Q1.What Should I Wear In a Desert Climate?
The Sahara Desert is one of the driest and hottest regions of the world. Average summer temperatures range from over 35°C (95°F) to 14°C (57°F) in winter months. Daily variations of temperature may also be extreme. The temperature also varies greatly depending on the location of the desert. Comfortable outdoor footwear and outerwear that you can layer are recommended. We advise our travellers to use eco-friendly sunscreen, a hat and a scarf for body protection. Traditional Berber tents located in the desert are equipped with warm blankets and comfortable beds for chilly desertic nights.
Q2.Is 2 days trip enough to visit Sahara Desert?
∴ Travelling from Marrakech to Zagora / Sahara Desert requires a full day spend on the road. The views along the way are scenic, the landscape change dramatically as you travel through the High Atlas Mountains, rocky deserts and lush palm oasis. Please note, the journey takes about 10 hours, with a few stops along the way to admire the scenic views and relax with a glass of tea. ∴ While there are people who love 2 days trips and time spend on the road, we understand that the length and intensity of this tour might sometimes be too demanding for certain travellers. ∴ Our 2 days tour covers the glimpse of Morocco and its charm. We do recommend extending this tour to 3days if you would like to truly discover the landscape and culture.
