Private Desert Tour
The price of the private tour depends on the number of travelers, the travel season, and your choice of accommodation. Prices start from 350€ per person for groups and families, and up to 525€ per person for couples looking for a more private and romantic experience.
Small Group Desert Tour
The shared small group tour costs 350€ per person. While this may seem higher than some offers on the market, our groups are limited to a maximum of 8 people and require only 4 participants to run. The small group size gives you a more comfortable and flexible experience, similar to a private tour, with the same quality of hotels, camps, and driver service.
The Price Includes:
- Air-conditioned 4×4 or minivan (depending on group size)
- Fuel
- English / French / Spanish-speaking driver
- Pick-up and drop-off at your Marrakech & Fes accommodations
- Overnight stay in Dades Gorges or Skoura in a comfortable traditional hotel (upgrade available on private tours)

1. What’s the difference between a private and a shared tour?
The main difference is the vehicle. In a shared tour, you only share the transportation. Your room and tent stay private, and you can also eat separately if you prefer.
Another difference is that private tours are always guaranteed — once you book, the tour is confirmed.
Shared tours depend on demand and need at least 4 people. If the minimum is not reached, you can choose a free cancellation or continue as a private tour with a special price.
2. Is vegetarian or vegan food available?
Yes, we can prepare vegetarian or vegan meals. Just tell us during the booking, and remind your driver during the tour.
3. Can I reach the camp without riding a camel?
Yes, you can. The camp has a 4×4 car that transports luggage and guests who don’t want to ride camels, or who prefer to ride only once.
If you booked a private tour, your 4×4 vehicle can take you directly to the camp if needed.
4. Does the camp have private bathrooms?
Yes. Our camp is a luxury camp, and all tents have private bathrooms and showers. We include this in our basic packages without a big extra cost.
5. Can I bring my luggage on the tour?
Yes, you can bring your luggage. Our vehicles have plenty of space for large suitcases. Your luggage stays with you at all times, and in the desert, a 4×4 car will take it safely to your tent at the camp.
How to Pay for the Tour:
To confirm your tour or activity, we require a small deposit paid through PayPal to our group coordinator. The remaining balance is paid in cash at pick-up, directly to your driver, in euros or the equivalent amount in dirhams.
Credit Cards:
We do not accept credit card payments. Credit cards are not very practical in Morocco, and they come with high fees and some security risks.
Paying the Total Amount with PayPal:
We usually request the balance in cash because PayPal has high transaction fees and delays for international transfers. In some cases, we can accept full payment by PayPal, but a 5% fee will be added to cover extra charges. If you prefer this option, please arrange it with us before the tour date.
