2025 Sahara Desert Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

🐪The purpose of traveling is not only to see the world, but more to understand customs and culture, and to know that there are many people in the world who live in different ways. When traveling to Egypt, visiting the Sahara Desert is a must. The air in the desert is extremely dry, and water cannot be used arbitrarily. The actual experience can really make you feel the difficulty of life. 🐪Bedouins are a branch of Arabs, distributed in West Asia and North Africa, and live a nomadic life in the desert as a clan unit. In addition to visiting local residents, you can also play in the sand, ride camels, and do various tricks throughout the day. It's super fun❤️ P.S. Every Egyptian child is so cute and has long eyelashes #Bedouin

📍Sunrise Sahara Camp A new-school camp that has just opened The owner is Spanish and Berber run The design idea is quite European but preserves the traditional elements of the Berbers For me desert tents are pretty much the same Only the design, furnishings, decorations inside are different The appearance would be like a circus-shaped tent Before going to Morocco I asked him if there was a special tent to stay He shared Sunrise now, surprisingly created a spherical shape, as soon as he saw it said he must go ✅ Get 4 tents, occupancy rate up to 8 people, definitely away from the hustle and bustle, more privacy ✅ There is a 180 degree floor-to-ceiling glass inside the Tent, facing the sand dune view 🫶 You can see it by opening the curtains at night ✨🌕 ✅ There are open-air beds outside each tent, sleeping on the bed at night to watch ⭐️ Great ⚠️ The only thing to note is that there is no window that can be opened in the tent, the only way to open the door is sealed to circulate, so summer or hot noon is basically quite boring, so it is very important to see the weather!! ️ #OverseasTravel #africaTravel #Morocco #morocco #travelPhotography

stunning Bedouin camp for the night

#HawaiiFlightEvent The Sahara Desert tour in Siwa, Egypt was a truly unique experience. Siwa Oasis was so quiet that it felt like it was cut off from the outside world, and the scenery of the oasis village in the middle of the desert was unrealistically beautiful. Desert tours are usually conducted in 4WD vehicles, and it was thrilling like riding a roller coaster every time the driver went over the sand dunes. The sunset seen from the endless sand dunes was indescribably enchanting. The red sky and golden desert blended together like a scene from a movie.

#MarchTravelSupportEvent The sunrise I saw in the Sahara Desert was truly an unforgettable experience. As the Egyptian sun rose over the sand dunes of the desert, the sky turned red and orange, and its light seemed to warmly embrace the entire desert. The sand sparkled gold, and the quiet beauty of the desert stood out even more. The Egyptian sun dominated the desert with its heat and intensity, giving the feeling that everything was beginning anew. When the cold night air disappeared and the warm morning sunlight illuminated the desert, I could truly feel the mystery of nature in the vast landscape of the Sahara.

#MarchTravelSupportEvent Waiting for a car with a flat tire in the Sahara Desert really required patience. The car stopped in the middle of the vast desert, and while sitting there waiting, I only felt the silence and hot sun around me. Even when the wind blew, the sand blew, and in an atmosphere where everything seemed to have stopped, time seemed to pass slowly. In that situation, I was able to feel the vastness of the desert more deeply, with a sense of tension and relaxation until the people who would help me replace the tire arrived. That moment was uncomfortable, but it was a unique experience that allowed me to truly feel the silence of the desert and the power of nature.

#MarchTravelSupportEvent The road to Abu Simbel was a moment to admire the vast landscape as it passed through the Sahara Desert. The endless sand dunes and the vast sky made it feel like another world. Along with the quiet atmosphere of the desert, if you time it right for sunset or sunrise, you can enjoy a more mysterious and magnificent landscape. This trip across the Sahara Desert was a precious experience to truly feel the greatness of nature before reaching the Abu Simbel Temple.

📍Location: Sahara Desert, Egypt🇪🇬 🕰️Opening hours: 24 hours I got in a car at Siwa Oasis🚗 You can get there by asking a hotel owner or other person. The Sahara Desert is the largest tropical desert in the world, and is a vast desert that stretches from east to west across the northern part of the African continent. Its area is about 9,200,000 square kilometers (almost the same as the continental United States) The temperature rises to nearly 50°C during the day, and sometimes drops below 0°C at night, and in the evening it was a pleasant temperature of around 20°C☀️ The sunset you see here will be a treasure for your lifetime📸 #0 yen trip February 2025

#MarchTravelSupportEvent I applied for a tour in the Sahara Desert in Siwa Village and went there. It included sandboarding, dune bashing, and tea. It was a full moon on my day, so unfortunately I couldn't see the stars very well. But the sky was so pretty. It's definitely cold at night because it's a desert. Keep that in mind!

