Marrakech Tours in October 2026

This journey from Marrakech to Fes was nothing short of a magical experience! It has been wonder upon wonder since we crossed the pictorial Middle Atlas Mountains, with varying scenery and cultural stops. The most outstanding was no doubt at Erg Chebbi dunes, where we took an incomparable sunset camel ride-all attired in blue turbans. The setting sun behind the endless stretch of sand, and the Berber music playing around the campsite, almost felt like a dream. These stops in places like Ait Ben Haddou and the fossil museum in Erfoud gave some depth to the trip, giving us a taste of Morocco's rich history and geology. Accommodations were comfortable, most particularly the luxury desert camp, and blended really nicely into the environment, enhancing the whole experience.

Our trip from Marrakech to Fes was magical! Crossing the Middle Atlas Mountains, we were awestruck by diverse landscapes. The highlight was the Erg Chebbi dunes with a sunset camel ride. Stops at Ait Ben Haddou and Erfoud's fossil museum enriched our journey. The luxury desert camp was perfectly integrated.

Mohamed (sp?) was a great guide. Said was an excellent, safe driver. Overall this was an incredible experience and I would recommend Explore without hesitation. The itinerary was very good. With the large amount of driving, stops were well thought out. The local guide in Fez was particularly good - all the guides were quite good but he stood out. Teas with the nomad family and the Berber family were amazing highlights. A few very minor points and I mention them only for completeness. Most of the hotels were quite good, but many of the rooms did not have shower curtains or glass enclosures :-). The Marrakech guide made a few too many "man/woman" jokes - not a big deal, but just so he could tone that down for next time. The desert camp was amazing - one small thing, the singers only played for a very short time compared to the other camps. But again, a very small point. As I said, this was a wonderful experience. We have travelled a lot on our own but we could not have had this kind of experience on our own. Thanks so much for a fantastic trip!

The tour from Marrakech to Fes was unforgettable. Crossing the Atlas Mountains, visiting Berber villages, and watching the sunset over the Erg Chebbi dunes on camelback felt like a dream come true. The warm hospitality and camping under the stars made it truly exceptional.

The tour, driver Hassan and Tour Leader, Ridouane were fantastic. I had a brilliant time, just going with the flow of the tour and experiencing all I could in Morocco. Ridouane is a godsend and an amazing leader, so patient and able to troubleshoot problems from more pedantic members of the tour group. I don't know how he does it!

Fabulous holiday, one of the best we've been to with explore. Our guide Mohammed was amazing, nothing was too much trouble, he was knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind and funny. Our drive over the Atlas mountains was memorable for many reasons, our driver Abdul was outstanding, we always felt safe in his hands, he even stopped for us to take photos of the famous goats in the argon trees!! Every place we visited was magical and beautiful, the only exception was Marrakech market where we saw poor animal welfare and exploitation. Would definitely recommend this holiday and you don't have to be serious hikers to enjoy to walks.
