Desert Tours from Marrakech

Two very different deserts lie within reach of Marrakech, and our desert tours cover both. Under an hour from the city, the Agafay desert is a rolling landscape of stony hills and plateaus with the High Atlas on the horizon, ideal for a sunset camel ride, a quad session and dinner at a desert camp without spending a night away from your riad. For the classic picture of golden sand, the Sahara dunes of Erg Chebbi near Merzouga are the real thing, reached on a three-day journey over the High Atlas via Ait Benhaddou, the Dades Valley and the Todra Gorge.

Every desert tour includes pick-up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech, and groups stay small. Pack a warm layer, because desert evenings turn cold, especially from November to March. Book now and pay on the day, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before an Agafay trip or 7 days before a Sahara tour.
