GUIDE -
WHAT SHOULD I PACK?
This guide contains information regarding the Merzouga trip.
To help you prepare for the unforgettable Sahara experience, we designed a list of things you’ll most likely need while staying with us in desert camps and tips regarding the Merzouga trip.
Remember to leave your big luggage (suitcases, etc.) in our minibusses before leaving for the desert camp. As for the desert itself – a small backpack will do.
Bottled Water
Your own drinking bottled water – there will most likely be no water in the desert, so make sure to provide yourself with the right amount of water while staying in one of our camps.
Hand Sanitizer
Because of the limited access to running water, hand sanitizer or wet wipes can help you to stay fresh, clean, and safe.
Medicines
Painkillers and the ones you take regularly. If you suffer from motion sickness, in Morocco there is one called nautamine; it costs around 1,5 EUR / 17 MAD and can save your life during bumpy camel rides!
Sun Protection
Sun protection and sunglasses – especially in the summertime.
Long Scarf
To cover your face and protect it from the sand, wind, or excessive sun exposure.
Power Bank
To charge your phone quickly. Bear in mind that the internet signal will most likely be limited or none. A perfect social media detox, isn’t it?
Warm Clothes
There are many warm cozy blankets in the tents. However, thermoactive clothing is a must-have during lovely yet cold nights in the desert.
Emergency Blanket
Doesn’t take up a lot of space and keeps you warm during a cold night in the desert.
Cash for Tips
Not obligatory, but a nice gesture. Berbers work tirelessly from early morning to late night with genuine kindness. Why not support the local employees?
Memories to Last a Lifetime
Spend an unforgettable night beneath the Sahara stars, surrounded by silence, campfires, and endless dunes. Few experiences feel this magical — relax, enjoy every moment, and let the desert stay with you forever.
