12 Days Desert Trip From Marrakech

WHY BOOKING this 12 Days Desert Trip From Marrakech?

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.

Overview:

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.

Marrakech to desert trip The tour exceeded expectations and was great! Our driver, Youssef, is a helpful guide. It gives a real lesson in geography and local history. He showed us the Atlas Mountains and then we rode camels across the sparkling sands of the Sahara at sunset. Ah, the camp was luxuriously lovely. My family and I recommend this tour and company. We are grateful to Youssef for making our experience wonderful and stress-free.

A trip to remember My mother and I have had the best experience in our whole life. Other friends of us had recommended Hassan from Let’s Visit Morocco travel from their last travel to Morocco and they were right as we had a lifetime experience with him and the company he works for, they organised the whole trip from the pick up and drop off in Casablanca, we really have been taken care of and we were in safe hands throughout the tour. If you are considering visiting Morocco anytime soon, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Let’s Visit Morocco company and choose Hassan as your guide! Thank you for everything, and see you soon!

Memorable and Adventurous Custom Trip This was my third trip to Morocco for a length of two weeks. I was accompanied by Hassan from Lets Visit Morocco. We were flexible in the itinerary, which is very important to me, and travelled safely. Hassan was very familiar with the desert regions and knows the popular spots and cute riads to stay at. His agency is well connected in all parts that I visited, and there was always a contact to help! His English was proficient, which makes a difference if you want to have more understanding of all the cultural experiences. I felt safe and well cared for. Data is incredibly cheap to get, I would recommend getting data loaded to your local SIM right away if you are not on Roaming, for an extra layer of caution even if you don't plan to stray away. We managed to fit a lot into the two weeks, got some incredible photos, and ate very well! I would recommend to travel with them in a heartbeat - they contributed greatly to the experience. Thank you very much Hassan!

PERSONAS INCREÍBLES EN UN PAIS MARAVILLOSO Viaje apasionante, dirigido por personas maravillosas, no tengo espacio suficiente para describirlo todo, y para agradecerle a Hassan, el trato recibido, la organización, el equipo, y todo lo vivido gracias a su implicación para que todo fuera perfecto, gracias por su sonrisa interminable. Lo recomiendo para todo el mundo, y para todas las edades. Algunos se llevan arena en botellas para recordar el desierto, yo me llevo el desierto y a su gente en mi corazón para siempre. Ciudades increíbles, con lugares preciosos de encanto inigualable. En cuanto pueda volveré. Millones de gracias Hassan.

Note:

Please If the itineraries we offer do not meet your needs, please contact us. and tell us about your ideas, and one of our experts will contact you to help you create a one-of-a-kind trip…

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.
