The experience
Same dunes, softer landing. This is the Erg Chebbi trip for travelers who want the camel trek at sunset and the night under the stars — with a more comfortable camp, better bedding, and unhurried timing.
Days are paced around you rather than a convoy schedule: longer at the dunes, slower over the Atlas, dinner when you’re hungry.
Tell us your dates and comfort preferences and we confirm everything in writing — route, camp level, services, and pricing — before anything is booked.

Only after you approve your written quote, on the terms it lists. No charges before your explicit approval.
What is included?
Your written quote lists exactly what’s included — transport, desert camp stay, meals, camel trek or alternative, activities — line by line. If it isn’t listed, it isn’t included.
What makes it “luxury”?
Comfort level: upgraded camp accommodation and a more private, unhurried experience. Your quote specifies exactly what the luxury tier covers, so you can compare honestly.
Is the desert suitable for children or older travelers?
Many families and older travelers enjoy it, but desert camps involve sand walking and basic terrain. Share ages and mobility needs in your inquiry so your specialist advises honestly.
What should I pack?
Layers for cold desert nights, sun protection, and closed shoes for sand. Your specialist can share a packing checklist with your quote.
Can I customize it?
Yes — extend your stay, adjust the route, or combine it with other regions. Your specialist revises the plan and sends an updated written quote.
Do you operate the tour yourselves?
No. Souk & Sand is a planning studio that helps travelers plan Morocco trips and connects them with appropriate verified local specialists. We’re building that network now.
