Bespoke Tours

Most tours are customized for private travel.

Welcome to Morocco overland tours. Morocco's Southern and Northern lands differ completely from one another, contrasting both climate and landscape. The South seems to embody a step backward in time to an era of the biblical aura of ancient Mesopotamia. The vast Sahara seems surreal, with its plateaus bordered by mirages. Along these valleys and waddies, you will discover sandcastle-like Kasbahs and romantic oases, where tall date palms grow surrounded by silver-green reeds. Dunes on the far horizon are constantly reshaped by gentle winds, sheltered by azure-blue African skies that shape the backdrop of these lush vistas. Enjoy our small group tours to Morocco, replete with great cultural encounters. If you prefer private tours in Morocco, please get in touch with us to customize a personalized tour for you. All our departures are guaranteed with the best price offers to meet your budget.

These breathtaking landscapes have attracted artists, poets, and filmmakers. Even Cecil de Mill and Martin Scorsese could not capture on film the majesty and unsurpassed beauty of Morocco's southern lands. It is literally heaven on earth, with a depth that can only be truly embraced and appreciated by the naked eye. Contact us for more adventure tours to Morocco.

DAY TO DAY ITINERARY

Day 1: Marrakech city tour

Upon arriving at the Menara Airport in Marrakech, your guide will be waiting to take you to your hotel for check-in. You will devote your day to exploring Marrakech’s many historical sites. You will devote your morning to exploring Marrakech’s many historical sites, starting at the Menara, a magnificent pool surrounded by flowerbeds that resemble an exquisite Moorish edifice. It was constructed in 1866 for dignitaries who enjoyed glorious sunsets with the ethereal Atlas Mountains as a backdrop. The pool also functions as an innovative irrigation system that serves dry life in the desert. Your tour will cover many impressive sites, including the Koutoubia Minaret (identical to la Giralda, a tower found in Sevilla, Spain), and the Saadian tombs, demonstrating Moorish architecture at its best. The tombs consist of sixteenth-century mausoleums, which had lain walled-in and undiscovered until 1917. Next, you will explore the gardens of the Agdal and then the Marjorelle. Finally, you will return to your hotel for dinner and other accommodations.

Day 2: Transfer from Marrakech to Tinghir

You will spend most of your day en route to Tinghir, exploring the legendary Kasbah of Aït-Benhaddou, a renowned architectural marvel classified as UNESCO World Heritage. Your journey will lead you to the highest pass in Morocco, the Taddart and Tizi Tishka Pass, at 11,000 feet. This pass divides the mountains into two distinct facets: the harsh, stark side acting as a shield that protects the hinterland from the dry expansion of the Sahara, and the lush side, soft and evergreen, which collects the moisture from the Gherbi winds of the Atlantic Ocean. You will arrive in Ouarzazate, a city of pleasure for visitors and locals, where southern tribespeople and Berber villagers bring their goods to market. After lunch in Ouarzazate, you will continue to explore the Dadès Valley, traveling through El Kelaâ De Mgouna and Boumalne to view the inimitable natural vistas and unusual rock formations. You will then continue to Tinghir, one large oasis that intercepts water flow between the Dadès and the Todra valleys across the majestic High Atlas Mountains. This is an ideal place to stop for the night. You will conclude your day with dinner and other accommodations in your hotel.

Day 3: Travel from Tinghir to Erfoud - Merzouga Dunes

Your morning will consist of a visit to the Todra Gorges, after which you will continue to Erfoud, where you will explore the Ziz Valley. One of the most aesthetically pleasing southern routes, Erfoud is a dry, red belt of the desert with a sudden drop into a valley filled with date palm groves; it is a land lost in antiquity. You will then continue to Erfoud, one of the most delightful southern regions. You will visit the gorges of Ziz and some oases and natural sites before you reach the magnificent oasis of Erfoud. Once you arrive in Erfoud, you leave your vehicle and hop into the 4-wheel-drive cruiser, which takes you to meet a caravan of camels that you will ride to camp. You will conclude your day in your camp over the dunes of Merzouga, where tents are pitched for you to enjoy a night under the African Skies. After dinner, the Rokba drummers will illuminate your night with their lively dances and moving chants. Enjoy this encounter of man and nature at its best.

Day 4: Mezouga Dunes Sahara Experience

Camels will take you across the desert to the magnificent dunes of Erg Chebbi. You will not want to miss the breathtaking sunrise over the spectacular Merzouga dunes in the Sahara. Afterward, you will eat breakfast with the Tuaregs and start your trip across the desert back roads towards Zagora. You will explore the holy city of Rissani and its adobe Medina, the valley of the Draa, and its breathtaking oases. You will reach Zagora and lodge at the legendary Riad Dar Laman. You will conclude your day with dinner and other accommodations in your hotel.

You will drive through the lowlands and along the mountain passes to Tamegroute, a humble village where deep knowledge is transmitted most simplistically. There, you will visit the famous Moorish Koranic Library. Full of rare books and documents, the library includes 13th-century writings made on gazelle hide. Afterward, you will return to Zagora for the night. You will conclude your day with dinner and other accommodations in your hotel. Afterward, you will enjoy dinner at the hotel.
