Itinerary
Day1 Casablanca → Rabat → Meknes → Fes
Meet your driver in Casablanca and start with the Hassan II Mosque, built over the Atlantic. In Rabat, visit the Hassan Tower, the royal mausoleum and the blue-and-white Kasbah of the Udayas. Continue to Meknes and its monumental gates before arriving in Fes in the evening.
Day2 Guided tour of Fes
A full day with a local guide in Fes el-Bali, the oldest and largest medina in Morocco. Visit the Bou Inania Madrasa, the Al Quaraouiyine mosque and university, the Chouara tanneries, the Nejjarine fountain and the artisans' quarters of brass-workers, weavers and potters.
Day3 Fes → Middle Atlas → Ziz Valley → Merzouga
Head south through Ifrane and the cedar forest, lunch in Midelt, then descend the dramatic Ziz Valley to Merzouga. At sunset a camel caravan takes you into the Erg Chebbi dunes to our camp for dinner, music and a night under the stars.
Day4 Merzouga → Rissani → Todra Gorge → Dades Gorges
Climb a dune for sunrise, then enjoy breakfast at camp. Visit Rissani's market and ksar, walk inside Todra Gorge near Tinghir and drive on to the Dades Gorges, where the road winds between striking red cliffs.
Day5 Dades → Ouarzazate → Aït Ben Haddou → Marrakech
Travel through the Valley of Roses and Ouarzazate to Aït Ben Haddou for a walk through the ksar. Cross the High Atlas by the Tizi n'Tichka pass and arrive in Marrakech in time for an evening stroll on Jemaa el-Fna square.
Day6 Marrakech → Casablanca
Enjoy a free morning in Marrakech — perhaps the Majorelle Garden or a last visit to the souks. After lunch, your driver takes you back to Casablanca, a three-hour drive, for drop-off at your hotel or Mohammed V airport.

Private & flexible
Only your group travels in the vehicle. Ask your driver to stop for photos whenever you like, and tell us if you want to change the route or add days.
Your desert camp
Our camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes has comfortable tents with real beds and blankets. Your big luggage stays in the 4x4 — take a small bag for the night.
What to pack
Sunglasses, sunscreen, a scarf for the wind, comfortable shoes and a warm layer: desert nights are cold from November to March.
Best time to travel
October to May is ideal. In summer we start early and rest at midday to avoid the heat. Every season has its own beauty.
Food & diets
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meals are possible. Just tell us when you book or let your driver know on day one.
How to book
Send us your dates and number of travellers. We reply with a price for your group. A small deposit confirms the tour; the balance is paid in cash on the first day (euros, dollars or dirhams).
Frequently asked questions
Which vehicles do you use?
Comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles adapted to your group: 4x4 Land Cruisers or minivans for small groups, and Mercedes Sprinter minibuses for groups of 8 or more.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as possible, especially for spring, autumn and holiday periods. Last-minute requests are welcome too — contact us and we will do our best.
How do I pay for the tour?
We ask for a small deposit when you book. The balance is paid in cash to your driver on the first day of the tour, in euros, dollars or Moroccan dirhams.
What happens to my luggage in the desert?
Your suitcases stay safely in the vehicle or are brought to the camp by 4x4. You only need a small backpack for the camel ride.
I don't want to ride a camel. Can I still sleep at the camp?
Of course. We can take you to the camp by 4x4 instead of camel.
Can we change the itinerary?
Yes. All our tours are private, so we can add nights, change hotels, include activities or adjust the route to your wishes.
