We like winter because it offers experiences impossible at other times of year, such as travelling to the desert or seeing thousands of wildebeest giving birth. Today we suggest 3 Winter Adventures to start the year by discovering extraordinary places.
When we think of travel to the desert We usually picture dunes, oases, nights under the stars and long walks through landscapes unlike those at home. But there is an important question to consider before choosing dates: in summer, the heat can be extreme.
And we don't know this just from the thermometers. We've lived it.
With its easy access and safe environment, the Sahara is an ideal option for travel with teenagers or children seeking adventure. Its vast landscapes, light and closeness to nature make it perfect to share with family or friends, or to enjoy with a group of travellers with similar interests.
Our best routes through the Sahara and the great deserts of Africa
The desert is not an empty place. It is a territory of silence and infinite horizons where time seems to walk at another pace. In Viajes Tuareg we have spent more than 40 years exploring the Sahara with expert local guides, designing routes that combine expedition, culture and extraordinary landscapes.
Sahara is known for its extreme contrasts, and choosing when to go can make a difference.
The Sahara has its charm at any time of year, but some seasons are more welcoming for travellers. Spring and autumn are usually the best times to explore the world’s largest desert. Temperatures are milder in these months, allowing you to enjoy the landscape without the scorching summer heat or the intense cold of winter nights.
Winter offers ideal conditions for venturing into the desert. Milder temperatures let us travel without oppressive heat. At this time of year, the Sahara is at its best: cool nights beside a campfire beneath an immense sky, clearer light, and days when we can hike and stop to eat without sweltering.
From spring onwards, temperatures soar, exceeding 45 degrees when summer arrives.

Hello winter!
We love winter because it offers experiences that are impossible at other times of year, such as travelling to the desert or seeing thousands of wildebeest giving birth. Here are 3 winter adventures to start your year by discovering extraordinary places.
A trip exploring the most important archaeological sites along the Nile, with a visit to the Fayoum oasis for a desert experience suitable for everyone.
In Fayoum, we spend the night in a permanent camp on the edge of the dunes, with basic facilities and shared bathrooms. A night beneath the desert sky more than makes up for going without a few comforts for one night.
