What to Pack for a Morocco Desert Tour

Heading to the Sahara? Here's exactly what to pack for a Morocco desert tour.

Clothing

  • Lightweight, breathable layers for the day.
  • Warm layers for the desert night — it gets cold, even in summer.
  • Modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees.

Desert essentials

  • A scarf or turban to protect against sand and sun.
  • Sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat.
  • A small flashlight or headlamp for the camp at night.
  • A refillable water bottle.

Footwear

Closed shoes for the camel trek and walking on sand — not flip-flops.

Leave at home

Heavy luggage stays in your vehicle; take only a small overnight bag to the desert camp.
