2 Day Marrakech To Erg Lihoudi Desert Camp Tour
2 Day Marrakech To Erg Lihoudi Desert Camp Tour
Marrakesh, Morocco
Overview
This private all-inclusive tour is suited to travellers determined not to leave Morocco without visiting the Sahara or who decide at the last minute to incorporate a stay in the Desert. It offers you a fast-paced two full days of travel traversing the High Atlas Mountains and arguably a road trip of a lifetime while rocking the Kasbahs on route to the Desert.
Description
Our fastpaced ‘Saharan Dune Express’ offers you a packed two full days road trip to the Saharan south and fleeting insights into the traditional rural culture and lifestyles of local communities in the mountains, oases and Desert region. You experience unique landscapes changing almost by the hour which avoids any question of ‘are we there yet?’
That said, we feel a two-day tour travelling such long distances does not ‘do’ the unique sights and experiences on offer justice, you will find it to be a long and tiring journey, however, we feel obliged to offer the tour due to its popularity. We do understand the push of desire to visit the Moroccan Sahara and to experience a camel ride in the Desert and at Desert Camp despite time restraints.
To improve upon the experience in a limited time frame, we have always opted to visit the Erg Lihoudi dune sets just beyond our hometown of Zagora which are the more impressive. The Desert area at Zagora, generally on offer to visitors, is in our opinion not worthy of a visit and overnight stay.
Atmospheric camps, fun and adventure and a journey into dramatic landscapes and lifestyles unlike any other, await you on this considered Saharan tour.

JoVerified One ticked off the bucket list We were so happy with our private tour to the desert. Our driver Hassan collected us from our riad, which is apparently rare according to the staff as most have you meet them outside the Medina, and we settled into our very clean and comfortable Prado. Hassan was very knowledgeable about history and culture and gave us options for stops and visits. One of the highlights was a traditional lunch at a locals cafe. Accomodation was excellent and the scenery brilliant. Our tour was custom designed to drop us at our next destination at the end making it very easy. We can highly recommend Morocco Exclusive Tours. William CollierVerified Stunning 4days trip From the first email exchanges, MET provided me with clear and timely information. They helped us to decide on options for our 4-day Merzouga dunes trip from Marrakech to Fes. The riads selected were very good and the campsite an incredible experience! Everything was extremely well planned (all meals were included and the restaurants were very good!). The trip to the campsite on camels was very well planned and our sunset stop is a lifetime memory. We saw many places, we visited kasbahs, walked along gorges, even a one hour walk in a wonderful relaxing orchard! Our guide and driver, Hassan and Youssef, were absolutely fantastic! Very outgoing, correct and educated young men. Youssef took great care of us always making sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Hassan was the safest driver you could wish for. I won’t hesitate to recommend Morocco Exclusive Tours. Fernanda lupesVerified Incredible experience The booking process was super smooth, through the contact form on the website and then by exchanging with Youssef, who was very helpful and responsive. We managed to communicate everything in English.Hassan was a spectacular tour guide for our party of 4. We had such an amazing time. He was so friendly and had a good knowledge of the country, and worked hard to accomodate our every request. His driving was very smooth and comfortable. Our accomodation was awesome on the first night in the Dades Valley. On our next night in Merzouga, we rode camels at sunset then stayed at a fun desert camp. We messaged the tour company that night to do quad biking the next day, which they (Youssef) facilitated for us. This was an awesome add on and would highly recommend this.Everything met our expectations!! We totally recommend Morocco Exclusive Tours and definitely ask for Hassan. You won't regret it!! Thank you, Morocco Exclusive Tours, for making our trip fun, beautiful, and relaxing!!

