About This Tour

The journey from Marrakech crosses the High Atlas through the Tizi n'Tichka pass, then continues past kasbahs, oases and red earth villages, with plenty of stops for photos and tea along the way.

The dunes of Erg Chebbi near Merzouga are the most famous in Morocco. Small villages, palm gardens and nomad tents surround the sand, and the views from the top of a dune at sunrise make the early start more than worth it.

Fes is the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco. Its medina is one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world, full of artisans, old madrasas, fountains and the famous leather tanneries.

Over 3 days and 2 nights, the itinerary balances time on the road with visits and moments to relax. Distances are planned so you arrive before dark whenever possible, and your driver is always ready to stop for a viewpoint, a coffee or a short walk.

Riding a camel into the dunes is one of the classic Sahara experiences. Our camel handlers lead the caravan at a calm pace, giving you time to enjoy the shapes of the sand and the changing light before you reach camp.

Pick-up from your hotel or riad is included, and we can also arrange airport transfers or extra nights. Send us your request through the form and we will prepare a programme that fits your plans.
