Discover Morocco with Expert-Guided Tours from Marrakech

Marrakech is where most of our trips begin — a red city at the foot of the High Atlas, equal parts Berber, Arab and Andalusian, and the easiest launch point for the Sahara, the coast and the mountains. We are a local team here — Brahim and the drivers and guides we grew up with — and we run the road south more often than almost anyone.

From Marrakech we run 10 tours: day trips out to Essaouira, the Ouzoud falls and the Atlas valleys, and multi-day crossings to the big dunes of Erg Chebbi at Merzouga. Whether you have a day or two weeks, there is a route that fits.

  • Desert tours: 2-day Zagora, 3 to 6-day Merzouga and Sahara circuits, one-way crossings to Fes
  • Day trips: Essaouira, Ouzoud Waterfalls, the Ourika Valley and the High Atlas
  • Grand tours: 7-day Marrakech to Casablanca and longer
  • All private, at your pace — no big buses

See every option on our Marrakech tours page, and when you are ready, send us a message.

  • Our 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour was the highlight of our entire Morocco trip. The sunset camel trek and sleeping in a luxury desert camp in Merzouga were absolutely magical. Morocco Desert Discovery exceeded every expectation — professional, punctual, and genuinely passionate. Worth every penny!

  • We booked a 7-day Morocco tour from Casablanca for our family of five. Every detail was flawlessly handled — from the Fes medina guided tour to our night in the Sahara Desert camp. Our guide Hassan was outstanding. The kids still talk about the camel ride at sunrise. Best Morocco family tour we could have asked for!

    California, USA
  • I traveled solo and booked a 5-day desert tour from Marrakech. Morocco Desert Discovery made me feel completely safe throughout. The Todra Gorge excursion, the Dades Valley road, and the Erg Chebbi dunes were breathtaking. Truly the best Morocco solo tour experience imaginable.

  • We specifically requested a luxury Sahara desert tour from Marrakech for our anniversary and were absolutely blown away. The private Berber guide, gourmet dinner under the stars, and the 5-star desert glamping tent in Merzouga were world-class. Romantic, authentic, unforgettable. Morocco Desert Discovery delivers pure magic.

  • Booked a 3-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour and it was the best decision I made. The landscapes — the Ziz Valley palm oasis, the Todra Gorge, the Erg Chebbi dunes — are unlike anything I have seen in years of travel. The guide was knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly professional. Highly recommended!

  • Morocco Desert Discovery organized our 10-day Morocco grand tour from Casablanca covering all four Imperial Cities and the Sahara. Highlights: the Chefchaouen blue city day trip, the Fes tanneries tour, and that incredible Sahara night. World-class service!

  • Took the 4-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour with my partner. Our guide knew every legend behind every Kasbah, every star in the Sahara sky, and every hidden gem in the Draa Valley. The camel trek at sunset over Erg Chebbi dunes was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

  • As a solo female traveler, Morocco Desert Discovery put me completely at ease. My 2-day Zagora desert tour from Marrakech was perfectly organized, safe, and genuinely beautiful. The desert camp under the stars was unforgettable. Truly trustworthy.

  • We booked a 4-day Fes to Marrakech tour and were completely overwhelmed by how beautiful Morocco is. Our guide took us through the Todra Gorge canyon, the Ait Ben Haddou UNESCO Kasbah, and the magical Sahara dunes at Merzouga. The most professional tour operator we have ever used anywhere in the world.

  • Absolutely spectacular 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour. From crossing the High Atlas Mountains to the moment our camels crested that first dune — it was genuinely life-changing. The Berber desert camp was comfortable and the food was incredible.

    Ryan T.
    Toronto, Canada
  • I took a Chefchaouen day trip from Fes followed by a 3-day Fes to Marrakech Sahara tour. Both were expertly organized. The Blue City is even more stunning in person and the Sahara night was surreal — total silence, a million stars, and the warmth of Berber hospitality.

    Amanda C.
    Vancouver, Canada
  • We flew to Morocco specifically to do a luxury Sahara desert experience and Morocco Desert Discovery delivered beyond our wildest expectations. The private 3-day Marrakech desert tour with luxury glamping in Erg Chebbi was absolutely world-class.

    Tom & Rachel W.

  • After reading dozens of reviews, I chose Morocco Desert Discovery for my 5-day Morocco desert tour from Marrakech. The Dades Valley winding road, the Todra Gorge sunrise hike, and two nights in the Merzouga Sahara Desert were perfection.

    Natalie F.
    Melbourne, Australia
  • We did the 6-day Tangier to Marrakech tour via Chefchaouen and the Sahara. Every single day delivered something extraordinary. Morocco Desert Discovery’s planning was flawless and our guide was one of the best we have had in 15 years of world travel.

    Chris & Kate M.
    Brisbane, Australia
  • Booked a 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour with Morocco Desert Discovery during my first visit to Africa. The contrast between the ancient Kasbahs of Ait Ben Haddou and the vast silence of the Sahara Desert in Merzouga is indescribable.

    Kevin C.

  • We chose Morocco Desert Discovery for a 7-day Morocco tour from Casablanca. The Fes medina blew our minds. Chefchaouen was even bluer than the photos. And the Sahara camel trek at sunset in Merzouga was the most beautiful thing we have ever witnessed.

    Grace & William L.

  • My 4-day Marrakech to Erg Chebbi tour was perfectly organized — excellent accommodation, wonderful guide, and the most spectacular landscapes I have ever seen. The Draa Valley oasis and the Todra Gorge were incredible highlights.

    Amy H.

  • The Ziz Gorge viewpoint, the Merzouga Erg Chebbi dunes at golden hour, and the Atlas Mountains on the final day were all stunning. Our guide was patient, funny, and full of fascinating stories about Berber culture. Five stars, without question.

  • We booked the 10-day Morocco grand circuit from Casablanca to celebrate our 10th anniversary.

  • I joined the 3-day Sahara desert tour from Marrakech as a solo traveler and ended up in a wonderful small group of six. Our guide was exceptional — expert knowledge, perfect English, and a real passion for sharing Morocco. The Sahara sunset camel trek was beyond anything I imagined.
