Two Nights in the Sahara At A Luxury Desert Camp

We’d seen the Sahara in photos before this trip. Big orange dunes. Camels. Fancy tents.

What nobody really tells you is how quiet it feels once you’re actually out there. Not peaceful in a dramatic movie way. Just properly quiet. Like your ears suddenly realise how much noise they normally deal with.

This ended up being one of the biggest highlights of our entire Morocco road trip.

And honestly, we were slightly nervous it wouldn’t live up to the hype.

We were gifted a 2 night stay at The Sahara Majestic Luxury Desert Camp (Book Here) and it was just phenomenal

We’d spent the night before on the edge of the desert, then drove over to a hotel where we left our car for two days. You can’t drive your own car out into the dunes unless you fancy getting spectacularly stuck in the sand somewhere.

The camp arranged a 4x4 pickup for us. You can do a camel trek into camp instead, but the second we started flying over those dunes we knew we’d made the right choice.

Jax was screaming laughing in the back.

“THIS FEELS LIKE A ROLLERCOASTER.”

Fair assessment to be fair.

The driver kept launching us up steep dunes where you genuinely couldn’t see what was on the other side until suddenly the whole car tipped forward and dropped down the other side. Equal parts fun and mild panic.

Then out of nowhere, the camp appeared in the middle of absolutely nowhere.

We were greeted with cold drinks and immediately shown to our tent.

And when they say luxury tent, they really mean it.
