About this trip
This 13-day trip takes you from Marrakesh across the Atlas Mountains and into the Sahara, tracing a route through kasbahs, Berber villages and the dunes of Merzouga before heading north to Chefchaouen and Fes.
The desert stretch is the heart of it: a camel ride out to a camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes, a night under the stars, and a sunset over the sand that you'll watch rather than rush past.
It's a private, fully guided tour, so the pace stays relaxed and the group is just you and whoever you're travelling with, making it a solid fit for families or those after a calmer, more personal way through Morocco's imperial cities and ancient sites.
What you'll do
- Cross the Atlas Mountains through Berber villages and old kasbahs
- Ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga
- Camp overnight in the Sahara desert
- Watch the sunset over the dunes
- Walk the blue-washed lanes of Chefchaouen
- Explore the medina and imperial sites of Fes
- Private tour, so it's just your own group with a guide throughout
- Relaxing pace rather than a packed schedule, suited to families or those wanting downtime
- Covers a lot of ground over 13 days, so expect a fair amount of driving between regions
Worth it if you want flexibility, a strong guide-driver relationship, and desert highlights. Think twice if accommodation consistency matters to you.
- Private or small-group setup means you stop where you want, not on a fixed schedule.
- Your driver becomes a cultural educator; Mohamed's insights into Moroccan life elevated the experience.
- Riad quality varies noticeably; one fell short on cleanliness expectations mid-tour.
- Touring during Ramadan requires respecting your guide's fasting; long driving days without food or water.