Christian lamVerified Amaaazing experience I and my wife made the best decision to book a private tour with Morocco Exclusive Tours, Well worth the cost.Youssef was prompt, detailed, and ever-so-patient with my endless questions prior to booking. (Thank you so much!)But Hassan...what an excellent guide and driver! He was very knowledgeable about the desert regions, knew a lot of the people, and always knew the best places for food. He was also good at gauging when we wanted to talk .The ATV and camel riding in the desert, the rose city, and the spice shop were some of my favorites.We liked that we had options on sight-seeing and photo opportunities during the drive. They really take care of the details for each customer, taking the stress out of transportation and ensuring all the best sights were visited. The accommodations were also excellent. Best luxury tents in the desert. If we had to do this again, we would ask to stay in Skoura my final night. Seems exciting to stay in an oasis!Highly recommend this company and guide/driver. We truly appreciate his dedication and commitment to ensuring our trip was memorable and enjoyable. Thank you for the excellent service!I also recommend a 4-day tour at minimum to see the desert properly. moha kVerified Exceptionnel !!!!! Morocco Exclusive Tours organized a customized round trip through Morocco for us making sure to stop at all the sights we wanted to visit. The communication with Youssef was perfect and she always replied immediately whenever we had a question. And we couldn’t have been luckier with Hassan as our driver! He is a knowledgeable, kind, respectful and save driver who always made sure that we are comfortable. Thank you to the whole team for making this trip an extraordinary experience. Jonathan bamVerified INCREDIBLE TRIP !!! This was a wonderful experience for us that we will never forget. A special thnaks to Youssef, Morocco Exclusive Tours manager, who organized this wonderful three days for us, and in those three days we saw everything we wanted and much more.We drove through the high Atlas mountains, visited Ait Ben Haddou, Rissani, Efroud, the Azrou forest with adorable monkeys, the wonderful Telouet and Amridil kasbahs, saw beautiful landscapes, enjoyed the Erg Chebbi dunes.From the beginning, everything was wonderfully organized, the accommodations we stayed in were excellent and the kind you would have chosen yourself, the food was very tasty.Our guide/driver Hassan was a wonderful person, professional, patient, always ready to help and answered all our questions.In those three days we spent with him, he became a dear friend and a person we will always remember fondly.Thank you so much Morocco Exclusive Tours for all the wonderful moments and we hope that we will have the opportunity to make another wonderful tour for us again. Susy IVerified Safe even for a solo woman traveler! Would highly recommend this private tour of Morocco. 10/10! Where do I even begin? For my birthday I booked a ten-day Morocco exclusive tour. Best decision and I’m so glad I didn’t book with anyone else! I am a total planner when it comes to my travels. Thank you for taking that huge task off of my shoulders and making it the best tour for exactly what I wanted to see in only 10 days! Literally everything is catered around your tastes so the more specific you get with them the better the experience. You don’t have to worry about anything, accommodation, FOOD, transportation (my driver was amazing I could sleep with how smooth he drives)! Total peace of mind! We hit everything on my special list that I wanted to see and more. You guys truly made me feel so special going above and beyond, thank you again for making this birthday trip one I will always remember. P.S. I recommend bringing cash with you and exchanging it once you land to avoid CC fees. Cash for tipping which you will gladly want to do, Moroccan ppl are so helpful and of course, cash for shopping! There is a lot of shopping to be done but some don’t accept cards- even some local restaurants. 💕 Alondra RVerified The best trips in Morocco I went on a trip to Morocco with Morocco Exclusive Tours on Junuary 2023. It was an unforgettable experience! Our tour leader, Youssef, was knowledgeable, professional, organized, and friendly. He also secured excellent local tour guides for us in each destination. Our driver, Hassan, was careful, professional, and friendly. The accommodations were excellent; the riads were especially beautiful. The food was delicious. The trip itinerary was thorough, and the included activities were informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend this Travel Agency and might even take it again in the future. ElenVerified AMAZING 4 DAYS MARRAKECH DESERT TRIP I booked a private trip for me and my girlfriend to the Atlas mountains and the desert and it was awesome !Our driver and guide Moha made this an unforgettable trip.
