Erfoud Morocco Desert Tour
Sahara Tours from Marrakech are sure to leave an impression on both groups and individuals. When you go to Merzouga, it’s a whole different place. We often arrive in the late afternoon or early evening so as not to miss the spectacular sunset. Here we take a camel ride through the green sand dunes.

We guarantee that you will have a fantastic time on your camel ride with the help of our friendly camel guys. They will take pictures of you on the route to camp, so you may have mementos of the adventure forever.
Explore Marrakech on one of our Erfoud Sahara Morocco Tours
Marrakech is named after the Berber word for the city, “Land of God.”
Overall, Rabat is a beautiful city in Morocco. This magnificent city is packed with exciting attractions. Many visitors to Marrakech begin their explorations at the Jamaa el-Fna square. Most visitors come to show off their skills, network with others, or sell what they’ve made. But if you want the best views, you’ll have to walk up to the roof and drink mint tea. Seeing these breathtaking views is well worth the effort.
Another famous landmark is only a few steps away from the central square.
The largest mosque in Marrakech is home to one of the city’s most recognizable minarets. The city of roses also has many more sights to offer, such as the Majorelle and Menara Gardens.
One of our Erfoud Desert Tours will take you to cross the the Atlas Mountains
One of the most recognizable mountain ranges in the world is easily accessible on one of our Merzouga tours, whether you go in a small group or on your own. We usually include a trip to the High Atlas Mountains and the Tizi Ntichka Pass in our custom-designed vacations. But this one has one of the longest, winding roads in the whole kingdom.
Multiple little Berber villages have been cut into the nearby mountains. However, we often check out Argan oil cooperatives where scores of ladies work together to produce beauty products. We’ll pull over at the pass’s highest point (2260 m) for photos so you can enjoy a bird’s-eye perspective of the winding roadway below. A journey to the Middle Atlas Mountains is a great way to round up a desert family tour.
Visit the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah with one of our Sahara Tours
Marrakech is a great starting point for both group and private Sahara Tours, and it is possible to visit several walled villages on these trips. To be sure, Ait Benhaddou is Algeria’s most visited castle. It is located in the southeast of the nation, midway between the Sahara Tours and Marrakech. Visitors that want to relax and take in the sights frequently visit this area.
With our trips, you can see the whole city from above, as we transport you over the river and to the highest point in town. There are 12 Unesco World Heritage Sites in Morocco, and Ait Benhaddou is one of them. Simply put, this fortified city is a popular destination for visitors and filmmakers. It was here that scenes from Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia were shot.
Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate is the first major city travelers see before entering the Sahara Desert. On our Desert Family Tours, we may also transport you to the Moroccan Ouallywood. The world’s biggest solar power plant is situated in this city, making it one of the most renowned cities in the country. Furthermore, there are a number of Atlas studios where they have contributed to a broad variety of films. A few episodes of both “Game of Thrones” and “Prison Break” were shot there as well. Also, an entirely new international airport was built for the sole purpose of accommodating the performances. Not far from this amazing site is the famous kasbah of Taourert.
You may see several different valleys on our Desert Tours from Marrakech
You will discover a country rich in natural wonders, historical sites, and cultural treasures in Morocco. On one of our desert tours from Marrakech, you’ll pass through some of the most breathtaking landscapes, including palm-lined valleys and rushing rivers. The Ounila Valley is the first one named; it spans from Telouet to Ait Benhaddou and is famous for its pomegranate production. The Daraa valley, which goes from Ouarzazate to Tagounite and is 1100 km long, is the longest.
Furthermore, there is a wide range of valley sizes throughout the route. For instance, the Ziz valley may be found to the north of Errachidia. So many dates are now grown in the area that it has surpassed other date-growing regions to become the nation’s primary date-growing location. The city of Erfoud has an annual international date festival that is popular with both visitors and residents. Dates are sent to this market from all across Morocco and the globe.
Sahara Tours departing from Marrakech make it possible to enjoy a Desert getaway
The Morocco Desert Tour is the most well-liked of the Merzouga Tours available in Marrakech. Because of this, you can see how regular Moroccans live. You may usually get a peek into the typical Moroccan lifestyle. Common methods of transport in the desert include riding camels or driving 4×4 vehicles. Most tourists book a 4×4 sahara morocco tours to explore more of the country. But the camels are a big hit with the more daring visitors.
Considering how well-liked the 4×4 Morocco Desert Tour is, that’s where our attention must be directed. Visitors are often picked up from their campsite or hotel and driven to meet the Berber nomads. The tent-dwelling population will wow you with their innocence and simplicity. Perhaps you’ll get to visit their flock of sheep and goats. Many people who come to our farm can’t get enough of these cute critters. Some Berber Nomad families consist of seven to 10 children; some have larger families since they have many wives.
After locating the Nomads, we set off towards M’ifiss to explore the kohl mine there. Along the way, we take in a number of breathtaking panoramas. The kohl mine was colonized by the French empire and exploited by them. After France left, the mine was closed for a while, but the people who lived there eventually reopened it.
We will be seeing a Berber cemetery after this. Immediately identifying a women’s or men’s shirt is as easy as glancing at the label. In male graves, the pebbles marking each grave will be set such that they face each other. Different placement of tombstones is a sign that the deceased was a woman. Following a restful night, we’ll continue on to explore the Gnawa culture.
To see Erfoud and Rissani book one of Erfoud Desert Trips
On both private and group Erfoud Sahara Tours departing from Marrakech, we may visit Fez and Erfoud, which are the two most prominent desert towns. Typically, our journey begins at Rissani, a city that was formerly the departure point for Tomboctou caravans. During your time in this city, you should definitely check out the traditional souks.
