Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and the 2-day trip?

The 3-day trip is much more relaxed. You break the journey in Zagora, allowing time to visit the pottery cooperatives in Tamegroute and arrive at the desert camp earlier to enjoy the sunset fully. It's better for families or those who dislike rushing.

Is the accommodation shared?

No, all accommodation (both the hotel in Zagora and the luxury tent in M'Hamid) is private for your group/family. You have your own room/tent and private bathroom.

What if I don't want to ride a camel?

No problem! We can arrange for you to reach the desert camp by 4x4 vehicle instead of camel trek. Just let your driver know on the day.

Are meals included?

Breakfasts and Dinners are included. Lunches are extra (allow approx €10-15 per person) to give you flexibility on what to eat.

What should I pack?

Comfortable shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, and warm layers for the night (it can get cold in the desert). A small backpack is better than a large suitcase.
