Morocco Small Group Tours

All desert camps we use on our Signature Morocco tours is a permanent tented camp. We offer different kinds of private tents for each individual, couple, or group depending on your choice. Between these tents is an open communal space with Moroccan carpets and tables where the group eats their meals. There are flush toilets and a shower on-site and a hose for washing. 

You won’t need a sleeping bag on our Morocco desert tours as for the most part you’ll be staying in 3-4 star hotels and our desert camp provides all the bedding you need including pillows and blankets.

The camel trek takes about an hour and a half. Also, we can transfer you by our 4WD from and to the camp. If you prefer to walk then you can walk alongside our camel caravan but bear in mind that walking in the sand can be tiring.

On all our desert tours you will be staying in a mix of 4-star modern hotels and traditional Moroccan riads. This gives you a chance to experience the local hospitality and stay in accommodation that reflects the character of Morocco. On our Adventure range of tours in Morocco, the standard of accommodation is equivalent to a Western 3 star.

We use comfortable, 4WD or modern mini-vans with air-conditioning and good-sized windows through which to enjoy the passing views. There is a fair distance to cover in Morocco, especially if you want to see the main highlights. To reach the Sahara the drive time is around 6 to 8 hours, followed by a camel trek to get deep into the surrounding Erg Chebbi dunes.

The longest day of travel is the journey between Marrakech and Erg Chebbi if you didn’t spend one more night in the Dades valley. It’s a full day of driving but thankfully it’s a wonderfully scenic drive with a stop at the lovely alpine-style town of Ifrane located in the High Atlas Mountains.

On our Signature tours, you’ll have the opportunity to wander around what is described as the ‘Switzerland of Morocco’. Most other journeys are far shorter and the majority of your days will be spent out and about sightseeing.

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit Morocco. At these times of the year, you can expect pleasant temperatures and plenty of sunshine.

The landscape is particularly lovely in spring when it’s green and lush while autumn provides the best weather conditions for trekking.

Vegetables feature prominently in Moroccan cuisine so vegetarians should have no issues.

The average group size on our Morocco desert tours is between 2-8 travelers depending on the number of reservations at the same date for the same itinerary. As with all of our destinations, you can expect a real mix of ages ranging from those in their 20s to those in their 70s.
