Morocco Tours from Marrakech — Desert Tours, Day Trips & Grand Journeys

Marrakech is the great starting gate of Moroccan travel: the High Atlas rises an hour from the medina, the kasbah road runs south from its walls, and the Sahara waits at the end of it.

Marrakech is where most Morocco desert tours begin, and the Red City earns the role. From here the classic southern road unfolds in order: the switchbacks of the Tizi n’Tichka pass, the clay ksar of Ait Benhaddou, the film city of Ouarzazate, then the Dades and Todra valleys before the first orange dunes appear at Merzouga. Our Marrakech departures cover the full range — the 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour in private, small-group and shared formats, the celebrated one-way Marrakech to Fes desert tour, luxury and family versions, and longer journeys that continue to the coast or the imperial cities.

Not every Marrakech tour heads for the sand. The city is also the base for our most-loved day trips — the Atlas Mountains and Berber villages, Essaouira on the Atlantic, and Ait Benhaddou with Ouarzazate — each returning you to your riad the same evening. Whatever you choose, pickup is from your accommodation, the vehicle is air-conditioned, and your driver-guide is a local who knows the southern road by heart.

Why Start Your Tour in Marrakech?

Because no other city gives you so much Morocco per day. You can breakfast in a medina riad, cross a 2,260-metre mountain pass by lunch, sleep in a valley kasbah hotel, and watch the next sunset from a camel on the Erg Chebbi dunes. Marrakech also has Morocco’s widest choice of international flights, which makes it the easiest start — and, on one-way tours, the easiest finish.

Yes. We pick up from Marrakech hotels and riads; where the medina lanes are too narrow for a vehicle, we meet you at the nearest accessible gate and walk you in — your driver confirms the exact point the day before.
