Nestled in the heart of the Merzouga Desert, Sahara Sky Luxury Camp provides a magical escape, part of a unique Moroccan adventure. As part of his tour of Southern Morocco in June, 2023, Azdean - host of the Destination Morocco podcast, visited the camp and chatted with Said, the co-owner of the camp, unveiling the wonders of Merzouga and the desert life.

Episode: The Many Surprises of Merzouga Desert, Live From Sky Sahara Camp

Said shares the story behind the founding of Sahara Sky Luxury Camp, and how his family has deep roots in the area as traditional nomads. Said himself is not far removed from that reality.

Bringing this background to modern day food preparation, their emphasis on using organic ingredients, and the efforts they put into going beyond the traditional Moroccan dishes, demonstrates the unique and fascinating food philosophy of the Camp. Cooking classes, musical performances, and a variety of on-site activities make the Camp a priority for travelers seeking a distinctive cultural experience.

Merzouga offers myriad activities to appeal to any adventure-seeker. Far more than just camel rides and quad biking, you also have visiting local sites like the Nifis mine and Gnawa music, archaeological sites and stargazing: there's something for everyone. The importance of the engraved rocks to the local community adds a cultural touch to your exploration. Their preservation and protection is a testament to the community's respect for its heritage and history. For solo and female travelers, safety is paramount, making the area a welcoming and secure destination.

In the episode you'll hear peacocks and cats in the background as they chat, and close your eyes to imagine yourself in this beautiful desert paradise. Because of course, you yourself can experience all this too!
