Erfoud’s private desert tours deliver exactly what adventurous travelers need – authentic Sahara experiences without the tourist crowds. Two standout options include a 2-day journey from Fes ($472) and a comprehensive 4-day trek from Fes to Marrakech (Kč 19,208). I’m particularly fond of the 4-day option for its perfect mix of activities: camel treks across golden dunes, exhilarating sandboarding, and guided hikes through ancient landscapes. Both tours include quality lodging – including luxury desert camps – traditional Berber meals, and hassle-free private transport. Flexible booking with 24-hour cancellation makes planning worry-free. Let’s explore the top desert tours that make Erfoud special.
