What Travelers Say About Their Sahara Photoshoot
Oussama photographer was amazing! His photoshoot marked my 40th birthday celebration in Marrakesh making it a highlight for my trip. He was very professional and attentive recommending best places to shoot and made communication and coordination smooth. The final results were fantastic and helped me create the best, professional memories for my trip. I highly recommend organizing a photoshoot with Ossama in your travels. Thank you!
Oussama was a very kind and experienced photographer. He made the experience very comfortable and also shared hos knowledge about Marrakesh. The photos ended upvery beautiful and everything came on time. The delivery and picking of the photos were very comfortable on the platform. We recommend this, everything was perfect 🙂
What can I say about Oussama other than he is AMAZING! I have worked with him on two trips to Morocco. The first was in 2022 and the other this month. He has such an amazing creative eye for detail that working him is so easy. Additionally he is super kind and really extends himself as a brother. He’s driven me around Marrakesh and truly made me feel like home. I mean take a look at the photos yourself. His work speaks for itself. I 100% recommend Oussama.
My husband, mom, and two kids ages 4 and 6 did a photo shoot while in Morocco on holiday, and let me just say, they are FABULOUS! We absolutely love the photos we received, they are the best ones we’ve ever done! The photographer was very kind, knew exactly where to shoot, what angles, and what “worked” for our kids and my husband and I. I am so excited to have these photos as our core memories from this trip, and we will also use them for our Christmas cards this year. He’s a 10/10, one of the best photographers we’ve ever had! Very reasonably priced with fantastic work product. You won’t be disappointed!!
I cannot recommend Moroccangraphers enough! They truly exceeded my expectations and made my trip to Marrakech even more special. From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional and accommodating. They helped me choose the perfect locations and poses for my photoshoot and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. The end result was a collection of stunning and unique photos that captured the essence of my trip perfectly. Thank you Moroccangraphers for providing me with memories that I will treasure forever.
Thank you very much, Oussama. It was such a pleasure working with you! My boyfriend and I had an amazing time, and the pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. We are sooo happy with the results.
It was so easy and lovely working with him — he made us feel comfortable from the start and found all the great spots in Marrakesh. He helped with the poses and had an amazing eye for beautiful photo shots. We are incredibly happy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him!
Highly recommend Oussama photography if you are in Morocco. My husband and I were doing a couples shoot and it turned out to be more beautiful than I could have ever expected. He was very accommodating of our travel plans and very respectful of our time. He took so many beautiful photos, it was hard to choose the ones we loved most. He offered us multiple locations to shoot and politely provided recommendations the best times based on our availability. My husband and I agree that this was the best activity we did during our time in Morocco. These photos are priceless and the fee for the shoot is very reasonable for what you get.

How much does a Sahara photoshoot cost?
Every Sahara photoshoot is customized depending on your itinerary, the season and the locations you’d like to visit around Merzouga. Because the Sahara Desert is located several hours from Marrakech, these sessions are available as part of my Gold Package and require additional travel planning. If you’re planning a proposal, honeymoon or couples session in the Sahara, contact me for a personalized quote and itinerary.
When is the best time for a Sahara Desert photoshoot?
The best time for a Sahara Desert photoshoot is during sunrise or sunset, when the golden dunes of Merzouga are covered in soft, warm light. These hours create beautiful colors, comfortable temperatures and fewer visitors, making them ideal for romantic couples, engagements, proposals and travel photography. I always plan the session around the best natural light to create timeless photographs.
Do you travel to Merzouga for photoshoots?
Yes. I regularly travel to Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes to photograph couples, solo travelers, families and surprise proposals. As your Sahara photographer, I’ll recommend the best meeting location, timing and shooting spots based on your travel plans and the weather, helping you enjoy a smooth and unforgettable desert experience.
What should we wear for a Sahara photoshoot?
Neutral colors such as white, beige, cream, brown and soft earth tones photograph beautifully against the golden Sahara dunes. Lightweight flowing dresses, linen shirts and simple outfits create timeless images that blend naturally with the desert landscape. Before your session, I’ll send you a detailed style guide with outfit recommendations to help you look your best.
Can you photograph surprise proposals and couples in the Sahara Desert?
Absolutely. The Sahara Desert is one of the most romantic places in Morocco for a proposal or couples photoshoot. I’ll help you choose the perfect dune, coordinate the timing around sunset and discreetly plan every detail so your proposal remains a complete surprise. Afterward, we’ll continue with a relaxed portrait session while the desert is glowing in golden light.
Why should I hire a local Sahara photographer instead of taking photos myself?
A professional Sahara photographer understands how quickly the desert light changes and knows the best locations around Merzouga to avoid crowds and create unique images. From planning the ideal shooting time to guiding natural poses and professionally editing every photograph, you’ll receive a collection of timeless memories that truly capture the beauty of the Sahara Desert and your experience in Morocco.
Where in the Sahara Desert do you photograph?
Most of my Sahara photoshoots take place in the beautiful Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga, one of Morocco’s most iconic desert destinations. Depending on your itinerary, we can photograph among the towering sand dunes, around luxury desert camps, during a camel ride or at panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Sahara. Every location is carefully selected based on the light and the style of photos you’d like to create.
Can families and solo travelers book a Sahara photoshoot?
Absolutely. While many of my Sahara photoshoots are for couples and proposals, I also photograph solo travelers, families, friends and content creators visiting the Sahara Desert. Every session is personalized to match your travel experience, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want beautiful memories from one of Morocco’s most unforgettable landscapes.
How do I book a Sahara photographer in Morocco?
Booking your Sahara photoshoot is simple. Contact me through the inquiry form with your travel dates, the number of people and whether you’ll be staying in Merzouga or a nearby desert camp. I’ll help plan the perfect time, recommend the best photography locations and guide you through every step before your session, ensuring a smooth and unforgettable experience in the Sahara Desert.
