Morocco Tours - Private and shared Tours from Marrakech

Highlights of desert excursions departing from Marrakech include:

Visit the Sahara desert town of Merzouga:

Our Marrakech-based individual and small-group trips always include a stop in the Sahara Desert. When you get at Merzouga’s desert, you’ll be in a completely different mood. When possible, we try to arrive late in the evening to take advantage of the spectacular sunset. Take the camel for a ride on the beautiful sands of the desert The view from the back of a camel is breathtaking as the colors of the Sahara shift. Our camel guys will do all they can to make your camel trip an unforgettable one. On the ride to the camp, they’ll shoot a few unforgettable photos for you to look back on.

When you arrive at the camp, the desert night begins. To begin, a member of our camp staff will extend a warm greeting and offer you a cup of Berber whiskey (mint tea). Relax and take in the stunning vistas of the Sahara desert while you’re there. In the evening, you’ll be served a typical Moroccan feast. Our camel guys will start a fire and get their drums ready at the same time. It’s time to dance around the campfire after supper.

Explore the city of Marrakech:

The Berber language (Amor N Okoch) gave rise to the name Marrakech, which translates to “Land of god.”

In general, the city of Rabat is one of Morocco’s most attractive. In this royal metropolis, you’ll find a lot to do and see. The Jamaa el Fna area in Marrakech is where most visitors begin their trip to the Moroccan city. Most people congregate here to display their talents, tell tales, and sell goods. On the other hand, if you want the nicest views, you’ll have to walk upstairs and sit on a rooftop with a cup of mint tea. Views like this are very rare and well worth the trip. There’s still another well-known landmark just across from the plaza. Marrakech’s greatest mosque, Koutoubia, is known for its distinctive minaret. In addition to the Saadien’s Tombs and the King’s Palace, the red city includes numerous more attractions, such as the Majorelle and Menara gardens.

The Atlas Mountains may be seen from Marrakech on one of our desert treks.

During our desert trips from Marrakech, you’ll be able to see one of the world’s most renowned mountain ranges, the Atlas Mountains. It’s common for us to include the High Atlas Mountains and the Tizi Ntichka Pass in our tailor-made tours. This later route has one of the kingdom’s longest curving stretches. There are several little Berber settlements carved into the mountains in this area. However, we often make a pit stop at the Argan oil cooperatives, where a large number of women get together to make cosmetics. You will also get the opportunity to photograph the road’s curvature from the highest point of the pass at 2260 m. The Middle Atlas Mountains may be seen if you arrange a trip that concludes in Fes.

Explore Ait Benhaddou’s Kasbah:

Many fortified villages may be visited on our planned group and individual trips from Marrakech. Ait Benhaddou is, in fact, the most popular stronghold in Morocco. Between the Sahara desert and the city of Marrakech, this charming town is situated. Many people use it as a pit break to unwind and take in the scenery. To get a better view of the hamlet, we take you on a hike over its river and up to the summit, where you can look down on it. On top of that, Ait Benhaddou is one of the country’s 12 Unesco World Heritage Sites. Aside from tourists, this medieval settlement is also a favorite of filmmakers and actors. Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia were filmed there.

Ouarzazate:

As the gateway to the Sahara Desert, Ouarzazate signifies “city without noise.” Our desert trips from Marrakech include a stop to the Ouallywood of Morocco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The world’s largest solar power plant is located in this city, making it one of the most prominent cities in the nation. In addition, significant elements of movies were shot at Atlas studios. Some Game of Thrones and Prison Break episodes were also filmed there. In addition, a new international airport was constructed just for the performers’ convenience. Taourert, a well-known kasbah located near to this unusual site, is well worth a visit.

Our Marrakech desert trips allow you to see a variety of valleys, including the Atlas Mountains.

