Everything you need to know about our 7-day tours
Our 7-day tours

Which airports can my tour start and end at?
Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier and Agadir. You can arrive at one airport and leave from another, which saves a day of driving.
Are the tours private?
Yes. Only you and your travel companions, with your own car and driver. You choose the pace, the stops and the photo breaks.
Can I change the itinerary?
Of course. Our routes are a starting point. Tell us what you want to see and we adapt the 7 days to you and to your flight times.
How many cities will I visit?
Between three and six, depending on the route, plus the landscapes in between: the Atlas Mountains, gorges, oases and, on most tours, the Sahara.

The Sahara desert
Where do we sleep in the desert?
In a camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga, run by our local team. Camps range from traditional Berber tents to comfortable tents with private bathrooms.
Is the camel ride difficult?
No. It is a gentle ride of about one hour, led on foot by a camel man. Children and older travellers do it every day. If you prefer, you can reach the camp by 4×4.
Is it cold in the desert at night?
From November to February nights can be very cold, sometimes near freezing, so bring a warm layer. Camps provide thick blankets. In summer, nights are warm.
Travelling in Morocco
When is the best time for a week in Morocco?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal everywhere. Winter is sunny but cold at night in the desert, and summer is very hot in the Sahara.
Is Morocco safe for travellers?
Morocco is a popular and welcoming destination for travellers. Your driver and local guides are with you throughout the trip and help you with anything you need.
Do I need a visa?
Many nationalities, including most European, British, American and Canadian travellers, do not need a visa for a short tourist stay. Please check the rules for your passport before travelling.
What should I wear?
Light, loose clothes that cover shoulders and knees, comfortable shoes, a warm layer for the mountains and the desert night, and long trousers for the camel ride.
