Frequently asked questions

The drive takes approximately 6-7 hours one way, including several scenic stops along the route to stretch, explore, and take photos.

Zagora is located at the edge of the Sahara Desert, so the dunes here are smaller compared to those in Merzouga. However, the charm lies in the serene desert atmosphere and the overall experience of camel trekking and camping.

We recommend bringing comfortable clothing, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a warm jacket for the evening, and a small backpack for essentials. Don’t forget your camera to capture the breathtaking views!

Yes, we can cater to specific dietary requirements, such as vegetarian or gluten-free meals, with prior notice. Please inform us when booking or as soon as possible before the tour date.

Rain is rare in the Zagora Desert, but tours will proceed as planned unless extreme weather makes travel unsafe. In such cases, alternative arrangements or refunds will be provided, depending on the situation.