Morocco is a beautiful nation with a rich cultural heritage and a thriving economy. There are several beautiful valleys and palm rivers on our desert treks from Marrakech. Ounila Valley, which stretches from Telouet to Ait Benhaddou and is noted for its pomegranate production, is the first valley to be mentioned. But the longest is the Daraa valley, which runs from Ouarzazate to Tagounite and is 1,100 kilometers long. In addition, our journeys will take you through a variety of valleys, both small and large. The Ziz valley, for example, is situated just north of Errachidia. As a result, the region produces so many dates that it has become the primary supply of dates in Morocco. An worldwide festival of dates is held every year in Erfoud, which attracts tourists and locals alike. Dates from all across Morocco and the rest of the world are brought to this location.

You may go on a desert vacation from Marrakesh with these tours:

Tours from Marrakech are famous for their desert excursions. Because it offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of Moroccans in all its simplicity. Camel rides or 4×4 drives are the two most common ways to go across the desert.

In order to see more of the country, most visitors opt for a 44 adventure. Some visitors, on the other hand, want adventure and ride camels. We’ll focus on the 44 tour since it’s the most popular. Picking you up from your tent or hotel and driving you to the Berber nomads is the norm. It’s impossible not to be moved by the simplicity and childlike wonder of these folks who are still forced to live in makeshift shelters. It’s possible to glimpse their herd, which often includes both goats and sheep, if you’re lucky enough. The baby goats and lambs are very popular with visitors. In some families, the number of wives and children ranges from seven to ten.

After learning about the Nomads, we make our way to M’ifiss, where we’ll visit the kohl mine while taking in the surrounding scenery. During the French Empire, this kohl mine was colonized and exploited. Some local residents reopened the mine when France departed, after which it was shut down for a while. Next, we’ll go to a Berber graveyard to pay our respects. A fascinating feature of this location is that you can tell at a single glance whether a shirt is intended for a girl or a guy. Tombstones for men will have their rocks aligned so that they are facing each other. If the tombstones are arranged differently, it indicates that the deceased is a female. After a peaceful stay, we’ll proceed to Gnawa culture, where we’ll get a taste of a different way of life.

Erfoud and Rissani may be explored on one of our desert trips from Marrakech:

Our Marrakech-based individual and group trips will take you to the country’s two most important desert towns in the south. Rissani, a city that served as the beginning point for Tomboctou caravans in the past, is the first place we normally visit. You’ll have a chance to see the city’s traditional souks while you’re here. For many years, Rissani was the go-to city for all of life’s essentials, with people flocking there on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

This is another desert city we often drive through. In addition, there is an annual international festival of dates that attracts people from all over the globe. In addition, Erfoud is the site of a thriving fossil industry.

Take a stroll around Ifrane’s cedar forest:

Touring Tours from Marrakech will take you to one of Morocco’s oldest woods, which will be a highlight of any trip to the country. In the past, the 400-year-old cedar trees were home to a wide variety of creatures. It’s a shame that the vast majority of them are now gone. Barbary macaques may now call it home. Typically, we visit this location to take in the scenery and feed the macaque monkeys.

Ifrane is one of the other places we visit. A trip to the eighth-cleanest city in the planet and the cleanest city in Africa is well worth it. We’ll see the famed Atlas lion statue while we’re here. A lot of people believe that it was built by a German POW. When France conquered Morocco, they established many military outposts around the nation, one of which was in Ifrane. A German prisoner was once detained by them. That is why they wanted him to do anything that would warrant his release in order to do so. To secure his release, he built the Atlas lion monument.

Fes will be on the itinerary of our desert trips from Marrakech:

Most of our desert journeys from Marrakech culminate in Fes, Morocco’s cultural capital. In the past several years, this royal city has become a must-see visit. You’ll see a lot of the city on one of our excursions, and you won’t see anything like it anywhere else. First, we take you to the largest tannery in Fes, Chouara. Located in Fes’s oldest medina neighborhood, it was erected in the 11th century. The Chaoura tannery, in general, is where leather goods are made. Some of these goods are also being sold outside of Morocco. They’re one-of-a-kind due to the fact that they’re handcrafted and painted using only natural materials like spices.