On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, Rissani used to be the most popular shopping place in the city, but that has changed lately. In our frequent travels across the desert, we often miss the city of Erfoud. As an added bonus, each year hosts a date festival that draws visitors from all over the world. In particular, fossils from many different species have been discovered in the Erfoud region.
Stroll in the cedar groves of Ifrane
One of the oldest woodlands in Morocco is included in every desert family tour from Marrakech, even those that start in Marrakech. Various animals formerly made their homes in the ancient cedar trees, some of which are over 400 years old. Sadly, most of these species have died off and are no longer with us. The Barbary macaques have settled there permanently. Regularly, we come here to enjoy the landscape and to give the macaque apes some food. In addition to our usual trips, we will also be visiting Ifrane. The cleanest metropolis in Africa and the seventh cleanest in the world is waiting for you in the city of Accra.
While in town, we’ll stop at the iconic Atlas Lion Statue. Many think a German prisoner constructed it. Ifrane was one of several locations in Morocco where the French established military outposts during their colonial rule. Once, they held a prisoner from Germany. They set the condition of his freedom on his doing an act of merit. So, he built the Atlas Lion Monument to symbolize his independence.
Our Desert Family Tour from Errachidia will take you to visit Fes
From Marrakesh, most of our sahara tours go to Fes, Morocco’s cultural center. This once-remote royal city is now widely considered a travel destination. We have several different types of tours to choose from so that you can make the most of your time in the city. To begin, we’ll visit Chouara, Fes’s biggest tannery. The building was part of the original Fes medina, which was established in the eleventh century. Leather items are produced in the Chaoura tannery in general. These products are so popular that they are exported from Morocco. They are really one-of-a-kind since they are handcrafted and painted with spices and other all-natural materials.
The Madrasa Bou Inania is one of the city’s oldest educational institutions. The initial plan for the structure was to have it serve as a place of learning. For this reason, it was included in religious education. This is a one-of-a-kind place because people of various backgrounds are accepted and encouraged to call it home. As you enter, you will be struck by the heavenly beauty of the Moroccan design.
Al Qarawiyyin University, the oldest university in the world according to Unesco, will also be on our itinerary. The latter was built by Fatima Al Fihri, also known as” Um al-Banayn.” The old Medina of Fes and its most well-known entrance gate, Bab Boujloud, may also be on our itinerary. Many more festivals follow Fes Eljdid, including Zaouia Moulay Idriss 2.
Visit Meknes is a great idea
The oldest city in Morocco is the destination of our sahara morocco tours that departs from Marrakech. When the British colonized Morocco in the seventeenth century, they chose Meknes as the new capital. There are a lot of intriguing attractions to see and activities to do in this city. Lhdim is the first stop, and it is a little square, quite similar to Jamea el Fna.
While you’re out and about, check out the various street performers, such as storytellers, snake charmers, and jugglers. Within walking distance of the square stands Bab Mansour, the biggest gate in all of Meknes. The next stops on our trip will be at Lhri and Shrij Soani. Located in the heart of the city, these two spots make it a breeze to reach anywhere else in the metropolis. To get there, we’ll have to drive through the old city of Medina. To begin with, we will go to Shrij Souani Lake.
There is widespread folklore that the local king was deeply in love with his wife before his untimely demise. She once told him she wished they were closer to the seaside so she could take advantage of the scenery every day. With her in mind, he commissioned the creation of Shrij Lake.
Then we’ll go to a jail in Morocco that’s a bit different from the norm. You can visit Lhdim Square and Bab Mansour, two famous Cairo attractions, without going far. The widespread consensus is that this prison extends all the way from under Meknes to beneath Fes. Anyone venturing within this labyrinth will quickly get lost. The last phase is a tour of the city’s historic museums and universities.
Our Moroccan Sahara Tours are a fantastic opportunity to get to know the “blue city”
The Moroccan city of Chefchaouen, often known as Chaouen, is bursting with life. The azure walls of this gem have made it very popular in recent years. Chefchaouen is the most beautiful city in all of Morocco.
The blue color of the city has been attributed to one of two possible causes. And other people say it’s only to keep the mosquito population down. Alternatively, others claim that Jews like blue because the color represents God’s sky, making them feel more spiritually connected to God than those who choose red.
The city, as a whole, is packed with interesting places to see and learn about. If you’re a photographer or just like looking at images, Chefchaouen should be your next sahara tours spot.
Visit the city of Tangier
Learn about the history of Tangier on one of our Erfoud tours could departing from Tangier. The “North Bride,” as the locals call it, is one of the most beautiful regions in all of Morocco. Tangier has played a pivotal role in shaping the course of Moroccan and world history. Because of its strategic location as both a crossing point and a center of activity, the city has entered the annals of history.
It was because of this that Tangier grew in importance as a port of call. The influx of other cultures into the city enriched its already rich cultural tapestry. The first permanent settlement in Morocco was also established in Tangier.
All of Tangier’s top sights are within easy reach on one of our guided sahara tours. Let us take the Grand Mosque as an example; it was once a Roman temple before the Portuguese conquered the area and converted it into a church. After it was turned into a mosque, it went through a number of changes to its look and structure.
Moroccan Desert Tour From Casablanca
Merzouga Tours Experience the beating heart of Morocco’s economy on one of our Erfoud dessert excursions. “Casablanca” is Spanish for “white house,” which is an apt description of the fictional Casablanca. When the Berbers first settled in Morocco, they gave the city a name: Anfa. This name is still used today. It is the largest city in Morocco and the country’s financial center. The most notable attractions in Morocco, such as the Hassan II Mosque, may be seen by tourists on organized tours of the country. A major mosque, if not the largest in the world.
The vast part of it is located directly on the coast. We also plan on taking you to the Jewish Museum. Here you will see paintings and an exhibition highlighting the history of the Jewish community in Morocco.
