What makes us unique?
Welcome to Desert Surf Camp
We don’t follow trends—we set them. While most surf camps in Morocco offer the same experiences, we believe in creating, not copying. From day one, we’ve focused on developing new, enhanced surf and travel experiences that go beyond the basics.
At Desert Surf, quality and organization are at the heart of everything we do. We take care of every detail so your adventure flows effortlessly, from well-planned surf sessions to immersive cultural experiences. Our team is constantly refining and improving what we offer, making sure every part of your trip meets the highest standards.
Life moves fast, full of responsibilities and goals. That’s why Desert Surf is about sharing our love for surfing, connecting with like-minded people, and experiencing adventures. Whether it's catching waves, exploring Morocco, or sharing stories over tea, every moment is designed to refresh body and mind.
Desert Surf Camp was born in 2017 out of a dream—and a lot of waves. Founded by Ismail, who has been surfing since he was 9, the idea was simple: to create a place where people can recharge through ocean energy, new connections, and inspiring adventures—just like we did when we found surfing.

BEST PART ABOUT MOROCCO: The stunning contrasts—high mountains, endless desert, green forests, the wild Atlantic, and the calm Mediterranean, all in one country.
TOP TIP FOR FIRST-TIME SURFERS: If you're used to managing and controlling everything in life—that won’t work in the ocean. Relax, let go, and trust the waves.
With a background as a product manager in IT, Jane knows how to turn ideas into reality—and she brings that same expertise to Desert Surf Camp. Passionate about marketing and creating new experiences, she’s always thinking ahead, refining and improving what the camp offers. For her, it’s not just about running a surf camp—it’s about building something truly special.

Jane started surfing seven years ago and still loves every moment in the water. For her, surfing isn’t just a sport—it’s a lifestyle. That mindset shapes everything at Desert Surf, from the carefully designed itineraries to the seamless organization that makes every trip stress-free and full of adventure.
