The desert is a land of extremes — warm days and cold nights. Pack smart and you’ll be comfortable from the camel ride to the campfire.

Clothing

Lightweight breathable layers, a warm fleece for the evening, long trousers and sleeves, a scarf for sun and sand, comfortable closed shoes.

Sun & health

High-SPF sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, a hat, personal medication, hand sanitiser.

Camp essentials

A small daypack, power bank, headlamp, reusable water bottle.

Don’t overpack

You only need a small overnight bag for the camp — leave the big suitcase at your Marrakech hotel if you’re returning there.
