Desert Experience Private Guided Tour From Marrakech

Sleep in a desert camp on a private, overnight tour from Marrakech that includes round-trip transport with a personal driver, meals, and accommodations. Visit the city of Ouarzazate and the Draa Valley, ride a camel into the Sahara dunes, and enjoy a traditional meal and music by the fire as the stars rise over the desert.

Day 1: Marrakech – Ouarzazate – M’hamid (L, D)

Get an early start on the day with 7am departure from your Marrakech accommodations, then leave the city behind as you drive to Ouarzazate, with a lunch break at Agdz, a caravanserai oasis with mud-brick kasbahs, palm groves, and a hidden desert prison. Continue through the palm-filled Draa Valley until the road ends at M’hamid, the final village before the Saharan sand dunes begin. Ride a camel between the dunes to a scenic desert camp, arriving in time for sunset over the sand. Spend the evening by the fire, listening to traditional desert blues singing, and eating under the stars.

Overnight: Camp “Rêve Sahara”

Day 2: Sahara Desert – Ouarzazate – Marrakech (B, L)

Wake up for sunrise in the dunes, pause for breakfast, then ride a camel back to M’hamid. Follow the same route as the previous day, with a stop in the Draa Valley town of Tamegroute to see the community’s traditional green desert pottery, underground kasbah, and an ancient Koranic library that was once an important center of Sufi learning. Stop in Ouarzazate for lunch, then make the return trip to Marrakech, where this tour concludes with drop-off at your accommodations.
