Please see the package includes section for further details.
Our Moroccan Desert Safari tour is a fantastic insight into the history and cultures of the Moroccan desert regions.
The Moroccan tour kicks off with a city tour in Marrakech including the Bahia Palace, the Koutoubia Minaret, before finishing in the famous Djema el-Fnaa square and surrounding souqs. Next we'll leave the city and travel across the Atlas Mountains and over the highest mountain pass in North Africa. While we’re at it, we'll also visit the famous UNESCO world heritage site of Ait Benhaddou which has featured in many famous movies. We'll then continue through the Draa Valley to the remote desert town of Zagora.
From here, after passing through many Berber villages we reach the famous Erg Chebbi sand dunes where you have the option to spend the night in a comfortable Berber desert camp and take a camel ride at sunset.
Our next stop is at the spectacular Todra Gorge before we pass the Skoura Oasis on our way along the 'Road of a Thousand Kasbahs' to Ouarzazate, or 'Place of no Noise'. The famous Atlas movie studios are located here, and the area has played host to numerous TV shows and films.
After crossing the Atlas mountains again, back in Marrakech you have a free afternoon to explore Marrakech further and head back into the square for a final exciting evening amidst the street food stalls and entertainers.
The standard tour uses comfortable mid-range hotels, with an upgrade available to a higher Superior level on request – don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.
