A simple checklist before you book a Sahara desert tour in Morocco: itinerary, nights, accommodation, transport, what is included and how to compare offers.
Start with the itinerary
Ask for the route day by day: where you start, where you stop, how many hours you will travel and where you sleep each night. A tour that looks short on a map can mean long days on the road.
Check that the places you care about, such as Ait Ben Haddou or the dunes of Merzouga, are really in the plan.
Check what is included
Make a list of what the price covers: transport, accommodation, meals, camel ride, guide and entrance fees. Ask what is not included so there are no surprises.
Comparing two offers is only fair if they include the same things.
Private or shared?
Find out whether the tour is private or shared with other travellers. A private tour lets you set the pace and change the plan. Ask who the driver and the guide are and which languages they speak.
Accommodation and the desert camp
Ask what type of desert camp or hotel is used, whether rooms are private and what facilities there are. Tell the operator if you have any special needs.
Before you pay
Ask how to pay, when the booking is confirmed and what happens if your plans change. Keep the details in writing.
Entry rules depend on your nationality, so check them with the official Moroccan authorities before you travel.
