Prices are quoted per person and drop as your group grows, since a private vehicle and guide cost the same for two or six travellers.
It depends on how long you have. For most first-time visitors a 5–7 day private tour from Marrakech that combines the Sahara, the Atlas Mountains and Ait Benhaddou is the sweet spot. With more time, a grand north-to-south tour from Fes or Tangier down to Marrakech covers the whole country.
A minimum of 3 days gets you to the Sahara and back from Marrakech. To see the desert plus cities and mountains without rushing, plan 7–10 days. Read our full guide on how many days you need in Morocco.
The price depends on duration, group size and accommodation standard. Because our tours are private, the per-person cost drops as your group grows. See our honest breakdown of what a Morocco desert tour costs, then request a quote for an exact figure.
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable weather for the desert and cities. Summer is hot inland; winter is mild by day but cold in the desert at night. See the best time to visit the Sahara.
Every tour is private. You travel with your own English-speaking driver-guide and vehicle, set your own departure time and pace, and choose where to stop. No strangers, no fixed coach schedule.
Most travellers start from Marrakech, which is closest to the Sahara. You can also start from Fes (great for a north-to-south route), Casablanca (main international airport) or Tangier (arriving from Spain). We run private tours from all of them.
Yes. We handle riads, hotels and desert camps end to end, in standard or luxury categories, and pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation. Just tell us your preferred comfort level when booking.
Morocco is one of the safest countries in North Africa for travellers, and touring privately with a licensed local guide adds an extra layer of comfort — your guide handles navigation, translation and local logistics throughout.
