Relax in desert palaces with a Berber touch

Nestled at the edge of the dunes, Desert Auberges blend comfort with tradition. Think handwoven carpets, earthy walls, and cozy courtyards filled with lantern light. It’s the kind of place where you’re welcomed like family. After a homemade tagine dinner, gather around the fire for soft Berber melodies under the stars. It’s simple, soulful, and unforgettable—a true taste of desert life.

Camel Ride

Traverse the desert in an authentic Berber caravan

Step into the rhythm of the Sahara as you ride atop a gentle camel, just as the Berbers have for centuries. Guided through rolling golden dunes, your caravan moves with quiet grace, offering unmatched views of the vast desert landscape. For an unforgettable moment, set out at sunrise or sunset—the shifting light paints the sands in shades of gold, pink, and deep orange, turning your ride into pure magic.

Stargazing in the Sahara

Sleep among a million stars

When night falls over the Sahara, the sky transforms into a canvas of endless stars. Far from city lights, the stillness of the desert makes each constellation shine brighter, each moment more magical. Nestled between soft dunes, you can lie back, listen to the silence, and watch the universe unfold above you. It’s a humbling, unforgettable experience—where time slows, and the stars feel just within reach.

Luxury Desert Camp

Sleep under the stars in desert elegance

Nestled deep among the golden dunes of the Sahara, luxury desert camps offer a rare blend of comfort and adventure. Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, traveling with loved ones, or simply chasing the magic of the desert, these camps create unforgettable memories. Tiziri Camp, the first eco-conscious retreat of its kind in the Moroccan Sahara, is built with heart and harmony—designed to blend sustainability with serenity. Here, you can stargaze from your tent, enjoy candlelit dinners on the sand, and wake to the sunrise painting the dunes in gold.

Sahara Desert

Experience the vast silence and timeless beauty

The Sahara isn’t just a desert—it’s a feeling. As you step onto its soft golden dunes, everything else fades away. The silence is deep and powerful, broken only by the sound of wind or your own breath. It’s a place where the stars shine brighter, the pace of life slows, and the simplest moments—like sipping tea by a fire—become unforgettable. The Sahara is more than a landscape; it’s a soul-stirring escape into nature’s

Gnawa Culture

Listen to the soul of the desert through music

The Gnawa people carry a deep musical heritage rooted in African and spiritual traditions. In their desert communities, you’ll find rhythmic chants, iron castanets (krakebs), and bass-heavy melodies that echo across the sands. More than music, it’s a healing ritual—drawing you into a trance of drums and devotion. Sit with the Gnawa, feel the pulse of their history, and let their powerful performance connect you to something timeless.
