Frequently Asked Questions: 5 Day Morocco Desert Tour

Absolutely, this tour is family-friendly and regularly welcomes children aged 5 and above. The camel rides are gentle and slow-paced, and the desert camps are safe, with private tents and attentive staff. Kids love meeting the Barbary macaques, playing in the dunes, and listening to Gnawa music around the campfire. Just pack layers for cool desert nights, and we’ll handle the rest.

Yes, absolutely. We accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary needs on every tour,  just let us know when you book. The tagines, couscous, and salads are naturally rich in fresh vegetables, beans, and local spices. Our Berber cooks are happy to prepare plant-based meals, and you’ll find that Moroccan cuisine is surprisingly vegan-friendly. No one goes hungry here.

It depends on the season. From November to February, nights can drop to 0–5°C (32–41°F), so warm pyjamas and a fleece are essential. In spring and autumn (March–May, September–October), nighttime temperatures range between 8–15°C (46–59°F),  cool but comfortable. Summer nights are mild at 18–25°C (64–77°F). Either way, we provide thick blankets, and the tents block the wind well. You’ll be cosy, not freezing.

The camel ride in the afternoon is about 1 hour to 1 hour and a half, and about 1 hour in the Morning. 

Whether you take a standard or a luxury desert camp, private tents are guaranteed.

  • Standard desert camp:

The standard camp is perfect for travelers seeking an authentic, back-to-basics desert adventure. It offers a rustic, budget-friendly experience.
The tents are comfortable and perfect for a nice sleep. The toilets and showers are shared with the whole camp.

  • Luxury desert camp :

Luxury desert camps are definitely the best choice if you’re looking for a more exclusive and memorable stay in the desert.

Luxury camps are the best in offering premium comfort with spacious tents. Private bathrooms, different kinds of bed sizes ( king beds, double beds, twin beds, or single beds), and offering enhanced amenities like electricity, and Wi-Fi(though it may be limited due to the remote location).

Generally, no, and that’s part of the magic. The desert camps are deep in the Erg-Chebbi dunes, far from phone towers or fibre optics. Most camps have no WiFi, and the mobile signal is very weak or nonexistent. We encourage guests to embrace the digital detox: watch the stars, talk around the fire, and truly disconnect. If you absolutely need urgent access, ask your guide about satellite options, but don’t rely on it.

In the luxury desert camp, yes , there are shared charging points in the main dining tent or sometimes in each tent. In the standard camp, charging is limited to the common area (e.g., the lounge tent). We always recommend bringing a fully charged power bank as a backup, since the Sahara is off-grid. Either way, you’ll have enough battery for sunset photos and emergency use.

No, you don’t need to bring a sleeping bag. All our desert camps,  standard and luxury,  provide clean, warm bedding including blankets and pillows. In the luxury camp, you’ll even get extra-thick comforters and heated mattress pads during colder months. The tents are designed to retain heat, so you’ll sleep comfortably without carrying extra luggage.

From the  essentials you don’t want to forget when you packing to Morocco: 

  • Comfortable clothing plus some layers for cold desert nights.
  • Sturdy shoes for walking on sand and rocky terrain.
  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection.
  • A camera or smartphone to bring home your wonderful Morocco memories.

Keep in Mind  :

Morocco uses the double-pronged plugs common in Europe (type E – type C).

  • Group tours are cheaper but less flexible.
  • Private tours offer more comfort and stop at your own pace.

Yes, you can customize your 5-Day Fes Desert tour from Fes to fit your desires. When you’re ready, tell us your preferences, and we’ll design an itinerary made just for you.
