When you think of Morocco you think of ancient medinas, rolling deserts, blue painted hillside towns. you think of colorful tiles and piled Tagines and Berber men wrapped in blue turbans. I think of so many things; color, sounds, religion, tradition but what really gets you the most is the Sahara desert adventure, that's what Morocco trips are all about. The incredible region of Erg Chebbi on the edge of the Sahara is a 30 mile wide stretch of dunes shaped by the wind and in some places 150 meters high. An ever-growing collection of Auberges, campsites, and restaurants have sprung up in and around the village of Merzouga, making it the central hub for tour groups and independent visitors. Although a mecca for the visiting hoards this place has a charm all of its own and it’s an easy place to while away warm sunny days and cold starry nights. When is the best time to visit the Sahara Desert? Many people approach the desert with the misconception that it’s hot year-round, but this is patently false. The desert is home to wild temperature swings – even in the summer but If you're planning a trip to the Sahara Desert, the most comfortable time to do so is between May and October as that is when daytime temperatures are milder. During the Saharan winter (and especially in December and January) nighttime temperatures drop below freezing. Sandstorms are more frequent between January and May. The summer months (June-September) can be unbearably hot with July and August daytime highs often crossing 50 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit). you'll be able to avoid the bone-dry landscapes and scorching temperatures of summer (which average around 115 degrees Fahrenheit), and the freezing nighttime temperatures of winter. At any time of the year, temperatures tend to plummet after dark, so it's best to bring a warm jacket regardless of when you plan to visit.
