How it works

Three steps, and none of them cost you anything.

You stay in control of who sees your request. Nothing is forwarded, sold on, or broadcast to a list.

  1. Describe your trip

    Departure city, dates, how many of you are travelling, how long you have and roughly what you want to spend. It takes about two minutes.

  2. Choose your agencies

    Pick up to five from the directory. Only the agencies you select receive your request — nobody else sees it, and your contact details stay on this site.

  3. Compare the offers

    Each agency replies with its own itinerary and price. You read them side by side, then deal directly with the one you prefer.

Itineraries

The Sahara routes travellers ask for most

These four come up again and again in the requests we receive. Any agency listed here can quote for them — or for something you would rather put together yourself.

Nights are those spent away from your departure city. Erg Chebbi is the tall dune field most people picture when they think of the Sahara.
Route Nights Dune field Suits
Marrakech → Merzouga Classic 2 Erg Chebbi A first trip. High Atlas, Aït Ben Haddou, Dades and Todra gorges on the way.
Fes → Merzouga 2 Erg Chebbi Arriving in the north. Ifrane, the Middle Atlas cedars and the Ziz valley.
Marrakech → Zagora 1 Zagora / Tinfou Being short on time. Smaller dunes, and a great deal less driving.
Merzouga stay 1 Erg Chebbi Travellers already in the south. Camel trek at sunset, sunrise over the dunes.

Before you book

What people ask us

If your question is not here, put it in your request — the agencies will answer it in their offers.

How much does a Morocco desert tour cost?

A shared three-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga generally starts somewhere between €95 and €180 per person. A private tour, with your own vehicle and driver-guide, more often lands around €250 to €300 and climbs from there with the standard of the camp. Season, group size and the amount of driving move the figure a great deal, which is exactly why it is worth having several agencies quote on the same trip.

When is the best time to go?

Spring, roughly March to May, and autumn, September to November. The dunes are punishing in midsummer and the desert nights are genuinely cold in December and January. Bring layers whatever the season — the temperature drops fast once the sun is down.

What is normally included, and what is not?

Transport, the driver, a night at a desert camp, dinner and breakfast, and the camel trek are usually in the price. Lunches, drinks, entrance fees to monuments, local guides at each site and tips often are not. Ask each agency to put its exclusions in writing before you agree to anything.

Shared tour or private tour?

A shared tour is the cheapest way to reach the Sahara and follows a fixed route and timetable, in a minibus with other travellers. A private tour costs more and gives you the vehicle, the pace and the stops. For a group of three or four, the gap between the two is often narrower than you would expect.

How many days do I need?

Two days and one night is enough for Zagora and back. Reaching Erg Chebbi, the dune field most people picture when they think of the Sahara, realistically takes three days from either Marrakech or Fes. Anything shorter is mostly time in a vehicle.

Does it cost anything to use this site?

No. Describing your trip and receiving offers is free for travellers. You pay the agency you choose, directly — nothing passes through us.
