Our 12 Days Desert Journey From Marrakech follows the coastline to the charming city of Essaouira. The Merzouga camel trekking path will pass through deserted sand beaches, jagged cliff tops, the Argan tree, and genuine fishing villages. But, our journey will conclude with leisurely free time in Chefchaouen and the fabled city of Marrakech.
The 12 Days Desert Trip From Marrakech travels along the coast to the lovely city of Essaouira. Your Merzouga camel trekking route will take you past abandoned sandy beaches, craggy cliff tops, the Argan tree, and actual fishing settlements.
As a constant attendant, you will experience the majestic sea views and the roar of the thunderous Atlantic waves. One of our most knowledgeable and skilled local guides leads the camel trekking tour in the Erg Chebbi dunes (Merzouga), assisted by the camp and kitchen teams. We’ll have a camel convoy transport our luggage.
However, the end of our adventure will include relaxing free time in both Chefchaouen and the legendary city of Marrakech.
Spend time in souks (traditional markets), which provide a variety of things for sale, including handwoven crafts and regional specialties. Stay in Moroccan riads or old-style homes.
When you arrive at the airport, we will meet you and drive you to your hotel or riad.

Yes! The tours our company offers are all completely private. This will allow experience Morocco the way YOU want to. In addition to that, you will of course be always welcome to request stops along the way during the tours, in order to take memorable photographs (or whatever other reason you want!).
In case you are interested in booking a group desert tour, please go ahead and contact us so as to make a suitable group tour for you.
Depending on the sort of accommodations you need or the alterations you would want to make to your personalized trip, we are completely adaptable. However, if any modifications are made at least two weeks before your trip with us, please inform us.
Actually, it could be quite the opposite. Our team makes sure to select the best quality accommodations for our clients, and those tend to get booked full pretty quickly, that’s why it’s not always easy for us to accommodate last-minute bookings.
Therefore, you shouldn’t expect a lower price for such inquiries, but instead a higher one maybe. To avoid such incidents, we strongly advise you to book your tour with us early on, so that we will be able to pick out the best accommodations for you and offer you an unforgettable Morocco experience.
Morocco’s economy is heavily reliant on tourism to meet its financial needs. To put it another way, the Moroccan government wants tourists to feel comfortable and secure while spending their holiday and money in the country.
As a result, it devotes a significant amount of resources, particularly human resources, to ensure that all tourists are secure while in Morocco; this includes tourist police and highly qualified guides who have been accredited by the government after undergoing training.
In terms of extremism and crime rates, we can state that the occurrence of such crimes is similar to that of many European countries, as evidenced by several statistics: low and uncommon.
You could enjoy traveling on your own once you’ve learned your way around and been acquainted with the local culture. You’ll be OK as long as you’re comfortable with it and stay away from the shady areas.
It will also allow you to save some money. However, some destinations require the assistance of a professional guide; you will most likely realize this once you are in such a location, particularly that outside of towns, such as the desert, where you will need a guide to assist you with camels and other items.
We’ll ask you for a deposit to secure your tour with Let’s Visit Morocco once we’ve confirmed an itinerary that works for you/your group (tours shown on our website can be changed based on your needs). We ask that you pay the remaining balance of your trip reservation at the beginning of your tour in Morocco.
