Adventure trip to the desert

Jens_H, Oct 2025

We had a very nice trip to the desert Erg Chebbi from Marrakech to Fez. The organization before the trip and during it was top. You also get the services that are in the description. We had the luxury camp where not only the accommodation guarantees a better experience. The camel rides to sunset and dawn are much longer because the camp is much deeper in the desert. In addition, the luggage can be taken completely. Negative points: In Ait Ben Haddou there are stops for buying pictures or scarves (turbans). A scarf is supposedly needed for the desert and camel ride. This is definitely just money making. Since the rides take place in the evening/morning, sunscreen and a hat are sufficient, if at all. On the second day there is a stop to buy carpets. Except for a gorge, there are no other stops that day to look at something beautiful. In the evening we go with the camels into the desert. The first accommodation you reach halfway to Merzouga is very very simple. No linen, smelly bath, shower that puts the bath under water, hygiene that takes getting used to. If you are willing to leave your comfort zone for a few days, you will experience a trip that he/she will remember for a long time and that is what it is all about.
