Itinerary

You arrive in Marrakech and your guide is waiting for you. After getting settled, your group heads out for a guided tour of the medina, the souks, Jemaa el-Fna square, the narrow streets and the energy of a city that runs on a completely different clock. The evening ends with a group dinner together before your big journey starts tomorrow.

Early morning departure from Marrakech. The road south crosses dramatic mountain passes, ancient kasbahs, and one of Morocco’s most iconic UNESCO sites before dropping into the valley landscapes of the south. Along the way, stop at the Monkey Fingers rock formations in the Dades Gorges for a 30-minute walk through a canyon that stops everyone mid-sentence. Dinner and overnight in Dades Valley.

This gonna be the best day of the trip.

Morning starts with a walk through Todgha Gorge, a stunning natural canyon with walls rising hundreds of metres on either side. Thirty minutes walking through it and you will understand why people travel across the world just for this stop.

From there the road opens up toward the Sahara. You arrive at the dunes in the late afternoon, perfectly timed for sunset. Choose your ride into the camp: camel or 4×4. Either way you arrive as the sun drops and the dunes turn gold.

Sunset over the Sahara. Dinner at camp. Music around the fire. Your group, the desert, and a sky full of stars.

Both our basic and luxury desert camps are fully air-conditioned. Sandboarding available in the evening or at sunrise the next morning.

Wake up before sunrise and walk up the dunes. Watch the Sahara go from black to gold in twenty minutes.

After breakfast your group heads back to Marrakech. You arrive in the evening with a full night free, dinner out, exploring the souks, the nightlife, or just a rooftop and some mint tea. Your call.

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 4-day, 3-night trip starts at €210 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. However the desert is a great option and must see.

 

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.