The Sahara Desert in Egypt was pure healing. Endless sand dunes stretched out, and in the quiet space where only the sound of the wind could be heard, my mind became calm. During the day, the golden desert was dazzling, and at night, countless stars decorated the sky, offering a breathtaking view. At the oasis, I felt my body and mind purified through peaceful rest. It was the perfect travel destination to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and find true tranquility!

This Sahara Desert adventure is definitely the most shocking experience of the trip! We chose to stay at Bledi Camp, where we rode camels through the endless sea of ​​sand, admired the sunset, the starry sky, and took a sunrise walk on the sand dunes in the early morning to feel the magic of the Sahara. 🚗 How to get to the Sahara Desert? We departed from Merzouga and booked a Sahara Desert camping experience through Trip.com, which included: ✅ Camel riding ✅ Camp accommodation (Bledi Camp) ✅ Dinner & breakfast Friends who want to book the same itinerary can search for Sahara Desert Camping or Merzouga Desert Tour on Trip.com and choose the itinerary that suits them! 📍 🐪 Camel ride into the desert After arriving at the desert entrance, we rode camels for about 40 minutes through the golden sand dunes into the camp. The scenery along the way was magnificent, but it was a bit tiring after a long bumpy ride😂. 📌 Tips: ✔ Wear long sleeves and long pants to avoid sun exposure and friction ✔ If you have luggage, you can have the vehicle delivered to the camp, it will be easier to travel light ✔ If you feel that riding a camel is too tiring, you can choose a 4WD jeep to enter the camp 🏕️ Bledi Camp experience The Bledi Camp we stayed in is a luxury tent camp in the Sahara Desert.

It is recommended to bring a coat to keep warm 🌅 Early morning walk at sunrise in the sand dunes (arranged by yourself) 📌 The desert sunrise is the most worthwhile moment of this trip! In the early morning, before dawn, we decided to hike up the sand dunes on our own. It would take about 10-15 minutes to reach the top and wait for the sun to rise slowly from the horizon. ☀ At sunrise, the golden sand dunes are painted pink and orange by the sunlight, and the scenery is so dreamy that it seems unreal! 👣 Walking barefoot on the soft sand and feeling the tranquil desert morning light, this moment is really breathtaking! 📌 Tips: ✔ Get up early, the sunrise is usually at 6:30-7:00, you can confirm the time according to the season ✔ Bring a bottle of water, climbing the sand dunes is more tiring than you think ✔ Be careful of the sand and dust on your phone, it is recommended to bring a sealed bag to protect it 🔥 Campfire Party (provided by the camp) After nightfall, Bledi Camp will provide a campfire party, which is a very atmospheric desert experience. 🎶 Traditional Moroccan music & live performances 🔥 Sit around the campfire and feel the tranquility of the desert at night 🍽 Enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner Under the endless starry sky, listen to traditional music, sit and chat with your travel companions. This is not only a journey, but also a dialogue with the soul of the Sahara. 🌌 Magical night under the starry sky The desert at night is the most mysterious moment, with the sky full of stars and the Milky Way shining, as if you can touch it. We lay on the sand outside the tent, looking up at the vast starry sky. Such a night makes people completely relaxed and integrated with nature. 📌 Travel Tips 1️⃣ Book early: It is recommended to book 1-2 months in advance during the peak season (September-May) 2️⃣ Bring a power bank: Although there is a USB charger, the charging speed is slow, so it is recommended to prepare a power bank 3️⃣ Clothing suggestions: Breathable long sleeves during the day, the temperature difference is large at night, remember to bring warm clothes 4️⃣ Anti-sand equipment: When the wind is strong, sand can easily get into the eyes, so it is recommended to prepare a headscarf or sunglasses to prevent sand This Sahara Desert adventure is really dreamy!

