Sahara & desert trips
Do you need a power bank for Moroccan desert trips?
Yes, a power bank is close to essential for Moroccan desert trips — charging at camps is limited, shared and sometimes unavailable overnight, so a good battery keeps your phone and camera alive for the sunset, stars and sunrise. It’s one of the most useful things to pack for the Sahara.
Aim for at least 10,000 mAh, and 20,000 mAh if you’re shooting lots of photos or travelling two nights, which covers a phone and a camera several times over. Charge it and all your devices fully at your last hotel with reliable power.
Bring the right cables and keep the power bank warm at night, since cold saps battery capacity. With one packed, you can enjoy the disconnection of the desert without worrying about a dead phone.
