The Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world spanning across the top of the African continent, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Red Sea in the east.

So, have you considered exploring a small part of this vast landscape on a camel trekking holiday in Morocco? Perhaps images of Lawrence of Arabia or scenes from TV adverts advertising Turkish Delight come to mind! But a visit to the world’s largest desert is an adventure to be taken at least once in a lifetime.

Holiday companies can arrange for simple one day treks to excursions lasting as long as a fortnight. Explore the golden sand dunes of Erg Chebbi, experience the beauty and silence of travelling in such a unique landscape and be amazed by the millions of stars shining in the vast dark skies at night. Such trips will also involve a visit to a secluded oasis and will include authentic Berber food prepared in a traditional way over an open fire.
