Questions about this tour

What is the difference with the 3-day tour?

The same highlights, but the return is split in two: a night in Ouarzazate and a relaxed visit of Aït Ben Haddou on the last morning. Daily drives are much shorter.

Is this tour good for families with children?

It is our recommended route for families: shorter stages, more breaks and time to play in the dunes.

Where does the tour start and end?

It starts in Marrakech – we pick you up at your hotel, riad or meeting point – and ends in Marrakech. If you prefer another start or end point, we can adapt it.

Is this tour private?

Yes. Only you and your travel companions, with your own vehicle and English-speaking driver. We never mix groups.

Can I customise this itinerary?

Absolutely. Add nights, change the start or end city, upgrade the hotels or the tent, or add activities – just tell us what you would like.

How do I book and pay?

Send us your dates by WhatsApp or email. We reply within 24 hours with the final itinerary and price, and explain the payment conditions in your quote.

What is the best time for this tour?

October to April is the most pleasant season. In summer the tour runs too, with camel rides in the late afternoon and early morning to avoid the heat.
