Private Sahara Desert Tours | Luxury & Custom Safaris

Private Sahara desert tours give you the Moroccan desert entirely to yourself — your own vehicle, driver-guide, and desert camp, with a flexible itinerary built around you. Whether you dream of a luxury tented suite among the dunes or a custom route at your own pace, a private desert safari is the most comfortable and exclusive way to experience the Sahara. At Morocco Tours Expert, every desert tour we run is private by default.

Why Choose a Private Desert Tour?

On a private Sahara tour, nothing is shared with strangers. You travel on your own schedule, stop whenever you like, choose your level of comfort, and enjoy the undivided attention of your driver-guide. It is ideal for couples, families, honeymooners, and small groups who want privacy, flexibility, and a more personal connection with the desert and its people.

What Makes It Private

  • Your own vehicle & driver-guide — a comfortable private 4×4 or minivan, just for your group.
  • A flexible itinerary — set the pace and the stops; linger longer wherever you wish.
  • Private desert camp options — from comfortable to fully exclusive luxury camps.
  • Personal touches — private dinners, special celebrations, and tailored experiences.

Luxury Desert Camps

For a truly special trip, stay in a luxury desert camp at Erg Chebbi — private en-suite tented suites with real beds, hot showers, and candlelit gourmet dinners under the stars, complete with Berber music around the campfire and a sunrise over the dunes. Pair it with our luxury Morocco tours for an indulgent journey from start to finish.

Private Desert Tour Options

Travel privately to either of Morocco’s desert regions: the dramatic dunes of Merzouga and Erg Chebbi, or the closer, quicker Zagora desert. Choose any length, from a 2-day escape to a multi-day adventure, and we will tailor it to you. Browse all our Sahara desert tours for ideas.

What’s Included

Our private desert tours typically include an exclusive air-conditioned vehicle and driver-guide, a camel trek, an overnight desert camp of your chosen standard, dinner and breakfast in the desert, and scenic stops along the way. Every detail — route, pace, accommodation, and experiences — is tailored to your group.

Best Time for a Private Desert Tour

The best time to visit is October to April, with comfortable days and clear, starry nights. Spring and autumn are ideal, summer middays are very hot (camel treks are timed for the cooler hours), and winter nights are cold but beautifully clear.
