We organize a private trip for you and your friends. The one you’ve been talking about for years

The trip is private: a driver and a car just for your group are with you the whole way, and a local guide leads you through the medinas of Fez and Marrakech. You won’t need to hail taxis or find your own way. Hamid is with your group the whole trip, so there’s always someone local to call. We’ve taken more than 20 groups of women around Morocco. A member of a group of 14 friends wrote on Tripadvisor that the team looked after their safety, and they laughed the whole way.

The 8-day itinerary has three long drives: Fez to the Sahara is about 7 hours, the Sahara to the Dades Valley about 5, and from there to Marrakech about 6. That’s pure driving time; along the way we stop for views, coffee and lunch. The other days have no long drives. If that’s a lot for your group, we’ll add a day and split the longest drive in two.

These are tents right among the dunes, and inside there’s a bed, your own bathroom with a hot shower, a toilet, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. In the evening, dinner and music by the fire. Winter nights in the desert are cold, so a warm sweater comes in handy by the fire. Your itinerary will include photos of the camp.

No, the camel is optional. Anyone who doesn’t want an hour and a half on a camel can get to camp by car and watch the sunset on the dune with everyone else.

Yes. You can skip a city, swap an excursion or stay longer on the dunes while on the road, as long as distances and bookings allow. The team lives in Morocco, so we sort these things out on the spot.

You can go year-round. Spring and fall are the most popular: warm but not hot. In winter the days are sunny, around 68°F (20°C), and the nights in the Sahara are cold. In summer the desert can top 104°F (40°C), but you’ll see the fewest tourists. We’ll suggest how best to plan the itinerary for your month.

English, both the messages and the trip itself. The team also speaks Spanish and French.

An 8-day trip for a group of 6–8 costs from $3,150 per person, flights not included. The price includes 3–4 star hotels and riads, breakfasts, and lunches and dinners on the way to the Sahara and at the camp. In the other cities you choose and pay for meals yourselves. The bigger the group, the lower the price per person: about $2,700 for 10–12 people and about $2,400 for 16 or more. The price also depends on the number of days and the hotel level. We’ll price upscale hotels, up to five stars, as a separate option. What’s included is listed above. We’ll send the exact price for your group with the itinerary within 48 hours.

To secure your dates we need a 25% deposit; we don’t ask for the full amount in advance. You pay the balance before arrival or in Morocco, as agreed. You can pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer; the invoice comes from our company, and its details are at the bottom of the page. On the day of payment you get written confirmation: dates, group, itinerary, hotels and the balance due. If you’re the one collecting the money, we’ll send a per-person breakdown and a ready-made message for your group chat.

The deposit isn’t refundable, because we use it right away to book the riads, the camp and transport for your dates. That’s why we only ask for it once the itinerary and group work for everyone. If one of your friends can’t come after booking, we’ll recalculate the trip for the new group. The terms for changing dates will be set out in the booking confirmation.

Group size can change, and that’s fine. We’ll price several options at once, for example for 10, 12 and 14, and you can show your friends all three. We need the final number when we lock in the dates and you pay the deposit.

Yes. Rooms are usually doubles, with one big bed or two separate ones, but anyone who wants a room to herself can have one. We’ll show the single supplement as a separate line in the quote. Every room has its own bathroom, even at the camp.

US citizens don’t need a visa for trips shorter than 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least six months when you arrive. Rules can change, so check travel.state.gov before you book. You can fly into Casablanca, Marrakech or Fez. We’ll suggest where it’s best to start and finish based on your tickets, and we’ll meet you at any of these airports.
