Morocco is the quintessential African country which delights young European tourists. We are aware of both its dynamism, and the opportunities and cultural differences which it provides to its travellers. The touristic possibilities are endless and tours around Morocco: visits to unique cities, World Heritage Sites, deserts, bazaars and much, much more.
Due to this and with the difficulty of organising a trip to an African country from Spain, we feel morally obliged to make a series of tours available, which are completely adapted and flexible to you. If you intend to go on a more specific and concrete trip, it will be ensured that your trip completely complies with all of your needs. Please take a look at our tours around Morocco, which we consecutively offer, and are organised how many days they are.
From Marrakesh to Zagora
In this two day tour around Morocco, you will begin by visiting the Alto Atas Tzi Tichka (2260m), an old mule trail which was converted by the French into a road, which holds the record of being the highest unpaved road in the North of Africa. From there, you will cross the Southern side of the Atlas, which is unmistakably different to Europe due to its vegetation.
From there, you will stop off at Ait Ben Haddou, where you will visit the town of Kasbah, a World Heritage Site. You will cross the port of Ait Saoun, with its impressive view of canyons, as well as Agdez and the Draâ valley, from where you will reach Zagora.
In Zagora, you will live an unforgettable experience, as you will have the opportunity to ride on camelback through the desert. To finish the day, you will sleep in a Haima, where you can enjoy the stars and the constellations which nature provides. It will be like nothing you have ever seen before.
On the second day, you will return to Marrakesh by camel. You will have breakfast and start your visit to Ouarzazate, famous for the Kasbah Teloulet and its study of cinema. Your journey will finish in Marrakesh where you will visit the Medina, a bazaar and the Bahia palace.

3 days travelling between Marrakesh and the desert
You don’t want to be left feeling limited with your travelling options even though you don’t have much time? If so, the 3 day trip to Morocco is the option for you. In order to have some basic notions of Morocco and to do its wonders justice, you will visit the Atlas Mountains, travelling through one of the highest roads in the North of Africa until you reach the Tizin’ Tichka and a Kasbah, which are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. You will be able to visit the Dadès Gorge and the Skava palm grove, a well-deserved and calming visit which will pleasantly surprise you by its retreats, small villages, orchards and its hidden olive groves located under the palm trees. You will discover the silhouettes of the old buildings, where you will let yourself be seduced by its intricate design.
On the second day, you will visit a new mountainous region, which is considered the paradise of African mountaineers: Todra Gorge, where the bed of the river Todra has formed a pass of enormous, vertical and proportional walls of great beauty. And, of course, you cannot stay without visiting the desert!
Before reaching the dunes of Merzouga, you will pass through Erfoud, which is named ‘the Gate of the Sahara Desert’. Once in Merzouga, you will climb onto the back of a camel towards the Haimas.
On the third day, you will be allowed to go and visit Marrakech by camel. You will have breakfast in Ouarzazate, go to the Draâ valley and you will have the opportunity to enjoy a natural Oasis.

Would you like an even longer trip around Morocco? Our option of 4 days and 3 nights will offer you a tour similar to the previously explained tours, but you will see much more of the desert. It will be an unforgettable experience to be able to wake up in the middle of the desert, and to witness the rising of the sun from the Great Dunes. You will spend more time in the picturesque town of Merzouga and in Marrakech. In addition to this, the tour includes a visit to Ouarzazate, to see its Kasbah and to appreciate its study of cinema. The rest of the route will be the same as the previous tours.
