If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Morocco, a camel trek into the desert is a must-do activity. Before setting out, your guide will take you into the village to buy a traditional head scarf to protect you from the sun. Then, you'll climb onto your camel and journey out into the vast desert landscape.
Your tour operator should take care of your meals, water, tents, and other necessities, but it's important to confirm these details beforehand and ask lots of questions. It's also wise to do your research before arriving in Morocco and ask other travelers for recommendations and pricing information, as bargaining is expected and can be quite competitive.
On the first night, most tours will stop at a pre-set campsite at the base of some large sand dunes. Here, you'll enjoy a cooked dinner, perhaps some music, and have the chance to explore the surrounding area under a blanket of stars. If you're only on a one-day trip, you'll wake up early the next morning, have breakfast, and head back before the heat of the day sets in.
For those on a longer trip, you may choose to spend the day relaxing in the shade of the Berber tents or venturing further out into the desert. You might even stay with a Berber family, immersing yourself in the local culture and way of life. On the third day, you'll set out to return to civilization, but the memories of your desert adventure will stay with you forever.
