Operator, not marketplace
We book the camps you sleep in and the 4x4s and camels you ride, with desert guides and drivers we work with directly. If something goes wrong out in the dunes, you call us — not a marketplace help desk.

The desert team
A small Sahara outfit, planning private dune camps and journeys.
We're a desert-tour specialist that plans every camp stay and 4x4/camel journey — across the Erg Chebbi and Zagora dunes, with departures from Marrakech and Fes. Operated by Serenity Morocco Tours. A small team, one phone number, and a list of returning travellers we are quietly proud of.

Where we work
Erg Chebbi and the Sahara
Our story · in plain language
We started with one stubborn idea.
Plan the desert trip ourselves rather than resell other people's. Book camps we know, check conditions before you arrive, work with drivers and camel handlers we know, plan every Sahara route by hand — then charge a transparent fee on top of the real cost.
We stay deliberately small. We run a limited number of desert tours a year, many of them returning families and friends-of-friends. We are slow to scale and fast to answer the phone.
What we believe
Four convictions, in plain language.
These aren't marketing lines. They are the four arguments we have had repeatedly around the campfire — and the answers we have settled on.
One team, start to finish
The same person who answers your first message plans your Sahara route and answers the phone on the trip. From the moment you leave Marrakech or Fes to your last sunrise over Erg Chebbi, you do not pass through a call centre.
Quietly responsible
Local Amazigh camp crews, fair driver day-rates, and low-impact routes that keep the dunes intact. We carry out what we carry in, and we pay every supplier within days of invoice — not the months the industry normalises.
Honest pricing
Real desert ground costs — camp, fuel, camels, permits — plus a transparent operator fee, itemised in every quote. No hidden margins, no commissioned upsells, no dynamic pricing surprises.
How we work
How we run the desert, honestly told.
- I
We plan every trip ourselves
We plan the camp stays on the edge of Erg Chebbi outside Merzouga and the journeys that lead there. The whole idea is to plan every desert trip ourselves rather than resell other people's packages.
- II
Drivers we know
We work with experienced desert drivers who know the Merzouga and Zagora pistes — people we work with again and again, not a rotating cast of strangers.
- III
We pay our suppliers fairly
Local Amazigh camp crews, camel handlers and cooks are paid fair day-rates and settled within days — not the months the industry too often normalises. Low-impact routes keep the dunes intact.
- IV
Across the Erg Chebbi and Zagora dunes
We book camps for both the classic Merzouga route and the gentler Erg Chigaga sands near Zagora, with departures from Marrakech and Fes.
- V
Small by design
We are deliberately a small outfit. Slow to scale, fast to answer the phone.
The direct difference

The next desert journey starts with you.
A few lines about who you are, when you'd like to ride into the dunes, and whether you're starting from Marrakech or Fes — that is genuinely enough for us to write back with route options and a real, itemised quote. We confirm by email within 24 hours.
