Itinerary

Start the trip in Marrakech before heading into the High Atlas Mountains. Enjoy scenic mountain roads, traditional villages, and a first taste of Morocco beyond the city. End the day with a relaxed evening together at your accommodation.

Cross the Atlas Mountains and visit the famous Aït Ben Haddou, a historic desert village and filming location. Continue through the landscapes of southern Morocco, with stops for photos and local experiences before settling in for the evening.

Explore the Dades Valley and the impressive Todra Gorges. Walk through the canyon, discover traditional villages, and enjoy the dramatic red-rock landscapes. In the evening, relax together and enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner.

Head into the Sahara and arrive in Merzouga. Ride camels across the dunes at sunset before reaching your desert camp. Enjoy a bonfire, traditional music, dinner, and time with your group under a sky full of stars, one of the highlights of the trip.

 

Wake up early for a beautiful Sahara sunrise before starting the journey toward Fes. Travel through the Ziz Valley and across the Middle Atlas, with scenic stops along the way. Arrive in Fes in the evening, finishing your Moroccan trip.

Watch Nat's 5-day Desert And marrakech trip with us

Any size group works. If there are more than 20 of you, just book in advance, since all our trips run private.

 

Desert days get hot, but nights in the camp get surprisingly cold, so bring layers. A scarf or light headwrap helps with wind and sand, plus sunscreen and comfortable shoes for walking on sand and rock.

 

This 5-day, 4-night trip starts at €260 per person for our budget plan, comfy, clean stays with everything you need. Reach out with your group size and dates for an exact quote.

 

Fall and spring are the best times to visit, warm days and comfortable nights. Summer runs hot, but our accommodations and vehicles are air conditioned, so you’re never stuck sweating it out. Winter nights get cold, so pack warm layers, but that’s part of the charm, there’s nothing like wrapping up by the campfire under a clear desert sky.

 

We actually own our own transportation company, so it’s not some random driver you’ve never met. Small groups ride in a Toyota Prado, bigger groups get a Mercedes Vito van or Sprinter minibus, and for groups over 20 we bring in a full-size bus. Everything is clean, comfortable, and driven by drivers we know and trust.

Yes, we can include or exclude activities to suit what you and  your group like.

 

It’s a completely different experience from the city or the coast, vast dunes, Berber camps, nights under the stars. If you have the time, pairing it with Marrakech or the coast is the best way to see more than one side of the country.

 

Yes, this trip can be extended to more days or shortened to fit your schedule. It also pairs well with our desert or coast trips if you or your group wants to add more of Morocco, or both, for the full experience.