Nature lovers must be familiar with the Sahara Desert. It is not only the largest desert in Africa, but also the place where Sanmao and Jose fell in love through her writing. First time in Morocco, we have decided to explore the Sahara (2 days and 1 night) with camel ride. The drive from Morocco to the Sahara is quite long, and coupled with underdeveloped transportation and rugged roads, the ride was quite unforgettable. After a 7-8 hour drive, we arrived at Merzouga before dusk. Its characteristic is the red sand dunes as high as 150 meters, and the light and shadows at sunset are like blood. The tour guide first arranged a camel for each person to ride, so that we could enjoy the unobstructed sunset and moonrise in the desert. It allowed me to appreciate the moon and the starry sky without light pollution up close. The scene was unforgettable for me. No wonder Sanmao said, "Every time I miss you, a grain of sand falls from the sky." Accommodation analysis: from wildness to luxury - Basic desert camp → No bathroom, public toilet, camel blanket bed, including traditional tagine dinner; - Wild luxury tent → Private bathroom + toilet, tent with heating - Survival mode → Night temperature drops to 5°C; need to wear warm clothes to sleep → It is recommended to bring one liter of water Taste challenge: Desert survival diet** - **Berber table**: → **Harira soup**: chickpea + lamb stew, with dates to remove the fishy smell; → **Desert bread**: grilled on charcoal fire in the sand pit, eat with Argan oil. **🎒 Pre-trip equipment list** - **Clothing**: → Daytime: UPF50+ sun protection clothing, wide-brimmed quick-drying hat; → Nighttime: down liner + windproof shell There is no WiFi here, but the stars are the most luxurious traffic; there is no asphalt road, but the camel bells guide the direction for thousands of years.

The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. During my trip to Morocco in Africa, I specifically took on the challenge of a three-day, two-night journey in the Sahara Desert! Riding a camel through the barren desert for an adventure is truly a rare experience! The sunset in the desert is also incredibly beautiful, with the contrast of the blue sky and the orange sand feeling like a scene straight out of a movie! I highly recommend visiting the Sahara Desert when you come to Africa!

#New YorkFlightEvent #SaharaDesert #Egypt I prepared trail running shoes for the desert. The Terrex model that stood on the podium in the desert marathon… But it was just as easy to fall off. My Bedouin friend smiled and said, Shoes are a burden in the desert, and advised me to take off my shoes quickly, and feel nature with my feet. The moment I set foot on the soft, fluffy ground, I realized that my shoes were a burden.

#New York Flight Event #Sahara Desert #Egypt What does it feel like to ride a board down from the top of a sand dune called Dune? It's mysterious. The sand in Sahara is finer than you think, and even if you fall, there is almost no impact. It was hard to get back up, so I couldn't ride it a few times, but I felt it was safer than snowboarding on snow.

Explore Morocco, and the magnificent scenery of the Sahara Desert is undoubtedly a must-see for every traveler. Merzouga, a village in southeastern Morocco, is the dream gateway to the vast Sahara Desert. Merzouga is a hidden gem known for its spectacular dunes, tent camps under the stars, and camel rides. If you want to immerse yourself in the desert and feel the primitive and free spirit, this is the place for you. — Erg Chebbi, a 150-meter-high sand dune, is one of the most majestic sights in the Sahara Desert. At dawn, the golden sand sea glistens; at sunset, the sky is ablaze, and every moment is breathtaking. Even more surprising, this was the filming location for the movie "Lawrence of Arabia," where the traces of history and the wonders of nature intertwine, inspiring awe. Stroll through the town of Merzouga, where traditional Berber markets, craft shops, and unique restaurants make you feel like you're traveling back to the daily life of the locals. Here, don't hesitate to bargain and experience the authentic "Berber style." When night falls, desert stargazing camping will bring you an unprecedented shock. Millions of stars twinkle overhead, and traditional Berber music plays by the campfire. This is a visual and auditory feast, a baptism of the soul. Travel tips: - Sun protection and warmth: The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. You need to protect yourself from the sun during the day and keep warm at night. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and down jackets are all essential! - Clothing advice: For women, it is recommended to wear comfortable long pants and sneakers to avoid inconvenience when riding a camel. - Headscarf and veil: The desert is windy and sandy, so a headscarf or veil can protect you from the sun and dust, making your desert trip more comfortable.

#desert The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It is located in North Africa. It can be seen in Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, etc. This time we came to the Sahara Desert in Egypt. The first time I heard about the Sahara Desert was because of Sanmao. Many people think that the Sahara Desert is dirty, poor and deserted, but Sanmao lives a wonderful life here. The Sahara Desert under her pen is like a fairyland on earth, and even her wedding with her lifelong love Jose is held here. We entered the Sahara Desert from Hurghada, Egypt, experienced camel riding, off-road vehicles, sand skiing and other places, visited the local ancient tribes, and also felt the sunset in the desert. We were very satisfied. People are really very small in front of nature.

September to November is the perfect time to visit the Sahara Desert. The temperatures are just right, and the weather is clear. Preparing for your trip now means you can avoid the peak travel season in China during October and have plenty of time to get ready for your adventure. 【Camel Trekking Across the Desert🐫】 🔸Ride gentle camels across the vast dunes and experience the grandeur and tranquility of the desert. Camels, known as the "ships of the desert," offer a unique way to traverse the sands. 🔹Best Locations: Merzouga, Erg Chigaga, and Erg Chebbi dunes in Morocco are ideal for camel trekking. 【Watching Desert Sunrises and Sunsets🏜️】 🔸Watching the sunrise and sunset in the desert is a highlight of any Sahara trip.

