About this trip
A week-long loop out of Marrakech that takes you across southern Morocco's kasbahs, gorges and desert. You'll travel through the Atlas foothills and down into the Sahara, with the Merzouga dunes as the trip's centrepiece.
Along the way you pass through market towns and valley routes rather than sticking to the usual tourist stops, with stops built in for kasbahs, gorges and local souks.
It's fully guided throughout, so the route and logistics are handled for you — useful if you'd rather not navigate long desert roads yourself.
What you'll do
- Explore the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah
- Drive through the Dades Valley and Todra Gorges
- Reach the dunes of the Merzouga Sahara desert
- Browse the Rissani souk
- Pass through Tafraoute Sidi Ali, Nkob and Agdz
- Stop in Ouarzazate, gateway to the Sahara
- Covers a lot of ground over 7 days with several driving stretches between stops
- Fully guided, so suited to those who'd rather not self-drive the desert routes
Worth it if you like structured itineraries and want to see Morocco's highlights safely in one week. Think twice if you need flexibility, downtime, or expect luxury standards at desert camps.
- Driver doubles as storyteller and friend, making long journeys engaging with local music and anecdotes.
- Desert camp cleanliness varies wildly: filthy bedsheets with hair and blood versus spotless bathrooms reported by others.
- Fes guide takes you to mates' shops hoping for commission; drops you at fake cooperative if you've bought elsewhere.
- Covers entire country in seven days with tight schedule; relentless pace suits sightseers but frustrates flexible travellers.
