Recommended Excursions into the Sahara and the Deep South
![]() |
|
The Sahara feels like such a distant image that it would not seem possible to get there and back in two days from Zagora but with Rediscover the World a visit to the real desert of Morocco's deep south is a reality. The nearest section of the Sahara in just a little south of Zagora and it is in this region that we offer some stunning experiences - the '04z' at Erg Lihoudi, the '01z' at Tellougui Oasis and the 03z which is an extended camel Meharee throug the whole area.
All travel is by 4WD vehicle, most meals are included and, crucially, there is an extended camel ride into the desert with an overnight stay in a Berber tent in a beautiful and peaceful setting.

Customer comments:
"We had a great time, and would strongly recommend the 4-day camel trek from Zagora - organisation was very good, guides were great and we would go back. The driver back to Zagora was excellent and allowed us a lot of opportunities to sightsee."
"Our camel excursion was very memorable: Youssef who was our guide, was fantastic and had a great sense of humour - he may deal with tour groups every day but he certainly made us feel special."
