Spend the night in the Moroccan Sahara!

A 2-day unforgettable desert adventure with a once-in-a-lifetime experience of spending the night in the Sahara. With the air crisp, clean and clear, the stars so close you can almost touch them and a silence that is almost deafening.

On the way to the desert you will pass the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka Pass and several Berber villages, riverside oasis and Kasbahs. You will ride camels, watch a breathtaking sunset and sunrise as well as spend a night in a Berber tent.
