Our 5 day desert tour from Marrakech is built for travelers who hate spending ten hours in a seat. Instead of racing to the dunes, it splits the journey into shorter legs and adds places the faster tours skip: the oasis of Skoura, the Rose Valley around Kelaat M’Gouna and a night in Zagora, in the heart of the Draa Valley.
You still get the highlights everyone comes for. There is Aït Benhaddou on the first day, the Dades and Todra gorges, and a camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes with a night in a Berber camp near Merzouga. On the way back you loop south through Rissani, Alnif and N’Kob to Zagora, then follow the palm groves of the Draa to Agdz and over the High Atlas to Marrakech.
The tour runs in a shared air-conditioned minibus with a maximum of 17 travelers, departs daily and costs a fixed €270 per person. If you only have three days, the 3 day desert tour from Marrakech covers the core route; if you want this rhythm with your own car and driver, look at our private tours.
