Must-Visit Destinations on Desert Tours from Marrakech
Discover Morocco’s most captivating destinations on your desert tours from Marrakech. Each place has its own special story and culture, from old mud castles to wide, sandy deserts:
Marrakech to Ouarzazate is a desert trip that takes you to the famous "Gateway to the Sahara."
Unlike the modern city of Casablanca, Ouarzazate feels like stepping into another world. Here, old castles stand next to movie studios in the desert.
In the middle of this amazing city is Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
This old fortress has been in many famous movies. You can visit the old Taourirt Kasbah, which shows how important this area was for traders long ago.
Movie fans will love Atlas Studios, where big hits like "Gladiator" and "Game of Thrones" were made.
When you look around, you'll see beautiful views of the Atlas Mountains and Draa Valley that will amaze you.
Near the edge of the Sahara sits Ait Benhaddou, a special site protected by UNESCO that shows off Morocco's old building style.
It's about 19 miles from Ouarzazate and is a must-see stop for people traveling from Marrakech to Fes through the High Atlas Mountains.
The village has many buildings made of mud bricks called kasbahs.
These buildings are so unique that movies like "Gladiator" and "Game of Thrones" were filmed here. Visitors can learn about the Berber people who live here and walk through their old homes.
When you walk to the top of the fortress, you can see for miles around. The view gives you a peek at the huge sand dunes that you'll find deeper in the Sahara desert.
The iconic metropolis of Casablanca serves as a compelling stop on luxury desert tours from Marrakech, blending modern sophistication with timeless Moroccan charm.
While it's not directly on the path to the Draa Valley, many travelers choose to include this cosmopolitan city in their extended desert itineraries.
You'll find the best time to visit Casablanca is during spring or fall, when you can comfortably explore its attractions before heading toward traditional Berber villages and desert landscapes.
The city offers a striking contrast to the remote destinations you'll encounter on tours from Marrakech, with its art deco architecture and bustling medina providing unique photo opportunities.
The Hassan II Mosque, one of the world's largest, stands as a magnificent farewell point before you venture into Morocco's golden dunes.
Merzouga is a small village next to the huge Erg Chebbi sand dunes, which reach up to 150 meters tall. When you visit this desert gateway, you can learn about the Berber people's way of life and enjoy their friendly welcome.
Near the village, you can see the Dayet Srji salt lake where many birds stop during their long flights. At night, the sky is very dark and clear, perfect for seeing thousands of stars.
You can try fun activities like sliding down sand dunes on boards or riding four-wheelers in the desert. You can also watch local people perform their traditional music and dances.
Everything you do in Merzouga helps you understand what it's like to live in the desert.
Along Morocco's Atlantic coast, the enchanting city of Essaouira beckons travelers with its UNESCO-protected medina and rich maritime heritage.
When you're planning tours from Marrakech, this coastal gem offers a refreshing contrast to desert landscapes. You'll discover a fascinating blend of Berber, Arab, and Portuguese influences reflected in the city's architecture and culture.
For adventure seekers, Essaouira's famous winds create perfect conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
As you explore the vibrant souks, you'll find an array of locally crafted products, from intricate wood carvings to pure argan oil and handwoven textiles.
The historic ramparts and bustling fishing port provide spectacular photo opportunities and insights into Morocco's seafaring past, making Essaouira an essential stop on your luxury desert journey.

