Travel tips and advice

On my first trip to Morocco with friends, I was curious to see how a second journey would feel. Later, my husband and I travelled from Marrakech towards the Erg Chegaga desert, and the experience was even more enjoyable than expected. I had some concerns about staying in a Sahara camp, especially because I was not sure how comfortable the experience would be, but the setting, organisation and welcome made the stay memorable. I have had positive experiences in Morocco, and thoughtful support from the travel team made a real difference. Instead of feeling like an anonymous customer, I felt treated as a guest and a friend. This is the kind of practical, personal care travellers should look for when choosing a Marrakech desert tour.
