How Prepare son Circuit in the Desert of the Sahara
Preparing for a Sahara desert circuit isn't complicated — as long as you know what to pack, what to expect, and who to trust for the organisation. Here is everything we've learned organising hundreds of circuits from Riad Vendôme.
What to pack in your suitcase for the desert ?
Clothing : of the couches ! Days are chaudes (25-36°C from October to avril), but the nights in the desert can descendre to 5-10°C. Emportez a pull chaud, a veste coupe-vent, a foulard (protection against the sand and the sun), a chapeau and of the lunettes de soleil. Side chaussures : of the baskets or chaussures de marche closed for the gorges, and of the sandales for the bivouac.
Accessoires essentiels : lampe frontale (indispensable at the bivouac the night), cream solaire haute protection, baume to levres, appareil photo with batteries chargees, batterie externe for the phone, small sac to dos for the day.
This that the bivouac fournit : tentes nomades, matelas, couvertures chaudes, oreillers, meal completes (tagine, couscous, tea), sanitaires de base.

Health and security in the desert
Hydratation : drink at least 2 litres water per day (of the water en bouteille is fournie). The desert is sec, and the deshydratation arrive quickly without that you noticing.
Soleil : the reverberation on the sand amplifie the UV. Cream solaire indice 50, chapeau and lunettes are indispensables, same en hiver.
Security : our circuits are organised with drivers-guides professionnels that connaissent the pistes since of the years. Le sud Moroccan is a region safe and welcominge. We fournissons a phone satellite for the journeys the most isolated.
Minibus or 4×4 private ?
The air-conditioned minibus is the most economical choice, suitable for groups of 8, 10, 12, 14, 15 guests. The private 4×4 Land Cruiser offers more comfort, flexibility (stops whenever you want) and access to Saharan tracks unreachable by minibus — notably the Djebel Saghro crossing. For couples or small groups wanting total freedom of adventure, the 4×4 is a worthwhile investment.
