Yes, it's worth it to visit the Sahara Desert in Morocco, as it's one of the easiest ways to see this vast expanse of sand dunes for yourself. Tours and transportation make it convenient to reach the desert from major cities, while activities such as camel rides and stays in Berber-style camps help make the experience truly memorable.

Per one customer who booked the Camel Ride and Overnight in Sahara Desert Camp, "It was an amazing experience and I would recommend everyone stay a night or two in the desert. Riding a camel is certainly an experience."

Try to visit the Sahara Desert in May or October, when the temperatures are mild. You’re more likely to have colder weather and sandstorms in the other months—weather conditions that make sleeping in Berber tents, riding camels, sandboarding, sipping Moroccan mint tea, and eating desert tagines a lot more uncomfortable.

Head to Merzouga as a starting point into the Moroccan Sahara Desert. From there, hop on a camel heading to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes, which are perfect backdrops for photos of you riding camelback. There are loads of Berber desert camps, perfect for spending a night under the stars.

Cover yourself up when you visit the Sahara, to protect from both wind and sun. Be prepared for warmer days and colder nights with long sleeves. One thing to wear is a blue Berber scarf, which helps both block the sand and fit into the desert fashion.

Stay away from the Sahara Desert in the height of summer when temperatures become intense. Try to go in spring or fall, when temperatures are mild—you’ll also avoid sandstorms and chilly winter temperatures. Note that spring and fall are tourist seasons, so you probably won't be alone.
