A bit more information about exactly where you are going, how you are travelling, your intended accommodation, group or independent etc. and what your idea of “bushcraft” actually is would be useful but here are some thoughts.
FWIW, in Morocco, the classic Sahara sand dunes are confined to a fairly small area along the Algerian border - the rest of the country has a wide range of geography ranging from a bracing Atlantic Coast in the west, a not so bracing Mediterranean coast in the north, high ranges of mountains in the middle (where you can ski in winter if that floats your boat) and increasingly hot and dry as you get further south. No experience of the disputed Western Sahara area but these days rather than picking your way through minefields, there is a new tarred road.
My passion is long range independent 4x4 expeditions and if that is what you are considering then books by Tom Sheppard and Chris Scott are essential reading but inevitably, rather than bushcraft, they focus on vehicle preparation, driving techniques, navigation, the practicalities of living and working in arid environments (don’t camp in a wadi!) assuming that you have a functioning vehicle and supplies and what to do if it all goes t!ts up.
I love having the freedom to disappear into deserts for days at a time hardly seeing another soul but recognise that (a bit like solo sailing), without a functioning vehicle or water it would very quickly become a survival situation rather than a gentle RM style bimble collecting sustainance from the local flora along the way.
As Broch says, wonderful country, great scenery, delicious food and fantastic people especially if you can get away from the routes plied by the organised tour groups where hustling and begging can be annoying and the campsites on the edge of towns in the south where grumpy French pensioner snowbirds congregate in the winter to avoid paying heating bills back home.
Desert skies are amazing at night - take a guide book and/or download one of those phone/tablet apps that show the constellations etc.
Nothing to do with bushcraft but please do not hand out sweets, pens or other stuff to kids or anyone else - I drove slowly past a school in a small town to avoid stirring up the dust and all the pupils ran out and chased me down the road screaming “stylo” and “bonbon” because someone (who would presumably be appalled at the idea of a rich foreigner hanging around outside a school in their home country handing out presents to kids), had once thought they would be making the world a better place by giving them pens.
Look forward to reading the trip report.
