Moroccan Desert Adventure: River Canyons & Camels

Start & end in Marrakesh 7 days Up to 14

About this trip

Seven days through Morocco that takes you from the streets of Marrakech out into landscapes that barely look real, from the Sahara's dunes to the folds of the Atlas Mountains.

You travel as part of a small group, covering ground through river canyons, old kasbahs, and open desert, with time on foot in Dades Gorge and a camel ride into the dunes.

It moves at a fair clip, mixing city time in Marrakech with days out in genuinely remote terrain.

What you'll do

  • Explore the markets and streets of Marrakech
  • Cross the Sahara desert by camel
  • Walk through Dades Gorge
  • Drive through the Atlas Mountains
  • Visit traditional kasbahs
Good to know
  • Covers a lot of ground in a week, so expect regular travel days between stops
  • Suits travellers who want both city time and proper desert and mountain scenery
  • Fully guided group trip, aimed at younger, budget-conscious travellers
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want authentic Morocco, desert immersion, and don't mind long driving days. Think twice if you need detailed cultural explanations in clear English.

  • CEOs are genuinely passionate about Morocco; they avoid tourist traps and share real history and traditions.
  • Two-day Sahara stay is the trip highlight: camping, camel rides at sunset, sandboarding, stargazing, cooking class included.
  • Expect up to 8 hours driving some days; accent and language barriers made cultural explanations hard to follow.
  • Hotel every night plus meals and activities included; spring timing recommended to avoid extreme 40°C+ heat.
