Morocco: Deserts & Beaches

Start & end in Marrakesh 11 days Up to 14

About this trip

Eleven days across Morocco that take you from historic cities into the Sahara and out to the Atlantic coast, with a small group and a CEO guiding you throughout.

You'll trade riads for a desert camp under the stars, wander ancient kasbahs, and finish up with surf lessons on the beaches of Taghazout — a proper mix of culture, desert and coast rather than just one note.

It's built for young travellers who want to actually experience Morocco's contrasts, not just tick off sights from a bus window.

What you'll do

  • Explore the Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou
  • Sleep out in a traditional desert camp in the Sahara
  • Learn to surf on the beaches of Taghazout
  • Travel with a small group led by a CEO guide throughout
Good to know
  • Covers a lot of ground — desert, cities and coast — so expect regular travel days
  • Accommodation varies from riads to a desert camp, part of the experience rather than a downside
  • Suits travellers keen on an active mix of culture and outdoor activity over a slower single-base holiday
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you're keen on cultural immersion, varied landscapes, and group bonding. Think twice if you dislike early starts and packed itineraries.

  • Guide quality transforms the experience; Rachid and Youssef both highly praised for knowledge, storytelling, and genuine care for group welfare.
  • Food generous and good, activities varied and off-the-beaten-path, 18-35 age group mix creates lasting friendships across nationalities.
  • Trip is exhausting with strict, packed schedule; heavy van travel days, though comfortable. Only one desert night limits free exploration time.
  • Substantial daily travel required to reach remote Atlas Mountains, Sahara, and coastal spots—unavoidable given the itinerary scope.
