Trip overview
This itinerary takes the eight-day route one step further: arriving in Marrakech is not the end of the trip but the start of its final chapter. You have a full day with a local guide to explore the medina, its palaces and its souks, and on day ten we take you to the airport.
Before that, the route leaves nothing out: the blue of Chefchaouen, the African Rome of Volubilis, Meknes, Fez, the cedars of the Middle Atlas, two days in the Merzouga desert, the Todra and Dades Gorges, Ouarzazate and Ait Benhaddou.
Ideal for: those who want a complete north-to-south trip with a return flight from Marrakech and everything taken care of, down to the last transfer.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a private tour or a group tour?
It is completely private: the vehicle, the driver and the itinerary are just for you and your companions. You will not share the trip with strangers, so we can stop wherever you like and adapt the timings.
Can I change the itinerary of “10 days from Tangier to Marrakech”?
Yes. What you see is our standard proposal. We can add a night, change the start or end point, include a guided visit or adjust the stages to your flights. Tell us what you need and we will send you a tailor-made version.
What is the difference between the standard and the luxury camp?
In both you have a private tent, dinner, breakfast and an evening of drums by the campfire. The luxury camp adds a private bathroom with shower inside the tent and more refined décor; in the standard camp bathrooms are shared and you shower in the morning at the hotel in the village.
How long is the camel trek?
About an hour and a half each way, at a gentle pace and accompanied by a camel handler. We set off a couple of hours before sunset to arrive in good light. If anyone cannot or would rather not ride, let us know and we will find an alternative.
How do I book and how do I pay?
Send us the form or write to us and we will confirm availability and the final price within 24 hours. We accept online payment (Visa, MasterCard and PayPal), as well as cash or card in person.
When is the best time of year for this tour?
You can travel all year round. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) have the mildest temperatures. In winter the days are sunny but desert nights are cold, and in summer it is best to start early and make the most of the vehicle’s air conditioning.
