Rose Valley and Skoura Palm Grove: This road may see you going through sweet-smelling Rose Valley, especially at the time of year when the roses are in flower, or the extensive palm grove of Skoura, where there are many kasbahs and the feel of the place is very relaxing.

Key Regions of the Moroccan Desert: Where Dreams Take Shape
The overall size of the Moroccan Desert comes in, yet when a connoisseur of Sahara experiences travels wants the true Moroccan desert on a visit Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga are the two main dune regions. Both provide a desert adventure of another flavor.
1. Erg Chebbi (Merzouga): The Iconic Golden Dunes
The most well known and the most visited dune field by far in the Moroccan Desert is the Erg Chebbi which can be accessed by visiting the village of Merzouga.
Iconic Beauty: Its dunes are really amazing and attain a height of more than 150 meters (almost 500 feet) forming a dramatic and ever-changing panorama of golden sand. They are ideal to take photos, enjoy a camel trek and sand boarding.
Accessibility: Merzouga is relatively easy to access and although it is necessary to drive good roads to reach its fringe it can be a perfect destination model of travelers who can withhold a variety because it is inviting even to families and to those with less time.
Colorful Local Culture: Local Berber people around Merzouga are warm, and there is a population of Gnawa people of Khamlia, who make spiritual music. This puts a cultural immersion on abundant offers.
● Varied Activities: With the unique geography and the local infrastructure nearby Merzouga, there is an unbelievable number of activities, ranging to the traditional camel trek to full off-road escapades.
2. Erg Chigaga: The Wild and Remote Sahara
Erg Chigaga, even further south and west, is wilder, more distant dune-scape and takes longer in a 4×4 to drive to arrive.
● Extreme Isolation: In search of the ultimate level of relaxation and an utterly out-of-the-way experience, Erg Chigaga can be described as extreme in its sense of remoteness and seclusion, which is less touristy.
Scale: It is bigger and more extensive dune field, it provides endless views and a sense of being really at the core of the Sahara.
● Authenticity: Since it is a remote place, even the contact with nomadic societies might be even more unspoiled and realistic.
3. Agafay Desert: The Stone Desert Near Marrakech
Some people do not have the time to go to Sahara or they simply do not wish to travel that far away; there is also Agafay Desert near Marrakech, which is in a way another type of desert. It does not contain any sandy dunes, but is a rocky desert, still offering a fantastical vacation.
● Accessibility: This one is right by Marrakech and one can make an easy day trip or spend a night.
Stargazing and Sunset Dinners Stargazing and enjoying the beauties of sunsets together with traditional dinners are also a possibility without distant trips.

Essential Tips for Your Moroccan Desert Adventure
In order to make your trip to Moroccan Desert as comfortable and enjoyable, as possible, your expert moroccan travel agency presents some practical tips to do so:
● Best Time to Travel: According to the climate and weather, the best time to visit the Moroccan Desert is between October and May when it is cooler. The daytime temperatures are comfortable and they are cool at night. Summers (June to September) can be very hot, bent in the rains till the temperature rises, but few tourists visit the place anyway.
● Pack Smart:
Layers: The difference between daytime temperatures and nighttime temperatures is harsh in the desert. Bring light clothes during the days and warm clothes (fleece, jacket, hat) at the night as it can be cold.
○ Proper Footwear: Comfortable shoes in closed toes or solid sandals to walk in the sand are a must.
Sun Protection: The use of wide-brimmed hat, sun glasses and high-SPF sunscreen is essential to sun protection.
Scarf/Head Covering: A sheer scarf (the type should look close to a shesh or keffiyeh) will do a great job keeping your head and face out of the sun and the sand.
Day Trip Must-Haves: Small Backpack & Power Bank
● Drink Water: You should have bottled water. Air in the desert is dry and water deficiency may come fast.
Camera Basics: Extra Memory Cards and Batteries. There are just limitless photo opportunities!
● Respect Local customs: whenever in contact with locals, in Berber villages in particular, dress decently and be considerate with the local customs. Sometimes it is necessary to ask when taking pictures of individuals.
● Appreciation of the Silence: Try to sit, listen and drink of the awe of this absolute silence of the desert. It is meditative indeed.
Digital Detox: Why not switch off your phone and take some time off? A desert is the best place to unplug and be in the moment.
● Motion Sickness: Winding roads up the mountains towards the desert could cause motion sickness so unless you are not much of a motion sick person then bring medications.
These tips will help you be fully ready to have an unbelievable and comfortable experience in the Morocco Desert.
