Morocco is the ideal destination for travelers interested in ringing in the New Year with adventure. For those who seek remote travel in unique places of color with magnificent landscapes, a New Years Desert Tour is the perfect fit. Morocco’s Merzouga region offers several luxury desert glamping options. Visitors can camel trek at sunset with their Berber guide across the golden sand dunes, then take in a 1001 Arabian Nights experience of Moroccan food and music prior to tucking into their tented camp under the Moroccan stars.
The crossroads of civilization and a constant reminder of Berber tribalism, the Sahara Desert remains a luminous and authentic way to discover Morocco. Merzouga’s Sahara Desert’s dusty, arid landscapes coupled with its starry blue skies offer countless memories. The Sahara Desert’s regional flora and fauna, ancient fossils, and nomad life can be celebrated on a New Years Desert Tour
When traveling to the South of Morocco for a New Years Desert Tour into the Sahara’s Erg Chebbi Dunes of Merzouga travelers can opt for a 3-Day, a 4-Day, or 5-Day Moroccan Desert Tour. The best place to start and end a Sahara Desert Tour in Marrakech or Fes, given easy access to the South.
Writer and composer Paul Bowles summed up the Sahara Desert experience in his famed “Baptism of Solitude.”
“It is a unique sensation, and it has nothing to do with loneliness, for loneliness presupposes memory. Here, in this wholly mineral landscape lighted by stars like flares, even memory disappears; nothing is left but your own breathing and the sound of your heart beating. “Baptism of Solitude,” – Paul Bowles
