If you are looking for an active holiday, Morocco offers much more than camel

One of the best parts of a Morocco desert tour is discovering the culture
along the way.
Your journey can include visits to traditional villages, ancient kasbahs,
local markets and communities in southern Morocco.
Learn about local traditions, architecture, crafts, music and everyday life
while traveling through the Atlas Mountains and Sahara region.
Enjoy Moroccan dishes such as tagine, couscous, Moroccan salads, bread and
mint tea during your journey.
Many desert camps offer traditional music around the campfire after dinner,
creating a memorable evening beneath the stars.
A Morocco desert package is also a journey through some of southern Morocco’s
most famous landscapes.
Ait Ben Haddou is a major stop on many routes between Marrakech and the Sahara.
From there, travelers can continue toward Ouarzazate, Skoura, the Valley of
Roses, Dades Valley and Todra Gorge before reaching Merzouga.
This makes the desert journey a complete Moroccan road trip rather than simply
a transfer between two cities.
The Draa Valley is another spectacular part of southern Morocco. Its palm
groves, villages and kasbahs create a dramatic contrast with the surrounding
mountains and desert landscapes.
Depending on your itinerary, you can travel through the Draa Valley on the
way to or from the Sahara.
Merzouga → Rissani → Alnif → Tazarine → Nkob →
Draa Valley → Agdez → Ouarzazate → Marrakech
