Local operator coordinating national trips
Find available dates, trip details, and booking options for Apostle Islands, Boundary Waters, and Arches & Canyonlands excursions.
Layer for big temperature swings
Coastal mornings, chilly Atlas evenings and warm desert afternoons require breathable layers and a warm outer layer for night camps.
Carry cash for markets and cooperatives
Small vendors and women’s cooperatives often prefer cash—bring Moroccan dirham for purchases and tips in souks and rural stops.
Choose the 4x4 if mobility is a concern
If you prefer not to ride a camel, the accessible 4×4 option covers the same desert views without missing cultural stops.
Protect your camera gear from sand
Use a sealed bag or camera cover during dune excursions and change lenses in sheltered areas to avoid grit.
Lightweight layering system
Breathable base layers, insulating mid-layer and windproof shell handle coast-to-desert temperature swings.
Compact headlamp
Useful for camp nights, early departures for sunrise camel treks, and navigating dim medina alleyways.
Sturdy walking shoes
Comfortable shoes with good grip for cobbled streets, canyon trails, and campsite terrain.
Sand protection (bandana or gaiter)
Keeps sand out of face and gear during dune crossings and windy conditions.
