Best Time to Visit the Sahara Desert in Morocco
12 October 2026 · 6 min read
The best months for a Morocco desert tour are March to May and late September to November. Days are warm (22–30°C), nights are cool and clear, and the camel trek at sunset is comfortable.
Winter (December–February)
Sunny days around 18°C but nights can drop near freezing in Merzouga. Our camps provide heavy blankets and heated tents — it's the best season for stargazing.
Summer (June–August)
Daytime heat can exceed 40°C. We schedule driving early, rest at midday and ride camels only at sunset and sunrise.
Our tip
Book around a new moon for the clearest Milky Way above Erg Chebbi.
