Private tours
Marrakech, the “Red City”, blends history, culture and modern life: a medina listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, palaces and souks full of life. From here, the road to the Sahara crosses the High Atlas over the Tizi n’Tichka pass and follows the road of the kasbahs.

How to choose
The short tours reach the Merzouga dunes and come back to Marrakech. The 3-day tour is the most direct, with long days on the road; the 4-day tour spreads the driving better and adds the Ounila and Draa valleys.
Don’t retrace your steps: the 5 and 6-day crossings end in Fes. The 6-day tour adds a guided visit of the Fes medina.
The 8-day tour crosses Morocco from south to north, from the desert to Chefchaouen, and ends in Tangier.
Tailor-made
These are starting points. We can add or remove days, end in another city, change the accommodation category or add activities. If none suits you, we design a tour from Marrakech from scratch.
