise and sunset over the sand.

  • Aït Benhaddou

    A UNESCO-listed earthen ksar on the way south.

  • Southern valleys

    Gorges, palm groves and kasbahs.

  • Desert nights

    Clear, starry skies far from city lights.

Suggested experiences

Practical considerations

  • Allow at least three days from Marrakech.
  • Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons.
  • Winter nights in the desert can be very cold.
