Frequently Asked Questions

Is the guided city tour on Day 5 private or a group tour?

To ensure a high-end experience, the Marrakech city tour is 100% private. You will have a dedicated local expert who will guide you through the Bahia Palace and the Souks at your own pace. If there are specific spots you want to see like a certain artisan workshop or a hidden café your guide can customize the route for you.

Day 4 is our longest driving day (approx. 560 KM), but we’ve turned it into a “scenic grand traverse.” Instead of retracing our steps, we take a different route through the Draa Valley, Morocco’s longest palm oasis, and the volcanic peaks of the Anti-Atlas. We break the journey with several high-value photo stops and a lunch break in Ouarzazate to keep the pace comfortable.

Of course! If you are not keen on riding camels, we have covered you with an alternative. You can relax in the comfort of a 4×4 vehicle a
no extra cost, and we will transport you to the camp hassle-free. Your satisfaction is our priority!
