Coucher de soleil flamboyant on the desert of Zagora — best season automne

La best period : octobre to avril

It is the season ideal. Les day trips are douces (20-30°C), the nights fresh but supportables (8-15°C), and the light is extraordinaire for the photographie. It is also the period where the bivouacs in the desert are the most comfortable — ni too chaud, ni too froid.

Caravan de camels in the light golden of the morning to Merzouga

Octobre-novembre : the douceur parfaite

Our period preferee. The chaleurs of the summer are passees, the nights are douces, the light is golden and chaude. The dunes of Merzouga prennent of the teintes incroyables at sunset. It is also the season of the dattes in the valley of the Draa — the palmeraies are en pleine recolte.

December-janvier : Christmas under the stars of the Sahara

The nights are froides (5-10°C), but the bivouacs fournissent of the couvertures thick. L'avantage : a ciel winter a clarity absolue, perfect for l'observation of the stars. Passer the New Year's Eve de Christmas or of the Nouvel An in the desert is an experience unforgettable. Book early, it is the period the most requested.

February-mars : the best compromis

Temperatures pleasant, crowds moderate, prices raisonnables. En mars, the amandiers are en fleur in the Haut Atlas on the road of the desert. It is often the choice of the travellers that veulent avoid the foules of the holiday scolaires.

Avril : the valley of the Roses en fleur

En avril, the valley of the Roses (entre Ouarzazate and the gorges of the Dades) is en pleine floraison. Des kilometres de rosiers parfument the air. It is the alonee period of the year where this show is visible — and tous our circuits Merzouga passent by this valley. La Party of the Roses to Kelaat M'gouna is a event unique.

Night étoilée at the bivouac in the desert of the Sahara — hiver

From avoid : juin to septembre

The temperatures exceed 45°C in the desert in summer. The bivouacs are impossibles, the camel rides dangerous. Si you come in Marrakech in summer, choose instead a excursion to Essaouira (freshness oceanique) or in the Ourika Valley (mountain).
