Head for the Sahara

When the weather warms up and the Moroccan border re-opens, it’s time to head for the wide open space and dramatic dunes of the Sahara desert

A day’s drive from Fez or Marrakech, you can ride a camel to your comfortable tent. You don’t need to rough it – clean sheets, hot showers and a delicious Moroccan meal are all part of the experience.

My family did this trip recently, and had a memorable time. While the kids loved the camels, my husband and I preferred hanging out at the camp and viewing the magnificent night sky.

Caméléon Bleu can arrange transport and a stay at a luxury desert camp when you stay at one of our properties in Fez or Marrakech.
