Few travel moments in Morocco can compare to the first time you climb on a camel at the edge of the Sahara and watch the dunes turn orange as the sun falls. A camel trek in Morocco is a slow, quiet and surprisingly personal experience. There is no engine noise, no arrival time on your phone, only the soft rhythm of the animal and the sand slipping under its feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

But a good experience is all about choices you make before you get there: which desert, how many nights, what season, what kind of camp. Many people just book the first thing they see and then realize the ride was too short or it was too hot or the camp wasn\u2019t what they thought. Here we explain how a camel trek actually works so you can find the right one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Should you already know your preferences, you can look through our camel trekking tours in Morocco and select one according to the length of time. If you are still deciding, then keep reading. <\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” column_structure=”2_3,1_3″][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font=”Work Sans|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#ED6334″ custom_margin=”14px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

What a Camel Trek in Morocco Is Really Like<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

A camel trek is a walk, not a ride in the adventurer’s adrenaline spirit. Camels travel at a gentle shuffle, and a ride to a desert camp averages a single to two hours, depending on whether the camp sits between the dunes or atop them. You are seated on a cushioned saddle with a handlebar ahead as your guide leads the caravan by foot or ahead on his camel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where to Visit: either at Erg Chebbi, Erg Chigaga and, Zagora<\/b><\/h2>\n

Morocco actually has desert areas and they are not all the same. The most popular one is Erg Chebbi, close to Merzouga in the southeast. The sand dunes are approximately 150 meters high, it is accessible by road, and you will find many various camps and tours. If this will be your first camel trek in Morocco, it is the safest one.<\/span>
<\/span>More remote and more away from the beaten track, Erg Chigaga behind M’Hamid. The desert is a little further and deeper off the main roads and most of the journey will be over sandy tracks requiring 4WD. As such, you are unlikely to be able to fit it in if you are on a tight schedule. But its remoteness means a more tranquil experience.<\/span>
<\/span>The nearest Zzagora is only an hour away from Marrakech and used for shorter trips. The dunes are much less imposing and less as a sea of sand, more as a desert edge, but the camel ride, and the camping over night, still make for a Sahara experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

1 Night or 2 Nights? Trek Duration Tips<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

The question we get asked most often is ‘How long should the trek be? The straight answer is that you can see the desert on a single night, but you only experience it with two nights. On a one-nighter, you arrive at sunset and depart at sunrise, so you have just a glimpse. On a two-nighter, you get a whole day of desert life and time to enjoy it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you only have a few hours in Merzouga, <\/span>a one-day camel trek in the Merzouga desert<\/span><\/a> gives you the ride and the dunes without an overnight stay. It is also a good way to test whether you enjoy riding a camel before committing to a longer trek.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can spare the time, <\/span>2 nights of camel trekking in Merzouga<\/span><\/a> is the version that most travelers describe as the highlight of their Morocco trip. The second night is where the desert stops feeling like an excursion. You are no longer watching the clock, and the camp becomes a place to rest rather than a stop on the way somewhere else.<\/span><\/p>\n
