Our private 5 Day Agadir To Marrakech Tour offers an immersive Moroccan experience. Most people fly into Agadir for the beach; we use it as the start of one of Morocco’s quietest desert roads. Our 5 day Agadir to Marrakech tour is a private, one-way crossing from Agadir up through the Anti-Atlas and the southern Sahara to Marrakech — the route the big operators skip, so you often have the dunes to yourself.
You start in Taroudant, the red-walled town they call little Marrakech, climb the saffron hills of the Anti-Atlas, and reach the desert at Foum Zguid for a camel trek and a Berber camp out on the sand. The road north runs the Draa Valley past a thousand kasbahs, through the Todra Gorge and the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, then over the Tizi n’Tichka into Marrakech. Private 4×4, English-speaking Berber driver.
Want the coast and Essaouira too? Our 7-day Agadir grand tour loops back to the sea.

We pick you up at 7:30 AM from your Agadir hotel, riad, or the airport and run east through endless argan forest to Taroudant, the walled town they call little Marrakech, for a stop under its 16th-century Saadian ramparts. We climb the Anti-Atlas on the Tizi Mighert pass — ochre rock, terraced villages, hilltop kasbahs — with tea and photo stops and a roadside Berber lunch, then east via Tata to Foum Zguid, on the edge of Iriqui National Park.
Accommodation: hotel or kasbah near Foum Zguid (half board).
After breakfast we drive north into the Draa Valley, the longest palm oasis in the world — two million date palms down some 200 km of river past mud-brick kasbahs. At Zagora you get the photo at the old Timbuktu, 52 days by camel signpost and the little souk, then on to the Tinfou dunes for a sunset camel trek to a Berber camp run by people we know — tagine, drums, and a sky thick with stars.
Accommodation: Berber desert camp, Tinfou (half board).
You wake before dawn for the sunrise, then ride back as the dunes shift from grey to gold. We stop for mint tea with a nomad household on the desert margin, then transfer east to the Merzouga / Erg Chebbi area for a second desert night — a comfortable riad with a real bed and a pool.
Accommodation: hotel or riad in Merzouga (half board).
An optional second sunrise over Erg Chebbi, then west via Rissani, cradle of the Alaouite dynasty, and Erfoud, the fossil town, to the Todra Gorge, where 300-metre walls close to a few metres apart and you walk the cool floor. On along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through the Dades Valley to near Ait Ben Haddou by evening.
Accommodation: hotel or riad near Ait Ben Haddou (half board).
A morning at the UNESCO Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou — across the riverbed, up to the granary at the top, and the film locations of Gladiator and Game of Thrones — then the Tizi n’Tichka (2,260 m) over the High Atlas, all switchbacks, with an argan-cooperative stop on the way down, into Marrakech by mid-afternoon. We drop you at your hotel, the airport, or the train station.
When you are ready, send us a message — we will set it up around you.
