Collette’s ‘Colours of Morocco’ features unique three-night stay in the Sahara Desert

Pawtucket, RI (September 3, 2024) – Collette’s “Colours of Morocco” tour offers travellers the unique experience of spending three nights in the Sahara Desert. The extended stay allows more time to explore different cultural aspects of the area while soaking in the majestic scenes of sun and sand.

“Our ‘Colours of Morocco’ small group Explorations tour is a favourite for many travellers,” said Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, chief executive officer at Collette. “Pacing is a key aspect of this intimate journey. Expert product designers always look to make the most of travellers’ time on tour by building in several unique stops along our way through the breathtaking dunes and sandy tranquility. For example, they spend time engaging with the nomadic Amazigh community, learning about their ancient way of living and how it has changed over time.”

During their time venturing through the Sahara, travellers also visit Merzouga. While in the small village, they’ll be introduced to sub-Saharan Gnawa music after having time to chat with some of the locals. Travellers’ time in the desert features a few unique methods of transportation, as well. First, they’ll ride to their tented camp aboard Jeep 4x4s. Then, they’ll ride through Saharan dunes via camelback.

Other tour highlights include a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kasbah Aït Benhaddou, as well as an interactive cooking class at a women’s cooperative in Marakech. Travellers can secure their seat on Collette’s “Colours of Morocco” tour with departures as early as December 1, 2024 with prices starting at $3,899 USD pp.
