Sahara Tours

Shared Sahara Tours

The most affordable way to reach the dunes, in a friendly small group.

A Shared Sahara Tour is the smart, sociable and affordable way to see the Moroccan desert. You join a small group of travellers from around the world, split the cost of the vehicle and guide, and share campfires and camel treks with new friends. Departures run regularly, so there is almost always a group to join.

Popular shared Sahara tours

Shared tours follow the same wonderful routes as our private trips — across the Atlas or through the Ziz Valley to Erg Chebbi — with a set schedule that keeps the price low. If you are a solo traveller, a couple on a budget, or simply enjoy meeting people on the road, a shared Sahara tour with Best Sahara Tours is hard to beat.

On a shared Sahara tour you travel in a comfortable minibus or 4x4 with a small group, typically six to sixteen travellers, plus your driver-guide. You still get the full experience — the mountain passes, the kasbahs, the gorges, the camel trek and a night in a desert camp — but you split the cost of the vehicle and guide, which is why shared tours are the most budget-friendly way to reach the Sahara. Many lifelong friendships have started around a campfire on one of our shared tours.

Because departures run frequently, especially in spring and autumn, there is almost always a shared Sahara tour to join within a day or two of your preferred date. Just tell Best Sahara Tours when you would like to travel and from which city, and we will confirm the next available group departure and reserve your seats — with no prepayment and free cancellation.