ShamikNPriya2024-12-27Verified Amazing trip We had a 8 day tour with Sir Tours. Ali was our driver and guide and he is really amazing. Speaks perfect English and is knowledgeable about the history of Morocco and all the tourist sites. He went out of his way to show us little things - an orange orchard with the farmer selling probably the best oranges we have ever had, a local olive press at a village etc. His restaurant recommendations were spot on. We feel ill during the trip and he accompanied us to the pharmacy and helped us get the right medicines and translate our words to converse with the pharmacist.We really enjoyed our trip and would recommend Ali to anyone visiting Morocco. Salmane and Taoufiq were very organized and kind. With them you will never feel cheated or duped. They are all very genuine, honest and truly caring. They are a truly honest customer first company. And Ali is the best!!! Connie W2024-11-04Verified Great service We had a great experience with Sir Driver Tours. We needed to a transfer with our luggage and tour from Rabat to Casablanca, Younes quickly helped organise a tour to meet our needs and was very responsive to all our questions and requirements. Our driver Baligh was excellent, happy to take us anywhere we wanted and had great local knowledge. He continued to text us with recommendations after our tour. CDADenver2024-10-18Verified Best driver/guide experience Several months ago, we arranged for Sir Driver Tours to drive us from Marrakech to Fez, then on to Chefchaouen and lastly to Tangers. They fulfilled those duties and so much more. The driver they provided, Baligh, couldn’t have been better. He spoke excellent English and French and drove in a safe and efficient manner. He provided numerous suggestions to improve our trip, proactively called ahead to each lodging to make sure that we and our luggage were transferred in a stress-free manner and added points of interest that we didn’t know to request. Baligh significantly enhanced our trip and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sir Driver again. Klara F2024-10-17Verified Great memories made in Marocco We spent 10 days in Morocco. Our driver was Mohamed. He arranged our accommodations, lunches while on the tour.We found him to be very kind, friendly, knowledgeable and very accomodating.I am vegetarian, I was worried about my meals, but our guide made sure the restaurants, where we stopped at, had a meal for me.One day I've got sick, and he helped me find medicine at the pharmacy. Our tours and hotel stays were very memorable. We had plenty of opportunities to shop, he made good recommendations as well for good vendors.We enjoyed our stay, and highly recommend this company. 1abulaila2024-10-17Verified Excellent vacation Our driver Mohamed Ali was excellent ,knowledgeable and courteous.He accommodated us on stops and shopping with women owned businesses.Definitely recommend him. I had a special thanks for calling in advance to restaurant to serve vegetarian food for my wife.The tour ,food ,and the accommodations were excellent. lfut2024-10-12Verified Great driver and tour company. Mohammed was our private driver for 2 days. The Mercedes van was very comfortable. He was a safe driver and told us about the culture of Morocco during our trip. It was a long drive to Zagora but it was very interesting to see the traditional way of life in the villages. The desert camp was very comfortable and a fun experience. Mohammed took care of everything and even made sure we got checked in properly at our riad back in Marrakech. Highly recommended. Jim2024-05-28Verified A Magical Road Trip Sir Driver Tours arranged for a quality driver to follow the 13-day drive we independently planned and for knowledgeable guides in Meknes, Fez and Marrakesh. These two services worked seamlessly. Our driver Zoohair (pictured) would communicate with the guides and when necessary deliver us to the guide and pick us up afterwards. We arranged for these services with Younes who was professional and responsive. Zoohair also facilitated hiring guides at sites on our route. Younes and Zoohair managed every logistic and left us with the sole responsibility of enjoying our journey.Zoohair’s organizational and driving skills made every day a success. His outgoing personality and caring nature made traveling with him a pleasure. We easily established a rapport and quickly developed our inside jokes making the drives entertaining. Zoohair followed our itinerary and more by finding a viable way to include Chefchaouen, the one destination that I had with regret omitted. Because our itinerary allowed for it, Zoohair treated us to the scenic unpaved road through the Valley of the Roses and an impromptu visit and tea with a nomadic family living in caves. Watching how he spotted this encampment and orchestrated this encounter which included his instant friendship with the family’s young Mohammad seemed magical. If you made it this far, I wish you the same level of enjoyment as we experienced having Zoohair by our side. Sweetieangel2024-05-17Verified Book a tour today! Loved this trip, went from Marrakesh to Fez with a 3 day tour of the Sahara Desert! Moaud was our driver, highly recommend. Funny guy in good spirits. He treated us like family and kept our son entertained like he was his nephew. We made plenty of stops along the way so the trip didn’t feel arduous. Take time to stare at the stars in the desert, breathtaking for us. And take time to soak your feet in the water near the snake gorge. Moaud took tons of pics of us and helped make amazing family memories with this once in a lifetime experience.Tripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 96 reviews
