Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions? We have the answers! Here you will find all the important information to help you prepare for your journey with Magic of Desert and experience unforgettable moments in Morocco.
General Information & Organization
Where is your desert camp located, and how do I get there?
Our Magic of Desert camp is located just a few kilometers from M’hamid El Ghizlane, the last village before the open desert in southern Morocco. You can reach us from Marrakech or Agadir by private transfer, rental car, or public bus (e.g., Supratours). We’re happy to organize transport for you on request.
What is the best time to travel to the desert?
The best time to visit is from October to April, when temperatures are pleasant. During summer (June to August), daytime heat can be extreme, and we do not offer tours in this period.
What accommodation options are available at the camp?
You’ll stay in stylish private huts that offer peace and comfort. Each hut has a private bathroom and is furnished with a cozy bed, traditional details, and thoughtful touches. Unlike many desert camps, we do not use nomadic tents for overnight stays.
Is there electricity and Wi-Fi at the camp?
Yes, our camp has sustainable electricity for lighting and device charging. Wi-Fi is available upon request – but the desert invites you to connect mindfully: with nature, yourself, and the moment.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept PayPal and cash on site. More details will be provided upon booking.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
If you need to cancel your trip, graduated cancellation conditions apply. Specific deadlines and potential refunds can be found in our terms and conditions.
Retreats, Workshops & Activities
Do you organize your own retreats or workshops?
We don’t host regular retreats ourselves but offer a space for coaches, trainers, and groups to organize their own retreats in the desert or in combination with a trekking tour.
Can external coaches host their own retreats with you?
Absolutely! Our camp is ideal for yoga, mindfulness, coaching, or other retreats. Groups can take advantage of the desert’s special atmosphere to create meaningful experiences. We’re happy to help with organization and logistics.
How can I host a retreat or workshop with you?
If you want to organize a retreat or workshop in the unique atmosphere of the desert, you’re in the right place. Our camp provides the perfect setting – with cozy huts, a large rooftop terrace for open-air sessions, and space for retreat and exchange. Mobile retreats combined with desert trekking are also possible – creating an even deeper connection to the nature and silence of the desert. Send us a message with your ideas, and we’ll plan the details together to ensure your retreat becomes an unforgettable experience!
Desert Treks & Round Trips
What kind of tours do you offer?
We offer multi-day camel trekking tours and round trips through southern Morocco. All tours can be tailored to your wishes.
Do you offer tours departing from different cities?
Yes, our tours don’t just start in M’hamid – they can also be arranged from Marrakech or Agadir.
How big are the groups on your tours?
We currently offer private tours only, so group size depends on your booking – whether you travel as a couple, family, or group. We recommend a maximum of 8 people for a more personal experience.
How do camel trekking tours work?
Our treks usually begin at the camp and are guided by experienced nomads who know the desert intimately. You can choose to walk or ride a camel. Overnight stays are in tents or under the stars.
What should I bring for a trekking tour?
Important items include comfortable clothes, trekking sandals or hiking shoes, a small backpack, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. You’ll receive a detailed packing list after booking.
Can I combine the camp stay with a desert trek or round trip?
Yes it’s a wonderful way to experience the desert from different angles. Many guests relax at the camp for a few days and then go on a multi-day trek.
Do you offer shorter or customized tours?
es, in addition to longer treks and round trips, we also offer shorter excursions. If you have special requests, we’ll gladly create your own custom dream tour.
How fit do I need to be for a desert trek?
General physical fitness is sufficient. We adjust the pace to the group, and you always have the option to ride a camel in between.
Food & Special Requests
Are meals included in the trekking tours?
Yes, all our camel treks include full-board with freshly prepared traditional Moroccan dishes.
Do you cater to special dietary needs?
Yes, we offer vegetarian and vegan meals. Please let us know your needs in advance.
Are there any specific rules or behavior to be aware of?
Respect for nature, people, and culture is essential to us. The desert is a sensitive ecosystem, and we encourage a mindful approach.
Can I travel alone?
