A dune suite, a private dinner and a sky of stars for two. A private, tailored journey of 4-6 days in The Sahara, Morocco, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from around US$1,100 per person per night.
Few countries move so effortlessly from imperial medinas to snow-touched mountains to the immense silence of the Sahara, all within a few hours' drive.
When to go
From October to April is the best window for The Sahara. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- Take a private dune suite set apart from the camp, a terrace of your own opening onto the empty sand
- Share a candlelit dinner laid for two on a quiet ridge, the desert falling silent as the last light goes
- Ride out at dawn to a high crest to watch the sun rise together over an ocean of dunes
- End the day with a private bath drawn under the stars, the sky uncountable above the warm sand
A sense of the rhythm
Everything here is arranged around the two of you. Days are unhurried and almost wordless, given to the shifting light on the sand and the long, private evenings. The desert removes every distraction, leaving only space, silence and each other.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Request a suite set well apart from the main camp for complete privacy
- Ask for the dinner to be laid on a separate ridge, away from any other guests
- Bring a warm wrap for the evening, when the desert cools quickly after sundown
- Keep the pace loose, leaving whole afternoons unplanned for the terrace and the view
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From around US$1,100 per person per night — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.

Questions, answered.
A dune camp offers an intimacy no resort can match, an entire horizon shared with no one else. In place of a busy poolside you have the silence of the Sahara, dinners laid only for two and a night sky that belongs to you alone.
Yes. You stay in a private dune suite set apart from the camp, with a terrace of your own opening onto the empty sand. Our advisors suggest requesting a suite set well apart from the main camp for complete privacy, and asking for your candlelit dinner to be laid on a separate ridge, away from any other guests. Everything is arranged around the two of you.
Bring a warm wrap for the evening. The desert cools quickly after sundown, so you will want it for a candlelit dinner on the ridge or a private bath drawn under the stars. From March to May and September to November, the days are warm, the light is clear and the desert nights turn crisp rather than cold.
Yes. You can ride out at dawn to a high crest and watch the sun rise together over an ocean of dunes. After that, the days are unhurried and almost wordless, given to the shifting light on the sand. Our advisors recommend keeping the pace loose, leaving whole afternoons unplanned for the terrace and the view before long, private evenings.
The Desert Honeymoon takes 4-6 days. Those days are unhurried and almost wordless: a dawn ride to a high crest to watch the sun rise over the dunes, whole afternoons left unplanned for your private terrace and the view, a candlelit dinner for two on a quiet ridge, and a private bath drawn under the stars. Your advisor tunes the length to your calendar and pace.
As a private, tailored journey it starts from roughly around US$1,100 per person per night and scales with your dates, party and level of privacy — a starting point, never a fixed package price. Your advisor confirms the figure once the itinerary is tailored.
March to May and September to November. The days are warm and the light is clear for a dawn ride to watch the sun rise over the dunes, and the desert nights turn crisp rather than cold, ideal for a candlelit dinner on a ridge or a private bath under the stars, with a warm wrap for after sundown. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
Yes. On the Desert Honeymoon in the Sahara, you can end the day with a private bath drawn under the stars, the sky uncountable above the warm sand. It is arranged privately for the two of you, often after a candlelit dinner on a quiet ridge. Bring a warm wrap for afterwards, because the desert cools quickly after sundown, even in the crisp rather than cold nights of March to May and September to November.
On the Desert Honeymoon, dinner is laid by candlelight for two on a quiet ridge in the Sahara, with the desert falling silent as the last light goes. Our advisors suggest asking for it to be set on a separate ridge, away from any other guests, so the evening belongs only to you. It is one of the long, private evenings that give the journey its rhythm, so a warm wrap is worth bringing.
Morocco moves effortlessly from imperial medinas to snow-touched mountains to the immense silence of the Sahara, all within a few hours' drive. That contrast is part of what makes the Desert Honeymoon so striking: once in the dunes, the desert removes every distraction, leaving only space, silence and each other, with a private dune suite, a terrace of your own and nights under an uncountable sky.