One of the city’s oldest educational institutions, the Madrasa Bou Inania has played a significant part in the city’s past. First and foremost, it was created with the intention of serving as an instructional tool for everyone. So it became the subject of lessons in religion. Being accessible to individuals from all over the globe is what makes this area unique. When you go inside, you’ll be stunned by the exquisiteness of Moroccan design. Our next stop will be Al Qarawiyyin Institution, which is the oldest university in the world according to the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Fatima Al Fihri, also known as “Umm al-Banayn,” constructed the latter. Along with Bab Boujloud, we’ll visit Fes’s historic Medina and other key landmarks. Zaouia Moulay Idriss 2 and many more are also included.

Discover Meknes by:

We’ll take you to one of the country’s oldest towns on one of our desert trips from Marrakesh. In the 17th century, the city of Meknes was declared the capital of Morocco. There are a lot of interesting sights to see and things to do in this city. To begin with, there is the well-known Lhdim square, a little area reminiscent of Jamaa el Fna. In this section, we take you on a tour around the plaza, where you’ll find storytellers, snake charmers, and more. We’ll also visit Meknes’ largest gate, Bab Mansour, which is located only a short distance from the plaza. Lhri and Shrij Soani are the next destinations on our itinerary. It’s easy to go to these two locations in the heart of the city. We’ll have to take the automobile and travel through Medina’s ancient city to get there.

Arriving to the lake of Shrij Souani first, we shall begin our journey. Many believe that a king and his family formerly lived here, and that the monarch was madly in love with his wife. She once informed him that she would like to live somewhere with a beach (ocean) so that she could appreciate the sights from their current location. As a present to her, he ordered the construction of Lake Shrij.

Second, we’ll visit a Moroccan jail that’s really out of the ordinary. In the vicinity of Lhdim Square and Bab Mansour, Qara jail is situated. In general, this jail is claimed to go under the city of Meknes all the way to Fes. A maze-like structure, those who enter it are inevitably disoriented.

As a last stop, we’ll take you to see the city’s historic educational institutions, the city’s various museums, and much more.

Our Marrakech desert trips are a great way to see the “blue city.”

In Morocco, Chefchaouen, or Chaouen, is one of the most visually appealing cities. This blue-painted pearl has become a popular tourist destination in recent years because to its unique aesthetic. Chefchaouen is a must-see for everyone interested in seeing the pinnacle of Moroccan beauty.

There are two basic hypotheses as to why this city is painted blue. On the other side, some individuals claim that it is only a mosquito-control measure. According to another theory, Jews chose the color blue because it symbolizes the sky, bringing them closer to God.

Many attractive places may be found across the city. Chefchaouen is the place to go if you’re a photographer or a picture fan.

The city of Tangier may be explored:

Tangier may be discovered on our desert adventures from Marrakech. As many Moroccans nickname it, the “North bride,” it is one of the most popular tourist spots in the country.

Tangier has a major impact on the globe, not only in Morocco. It became a historical city because of its status as a gate and a popular destination. Tangier quickly rose to the top of the list of must-see destinations for many sailors as a result. The city’s cultural variety was enhanced by the arrival of new civilizations. Not to add that Tangier was where the United States’ first home was constructed.

Tangier’s major sites will be shown to you on one of our trips. This is a good analogy to the Grand Mosque in Cairo, which began as a Roman temple before being converted into a cathedral by the Portuguese. Once it became a mosque, it went through a series of further modifications.

Visit Casablanca on one of our desert tours:

You’ll get a taste of Morocco’s economic heartland on one of our desert trips. The word “casablanca” translates to “white home” in Spanish. Casablanca, like every other Moroccan city, has a Berber name, Anfa, much like the rest of the country. It is often regarded as the country’s biggest metropolis and the economic hub of Morocco.

Among the many highlights of a trip to Morocco is a stop to the Hassan II Mosque. One of the world’s biggest mosques. A portion of it is situated directly on the ocean’s surface. We’ll also take you to the Museum of Judaism. Different artworks and exhibits depicting the Jewish civilisation in Moroccan history may be found here.
