5-Day Atlas Mountains & Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech

From Morocco’s High Atlas to its golden dunes

This five-day private journey brings together the most memorable landscapes of southern Morocco, with time to enjoy kasbah architecture, mountain roads, oasis valleys and the vast Erg Chebbi dunes. The proposed pace is more flexible than shorter desert excursions.
