Frequently Asked Questions
What should I pack for such a diverse route ?
Because the “Loop” takes you from the high peaks of the Atlas (where it can be chilly) to the tropical heat of the Draa Valley and the dry Saharan dunes, layering is key. Bring a light jacket for the mountain passes and the desert night, but keep your summer gear ready for the palm oases and the pool on Day 3.
Can I skip the camel ride to the desert camp?
Of course! If you are not keen on riding camels, we have covered you with an alternative. You can relax in the comfort of a 4×4 vehicle a
no extra cost, and we will transport you to the camp hassle-free. Your satisfaction is our priority!

A relaxed, deep-dive exploration of Morocco's southern landscapes. This 5-day private tour offers ample time to soak in the beauty of the Dades and Todra Gorges, the UNESCO heritage of Ait Benhaddou, and a peaceful night in a luxury Sahara camp.
