Plenty of destinations can offer you a sea of wonder; but how many can boast one made entirely of sand? You see, when it comes to unique adventures, Morocco doesn’t settle for drops in the ocean. There, every grain of sand reveals something truly extraordinary. And no place speaks to this more than the Erg Chebbi dunes of the Sahara Desert, where every windswept plain will have your clients riding the wave of discovery!
Morocco’s Hourglass of Adventure
If ever there was a place where the sands of time seep with adventure (quite literally), it’s across the Erg Chebbi. Accessible through Merzouga, Morocco’s gateway to the Sahara Desert, the plains of Erg Chebbi are where scenes from The Mummy Returns meet the poetry of nature across over 14 silky miles of golden sand. But before you start looking for water, we’re here to let you know that the Erg Chebbi is also the setting for one of Morocco by Travelive’s most unforgettable and exotic adventures; one that will have your clients surfing across the highest sand dunes in comfort and style. And here’s how it might unfold.
- A Journey Across Shifting Horizons — Private Jet & 4WD Transfer to Erg Chebbi
Your clients’ passage into the Sahara begins long before their feet touch its sands. Departing from Marrakech or Fes, the adventure commences in the luxury of a private jet, as it soars over crimson plateaus, rippling wadis, and terracotta frontiers that reveal Morocco’s raw beauty from above.
Upon landing, a private 4WD will be waiting to take them across the dramatic landscapes of the Eastern High Atlas, where ochre canyons soften into wind-brushed plains and the first golden waves of Erg Chebbi rise on the horizon. A gradual unveiling of Morocco’s desert majesty, this isn’t just a transfer; it’s a journey where every cloud and every mile guides your clients deeper into the kingdom of sand-swept wonder.
Insider Tip: Pausing amid the 4WD transfer for some photos is a must; as the light that dances across the rocky plateaus is always one step away from conjuring up a mirage.
- A Ride Across the Dunes — Private Camel Trek
Nothing captures the essence of the Sahara quite like swaying atop a gentle dromedary, guided by a local Berber who knows the desert like the back of his hand. Leaving a trail of golden footprints behind, you get to watch the cinnamon-colored dunes shift, shimmer, and stretch endlessly toward the horizon. A timeless rite of passage that weaves one directly into Morocco’s cultural landscape, this is your clients’ quintessential welcome into the magical expanse of the desert.
Insider Tip: Book a late-afternoon ride. As the sun sinks, the dunes glow in shades of amber and rose, painting a picture of Morocco that no one forgets.
- Champagne at Sunset — A Toast to the Sahara
At the crest of a secluded dune, your clients will discover a scene worthy of One Thousand and One Nights: plush cushions set in soft amber sand, chilled champagne waiting in crystal flutes, and the Sahara unfolding in all directions like an endless, shimmering sea. And as the sky turns molten gold, they’ll raise a glass to something even greater, something that is as vast as the cosmos yet intimately theirs.
Insider Tip: Pair this indulgence directly after a camel trek for the perfect balance of adventure and elegance.
- Dinner Beneath a Sky Full of Stars — Private Desert Dining
As night falls, the desert transforms into one of the most enchanting dining rooms on Earth. Lanterns glow softly against sweeping dunes, Berber rugs warm the sand beneath your feet, and fragrant Moroccan dishes arrive one by one, each carrying centuries of tradition. Surrounded only by candlelight and the caressing touch of the wind, guests dine in the kind of silence that feels almost sacred, a luxury found only on the plains of the Sahara.
Insider Tip: Opt for some stargazing beneath the constellations. The Sahara’s night sky is famously clear; a celestial canopy that feels close enough to touch.
