What Our Travellers Say

★★★★★

"The 7-day circuit was absolutely perfect. Chefchaouen, Fez, the desert and Marrakech all in one week. Our guide Youssef spoke perfect English and knew every story and legend. The riads were beautiful. Worth every euro. We're already planning to come back for the 10-day circuit!"

Ana Fernández · Mexico City · TripAdvisor
★★★★★

"We travelled as a couple for our anniversary and it was the trip of our lives. The luxury camp in the desert with dinner under the stars was simply magical. Private transport gave us complete freedom with timings. I would never travel to Morocco any other way."

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the itinerary be personalised?
Absolutely. This is the standard itinerary, but we adapt every detail: the pace, departure times, more or less luxurious accommodation, additional activities (hot air balloon, quad biking, hiking) and total duration. Tell us what interests you most.
How many people travel in the same vehicle?
Just your group. All our tours are 100% private — you will never share transport with other tourists. The price includes the full vehicle for your group.
Is the tour suitable for children?
Yes, many families do this circuit with children aged 4 and over. We adapt the pace and activities. Children are fascinated by the camels, dunes and souks. For younger children, we recommend the 5-day tour.
What happens if it rains or there are adverse weather conditions?
Morocco has more than 300 sunny days a year. In the event of occasional rain, we adapt the itinerary. The desert is practically dry all year round. If there is snow at the Tichka Pass (December–January), we take alternative routes.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance to guarantee availability of the best camps and riads. During high season (March–May and September–November), 3–4 weeks ahead is ideal. That said, we can organise tours in just a few days if availability allows.
