About this trip
This private trip takes you from Marrakesh into Morocco's south-east, crossing the Atlas Mountains and following the route toward the Sahara. It's built for whoever books it — solo travellers, couples, friends or family — since you have the group to yourselves.
Along the way you pass through palm oases, old kasbahs and Berber villages, with stops to meet nomadic families and get a sense of daily life in these towns. The trip builds toward the golden dunes of the Merzouga Desert.
What you'll do
- Cross the Atlas Mountains
- Visit ancient Kasbahs along the route
- Stop in palm tree oases and Berber villages
- Meet nomadic families
- See the golden dunes of the Merzouga Desert
- Private and fully guided, so the pace and focus can flex around your group
- Suits couples, families, friends or solo travellers
Worth it if you value authentic cultural immersion and get a knowledgeable guide. Think twice if you're cold-sensitive or need strong heating in accommodation.
- Guide quality makes or breaks it: Hassan, Mohammed, and Abdellatif consistently provide genuine cultural knowledge, flexibility, and personal attention.
- Winter visits risk poor heating; one traveller got a severe cold from unheated hotels with inadequate cold-weather facilities.
- Expect significant driving time between sites, but landscape views and stops generally justify the hours on the road.
- Accommodation quality varies: some riads and guesthouses are small or basic, though desert camps and better lodges exceed expectations.
