Luggage is managed by a procession of camels while you soak in the vastness of the desert, meet nomads, observe wildlife, and disconnect from the world in the serenity of the Moroccan Sahara. Your days are shaped by the sun’s rhythm; everyone moves at their own pace with the camel drivers. Each day begins with the gathering of camels, which graze on desert vegetation overnight, the collection of firewood, and the preparation of tea and sand-baked bread. Nights are spent under the stars, in tents, sampling the finest Moroccan cuisine prepared by the camel handlers.
