Sahara desert tours
The Sahara, at your own pace
Private desert journeys from Marrakech or Fes: the long road through the Atlas and the valleys, a night in a camp of your own, and sunrise on the dunes.
Why go
More than a night in the dunes
Most desert trips rush you there and back. We take the time to make the road part of the journey: kasbahs, gorges and palm valleys, with stops when you want them.
Every desert tour is private. Your vehicle, your guide and your camp are for your group only.
Sample journeys
Routes that reach the dunes
Use these as a starting point. Every one can be lengthened, shortened or changed.
Marrakech – Middle Atlas – Fes – Ziz Valley – Erg Chebbi
Imperial Cities & the Sahara
The journey most people picture when they imagine Morocco, slowed down until it becomes something else entirely. Two imperial cities, a cedar forest, a gorge, and three nights where the road simply ends.
9 days / 8 nights · 2-8 travellers · From 4,850 EUR per person
Marrakech – Ait Bouguemez – Tichka – Ait Benhaddou – Erg Chigaga
High Atlas & Desert Edge
For travellers who would rather walk than shop. Three days in the High Atlas staying with families in the Ait Bouguemez, then down the southern slope to a stretch of desert almost nobody visits.
7 days / 6 nights · 2-6 travellers · From 3,650 EUR per person

Questions
Good to know
How many days do I need for the Sahara?
From Marrakech, allow at least three days for Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga so the drive never feels rushed. Four or more is better.
When is the best time to go?
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable. Winter days are bright but nights are cold; high summer is very hot.
Is the desert camp private?
Yes. Your tents and dinner are arranged for your group only.
What does it cost?
To confirm: add your starting prices or price guidance for desert tours.
