Camp Under The Stars On A Camel Caravan In The Dramatic Sahara Desert

browse (1 / 6)

Southern Morocco, North Africa, is a cornucopia of diverse landscapes; a region where you will experience fascinating cultures, traditional villages, and the awe-inspiring golden dunes of the Sahara Desert.

The Sahara Desert conjures up images of veiled Arab horsemen, caravans of camels and nomadic warriors, so come on, sit proudly on the camels back like an imperial king or Lawrence of Arabia and embark on an exciting guided camel caravan trek. The journey leads you through spectacular gorges, fertile valleys, and green oasis belts where you can camp under the stars in the dramatic Sahara Desert. The sight of the dunes is astounding, sun rays seem to dance across the ever shifting sands at sunrise and sunset and at night the skies shimmer with twinkling stars serenading the landscape.

Whilst exploring the mesmerising Sahara Desert, visit the many Berber villages where hospitality and tradition reflects the “real” Moroccan lifestyle. Explore the traditional dwellings called Kasbahs, and listen to the interesting stories about their traditions and culture. Trek from oasis to oasis like the legendary tradesmen of centuries before, camp at the lake on the way to the high dunes of Erg Chebbi, and watch the flamingos fandango like Spanish senoritas on the glimmering lake. Many reputable tour operators organise thrilling camel and 4x4 desert excursions or try sand-boarding and sand-skiing the magnificent dunes. After an exhilarating day of adventure camp under the stars in a Berber tent, share experiences around a camp fire, feast on authentic Moroccan cuisine, sip on a soothing cup of mint tea and listen to the fiery rhythm of the musician’s drums.

Perhaps it is the way the sun casts a spell over the wind-swept dunes, the deafening silence of nothingness, or the dazzle of the stars and ravishing power of the dunes, there is no doubt that the Sahara Desert holds endless rewards and camping under the stars on a camel caravan in the dramatic Sahara Desert is absolutely magical.
