Overview

Escape Marrakech on an exclusive private three-day journey to the Sahara, crossing the High Atlas Mountains and traveling through Ait Ben Haddou, the Dades Valley and Todra Gorge before reaching the golden dunes of Merzouga.

Designed for travelers who value privacy, comfort and personal service, the experience includes private air-conditioned transportation appropriate for your group, accommodation, dinner and breakfast at both overnight stops, a camel experience in Merzouga, and Marrakech hotel or riad pickup and drop-off.

Choose Private Standard for a comfortable private Sahara journey with a private desert tent, or upgrade to Private Luxury for premium accommodation and a private luxury desert tent with its own ensuite bathroom, shower and toilet.
