Private Morocco tours are the most comfortable and flexible way to discover the country: a vehicle just for you, a local driver-guide, and an itinerary that follows your pace rather than a group schedule. This guide explains the main desert routes, how many days you need, and how to book your private trip with Morocco Experience Tours.
Why Choose Private Morocco Tours?
Morocco packs medieval medinas, the Atlas Mountains, and Sahara dunes into relatively short distances. However, mountain roads and long transfers make logistics matter. That is why a private tour makes the difference: you stop where you want, leave when you prefer, and linger at the places you love.
- Total flexibility: timing, stops, and pace decided by you.
- Local driver-guide: cultural context, languages, and safety on the road.
- Hand-picked stays: charming riads and desert camps checked by our team.
- No groups: ideal for couples, families, and friends.
Desert Routes on Our Private Morocco Tours
The star of almost every trip is the Sahara, specifically the dunes of Merzouga and Erg Chebbi, which rise to around 150 meters. These are the most requested routes:
Marrakech – Merzouga – Fes (3 to 5 days)
Cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass, visit the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou and the Dades and Todra valleys, and sleep in a Berber camp. See our tours from Marrakech.
Fes – Desert – Marrakech (3 to 4 days)
The same route in reverse, through the Middle Atlas cedar forests and the Ziz Valley. All options are listed under tours from Fes.
Grand circuits from Casablanca or Tangier (7 to 12 days)
In addition, if you arrive in Casablanca or the north, you can combine the Imperial Cities, Chefchaouen, and the Sahara in one trip. Browse tours from Casablanca and tours from Tangier.

How Many Days Do You Need?
Generally, 3 days is enough for a desert escape from Marrakech. With 7 or 8 days, on the other hand, you can see the Sahara, Fes, and Chefchaouen without rushing. Finally, 10 to 14 days lets you add the Atlantic coast and Essaouira. For a ready-made route, see our 8-Day Essential Morocco Tour from Marrakech to Tangier or all our Morocco tour packages.
Practical Tips Before You Book
Pack layers, since desert nights are cold even in spring. Also, exchange some dirhams on arrival and always confirm your camp’s facilities. For official country information, visit the Moroccan National Tourist Office.
