About this trip
This week takes you from the streets of Marrakech out across southern Morocco to the dunes of the Sahara, with a coastal detour to Essaouira thrown in. It's a private, fully guided trip, so the pace and stops are built around your group rather than a fixed bus load of strangers.
You'll cross the Atlas Mountains to the old kasbah at Ait Ben Haddou, then push on to Merzouga on the edge of Erg Chebbi, where a camel ride carries you into the dunes for a night in the desert. The route then loops back via Essaouira's coastline before returning to Marrakech.
It suits families or small private groups who want to see the classic Marrakech-to-Sahara route without rushing, mixing city time, desert nights and a beach-town break.
