7-Day Desert Tour from Marrakech

Embark on an epic 7-day desert tour from Marrakech that takes you through the breathtaking heart of Morocco. This journey is a masterfully woven tapestry of contrasts—from the vibrant energy of imperial cities to the profound silence of the Sahara Desert. You’ll traverse the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains, explore ancient kasbahs, ride camels into the sunset over the Erg Chebbi dunes, and connect with the timeless traditions of the Berber people.

This is more than a trip; it’s a private, fully immersive experience designed for maximum comfort and flexibility. Let us guide you through the Morocco you’ve always dreamed of.
