Thinking about spending Christmas in Morocco? Did you know that the team at  Journey Beyond Travel JUST caught Santa Claus riding camels in Morocco’s Sahara Desert!!! We thought this was a sight worth sharing!

Here’s our top reasons why Santa Claus may wish to re-think his Christmas delivery strategy – using camels instead of reindeer this year!

1. No need for a sleigh, camels can carry everything!

2. Santa can go overland instead of getting air sick!

3. The sand dunes of the Sahara offer all the fun without the cold!

4. Mrs. Claus can get some sun while Santa works!

5. Instead of snowboarding, Santa can go SANDboarding!!!! 

6. Camels are way cuter than reindeer. It’s a fact.

Want to Experience Morocco next Christmas?

Enjoy sand dunes instead of snow at Christmas with Journey Beyond Travel! But just like Santa, we’ve got to plan well ahead! We usually start planning our busy holiday season just after the New Year! So if you want to experience some sunshine and those cobalt Moroccan-blue skies next holiday season, just remember to start planning in January or February!
