Your questions / Our answers

How to discover Morocco differently

The country holds many treasures still hidden from view, and we love revealing them to you exclusively, along with the Moroccan hospitality found in the small villages scattered across desert and mountains. Our sample journey along the southern route lets you see Morocco as no one has seen it before.
Let yourself be surprised by wild beaches, oases, sand dunes, ochre-earth villages and mountains. Discover Morocco’s Grand Sud under exceptional conditions.
An alternation of plateaus, villages nestled in the bends of an oued, valleys with their small, well-kept vegetable gardens. No two days will be alike, each moment a return to the simplicity of feeling.
Far from the crowds of Marrakech and the big cities, amid the dunes, by the ocean, at the heart of the Atlas’s snow-capped peaks, in spectacular, unspoiled oases. This is the Morocco we want you to discover with Étendues Sauvages.

Is it possible to sleep in the desert in a private camp?

Absolutely. True luxury: a private luxury bivouac set up just for you, for two… or more if you wish!
Amid the dunes, under a remarkable starry sky.
The camp includes tent-rooms with full bedding, a lounge tent, a sanitary tent, and a logistics and kitchen tent.
A logistics team, a guide and a cook take care of making your stay comfortable.
The more people there are, the more the logistics cost is shared.
Likewise, the second night costs less than the first, as much of the cost is tied to setting up the camp.

Is the Moroccan desert easy to reach?

From Marrakech, you can reach the Agafay desert, some thirty kilometres away, on the first foothills of the High Atlas range. This rocky desert has a moon-like landscape set among rolling hills of white and ochre dunes. Admire the contrast between the Atlas’s snow-capped peaks and the warm desert colours at sunset.
Dreaming of the endless dunes of the Sahara?
Allow at least 4 hours from Marrakech to cross the Atlas and reach Ouarzazate, then the Zagora desert, the closest part of the Sahara to Marrakech, at around 7 hours (360km). The route takes you through stunning Atlas landscapes, then the Skoura palm grove and the traditional town of Ait Ben Haddou. A stopover here is highly recommended!
This desert has fewer dunes, however, than the Merzouga desert, 10 hours from Marrakech (550km), the most striking part of the Moroccan desert — the desert as we picture it in our imagination!
One or more overnight stops are even recommended, to visit Ouarzazate, the Drâa Valley, the Dadès Gorges, the Valley of the Roses, the Todra Gorges and the town of Ait Ben Haddou.
A full week can easily be devoted to exploring the Moroccan desert.
