Marrakech Tours and Trips
Private tours from Marrakech with your own driver: the Sahara desert, the Atlas Mountains, Essaouira and the Atlantic coast, plus everything you need to plan your stay in the Red City.
Our agency is based in Marrakech, so most of our trips start right at your riad in the medina. From the Red City you can reach the Sahara dunes of Merzouga in a private 3 day trip, cross the country to Fes through the desert, or head west to the Atlantic coast at Oualidia and Essaouira.
Every Marrakech tour on this page is private: only your group in the vehicle, departure times that suit you and stops where you want them. Tell us your dates on WhatsApp and we send a day-by-day plan with a clear price within 24 hours.

How many days in Marrakech?
Plan 2 to 3 days in the city itself: one for the medina, Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks, one for the gardens and palaces, and a third for a hammam, a cooking class or a day trip to the Atlas Mountains. Then add 3 days for the Sahara or the coast. Ideas in things to do in Marrakech beyond Jemaa el-Fnaa.
Marrakech travel tips
Marrakech Menara airport has direct flights from many European cities, which makes the city the easiest start for a Morocco trip from Europe. Stay in a riad inside the medina to walk to the sights, carry some dirhams for the souks and agree prices before a service. Read money and the dirham, tipping in Morocco and is Morocco safe to visit.
Best time to visit Marrakech
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most pleasant months for both the city and a desert trip. Summer afternoons are very hot, so we start early and plan the Sahara camel ride at sunset; winter days are sunny with cool evenings. See the best time to visit Morocco month by month.
Marrakech or Fes first?
Many travellers combine both cities with the desert in between. Our Marrakech to Fes desert tours do exactly that in 3 or 4 days. Not sure where to start? Read Marrakech vs Fes: which first.
