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.
