Morocco Sahara Desert Tours
3-Day Sahara Tour to Merzouga Erg Chebbi
Let’s kick things off with one of the most popular tours in Morocco. This Morocco Sahara desert tour takes you to the beautiful golden camp of Merzouga Erg Chebbi.
The stunning desert landscape is located in Morocco’s eastern Sahara. Famed for its massive sand dunes (which can reach a whopping 150 metres in height), the area is also home to a variety of wildlife and plants, making it a great place for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable journey into the desert or just want to take some incredible photos of the huge dunes, this isn’t just your run of the mill Sahara tour; it’s pretty special.
Desert and Mountain Tour with Camel Ride
Did you know that Morocco’s desert was once the source of the world’s gold? Or that camels were domesticated around 3,500 years ago?! You’ll learn all this and more on a thrilling Agafay Desert adventure.
One of the most incredible Morocco desert tours, this offering sees you enjoy a laid back camel ride through the sand-filled Moroccan landscape. Along the way, you’ll be treated to a ride through plenty of Berber villages, as well as the majestic Kik Plateau and Amizmiz Valley.
Oh, did we mention you also get to visit the Atlas Mountains? We couldn’t recommend this tour enough.
Overnight Sahara Tour to Zagora & Ait Benhaddou
Another of the best Morocco desert tours is this brilliant option to Zagora and Ait Ben Haddou. This incredible tour sees you spend the evening in a Zagora camp after passing through Ait Benhaddou and enjoying a camel ride in the Zagora desert.
And, if you don’t fancy spending the night in a traditional desert tent, there’s an option to do the tour as a day trip (it’s equally brilliant and a lot cheaper).
Quad Bike Tour Through the Desert
Fancy a thrill? Ditch the regular Morocco Sahara desert tours for something a little more exciting – like this quad biking experience.
The tour guide will pick you up in Marrakech and whisk you away to the Jbilets desert for an epic quad bike tour, blessing you with nuggets of knowledge along the way about the local area.
As well as this, you’ll also be taken to a nearby village where you can enjoy traditional Moroccan tea and admire the views of the Atlas Mountains.
Other Brilliant Morocco Tours

We’re not being dramatic when we say that Ouzoud Waterfalls is one of the most beautiful natural wonders in Morocco.

And heading out on a tour makes things ridiculously easy – you’ll be picked up from your hotel in Marrakech and transported directly to the falls, where a boat ride awaits.
Hot Air Balloon Over Marrakech
We’re sure you can already tell that Morocco has so much to offer for those seeking a unique adventure. But, what you might not know is that one of the best things to do in Morocco is to take a magical hot air balloon flight over Marrakech.
Sounds magical? It really is. From the sky, you’ll be able to take in the breathtaking views of this vibrant city and its surrounding areas. Soar up high and enjoy the stunning panoramas of Marrakech from a different perspective.
Zipline & Hike in the Atlas Mountains
Feeling brave? You’ll want to visit the Atlas Mountains in Morocco – they’re truly a paradise for outdoor adventurers. Whether you want to explore the valleys, trek up the peaks, or even zipline through the sky (yes, really), there’s no shortage of things to do in this breathtaking landscape.
From the highest peak of Jebel Toubkal to the picturesque gorges and valleys, these mountains provide a unique experience for hikers. With its diverse terrain and breathtaking views, it’s no wonder why this region is so popular among hikers from all around the world.

Mount Toubkal Trek
Mount Toubkal is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and a popular destination for travellers looking to explore the beauty of nature. With its stunning views and breathtaking landscapes, Mount Toubkal offers a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy.
From trekking and camping to rock climbing and mountain biking, there are plenty of things to do in the area – but the Mount Toubkal trek is, without a doubt, one of the best tours in Morocco. Whether you’re an experienced climber or a first-time hiker, this majestic mountain is sure to provide an unforgettable experience.
You’ve got the option between two or three day treks – we say opt for three if you’re less experienced, want to enjoy the beautiful environment, and are a little bit more worried about adjusting to the altitude. If you’re short on time and keen to summit as quickly as possible, the two day trek is better.
Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls from Tangier
Looking for the best Morocco tours? Look no further than this one that takes you to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls.
These two natural wonders offer stunning views and an unforgettable experience. You can admire the beauty of the cascading waterfalls as you hike up the mountain or take a boat ride down the river.
There are also plenty of activities to do in the area, such as fishing, swimming, and exploring nearby caves. If you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, you must visit Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls when in Morocco.
Morocco Tours: Practical Information
What’s the best Morocco tour?
If you want to see the Sahara desert, then we reckon the best Morocco tour is the 3-Day Sahara Tour to Merzouga Erg Chebbi. Otherwise, a Mount Toubkal trek is an epic experience.
How many days do you need to see Morocco?
We’ll be real with you guys, it totally depends on what you want to see and do during your trip. You could opt to do a 7-day whistle-stop tour of all the different sites, but that barely scratches the surface of Morocco. We recommend a two week trip if time and budget allows.
How much do tours cost in Morocco?
In general, Morocco is fairly inexpensive – and this applies to tours, too. While it depends on exactly which tours you would like to book, we recommend using Get Your Guide to find the best deals.
