Frequently asked

Package questions, answered.

Are these Sahara desert packages private or group trips?
Every package is 100% private — just you and the people you book with. We do not pool travellers. You keep your own driver-guide, 4x4 and pace from start to finish.
Can I change the dates or length of a desert tour?
Yes. Every itinerary is a starting point. Add a day in the dunes, swap a gorge, change the start city — we re-quote within 24 hours and lock the price in writing before any payment.
How much does a Sahara desert tour cost?
Price depends on the route, the season and the standard of the desert camp, so we tailor each tour and quote it on request. Send us your dates and group size and you'll get a real, itemised quote within 24 hours.
When is the best time to book a desert tour?
Erg Chebbi camps in high season (October–April) fill up 8–12 weeks ahead. For the hot summer months a few weeks is usually enough. Last-minute trips are possible with a phone call.

Want a custom Sahara package?

Send a few lines — when you're coming, who's with you, how long you want in the dunes. You'll get a written itinerary and a real, itemised quote within 24 hours.
