About this trip
Five days through southern Morocco, from dramatic desert landscapes to the Sahara dunes, travelling much of the route once used by the Paris-Dakar rally.
You ride a camel out into the dunes and spend a night camping under the stars, then take in the scale of Todra Gorge's canyon walls before finishing at the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, a backdrop for several Hollywood films.
It's a private, fully guided trip with an easy pace, built around the landscapes and a few standout stops rather than a packed itinerary.
What you'll do
- Camel ride into the Sahara dunes
- Sleep out under the stars in the desert
- Walk beneath the canyon walls of Todra Gorge
- Explore the Kasbah at Ait Benhaddou
- Drive the old Paris-Dakar route through southern Morocco
- Try local Moroccan dishes along the way
- Private and fully guided, so the pace is flexible
- Easy-paced, suits families and those who prefer a relaxed itinerary
Worth it if you value cultural immersion and genuine hospitality from guides who go well beyond duty. Think twice if you're averse to long driving days or need a group tour rather than a personalised experience.
- Guides consistently arrange surprises: birthday cakes in Atlas Mountains, family cooking sessions, personalised detours based on interests.
- Sahara desert stay is a genuine highlight; camel rides and off-roading genuinely memorable for multiple travellers.
- June heat during daytime tours is significant; one reviewer explicitly warns to prepare for serious warmth during day excursions.
- Long driving days feel manageable thanks to guides' music and commentary, but still substantial time in vehicle.