📍Merzouga is located in the southeast of Morocco, about 600 kilometers away from the city of Marrakech. It is the small village closest to the Sahara Desert; therefore, it is known as the entrance to the Sahara Desert. 🏜️Although the temperature in the Sahara Desert is 35-40℃ during the day, it will become cooler at night to only about 15-20℃. This is because most of the daytime heat begins to dissipate at sunset, so most of the remaining heat turns into cool breeze. It is not difficult to imagine how fast the temperature drops when there is no sun. 🔹The starry sky in the desert at night is really beautiful. If you like to watch the stars in special scenes, you must not miss it! ⭐️For me, no matter how far the journey to the Sahara Desert is, how hot the desert is during the day, and how cool and dark it is at night, it cannot stop my determination to come to the world's largest desert to see the stars and the Milky Way. ✅ Life wishes unlocked🔓 #Africa #Morocco #Merzouga #Sahara #Milky Way #Desert

📍Merzouga is located in the southeast of Morocco, about 600 kilometers away from the city of Marrakech. It is the small village closest to the Sahara Desert; so it is called the entrance to the Sahara Desert. Standing in front of the largest and most vast desert in the world, you will definitely feel how insignificant human beings are and how important it is to cherish the people in front of you. 🏜️ The desert that was formed 2.5 million years ago is also the largest sandy desert in the world, covering an area of ​​approximately 9.4 million square kilometers, spanning more than ten countries in Africa, and is equivalent to the area of ​​the United States. Also because the climate conditions in the area are very harsh, it is one of the most unsuitable places on earth for biological survival. 🔹In the hearts of the Papar people, the Sahara Desert is a very sacred place, so if you are lucky enough to come into contact with the desert sand, it is a very happy thing! ⚠️Since the luggage will be placed on the tour bus and will not be picked up until the next day, I can only pick a few accompanying items and ride a camel 🐪 slowly into the village while admiring the sunset. #Africa #morocco #Merzouga #saharadesert #camel #desert

I rode a camel for two hours across the desert in Hassilabied, Morocco, in front of the Sahara Desert. It was raining and the camel's surface was rough, so I wore shorts and my calf skin peeled off, and my pants still smelled even after I washed them. I was told that I couldn't see the stars, so I rolled around in the sand with my Spanish family, and then I felt regretful and laid down on a mat outside the tent to watch a movie I had downloaded. After the movie, I looked up at the sky absentmindedly and my field of vision was filled with stars and the Milky Way. I entered the desert without a tripod, so I just laid down and took pictures with a timer. I didn't clean the lens properly, so there were marks, and the shutter speed was long, so the movement of the stars was captured, and the camera shook because of the wind, so it was a photo that hurt my eyes, but I took this photo and started my journey to chase the stars. It was hard, but I remember it a lot because it was my first time seeing countless stars and sleeping on a desert mat. #Morocco #Desert #Sahara

The highlight of my trip to Morocco!!! Sahara Desert Tour!!! I booked a 2-night desert tour operated by Dar marhaba Hotel! The conclusion is 500% satisfaction!! Those who have been there probably know. The Sahara Desert Tour really provides more than that,,, The hotel was also so good that I added 2 nights to my stay at the hotel. The food was so delicious and the service provided was so great that I was very satisfied,, There were days when I didn't want to leave the desert when I looked at the sky every night. I will definitely visit again to feel that emotion again... !!#morocco #saharadesert #sahara #Merzouga #Darmarhaba

Desert Oasis Oasis Desert Morocco has always been a mixed country. Praise is because San Mao wrote the Sahara, the bad review is a special pit for the locals, there is no pit in the most pits, and you are suspected of life hahahaha. Fortunately, its a group. The guide is especially responsible for wherever we go, and we are all in a situation where we may be pitted. You can sneak in the comment area to travel in Morocco, I will summarize the hahaha in the Raiders.

Tang Jie juvenile to understand? Follow the bucket to find out? Old Beijing cloth shoes teenager to understand? From sunset to the moon, from the Milky Way to the sunrise. The Sahara Desert is really a hundred things to go, and this time is really special, sunrise alone looking for a hillside and other sunrise, results also encountered a nest of wide-eared fox ! Is it necessary to come to the purple gas in the near future, Fuxing is shining, and madness is peach blossom?
