Tour Plan
DAY1: Fes - Ifrane - Midelt - Ziz Valley - Merzouga Desert
Your private driver/guide will pick you up from your hotel or Riad in Fes at 7:30 AM. To make the most of the journey, we highly recommend an early departure to ensure you arrive in the Sahara Desert of Merzouga before sunset.
Our first stop, after crossing the nearby plains, will be the picturesque town of Ifrane, often referred to as the "Switzerland of Morocco" due to its charming Alpine-style architecture.
We will then take a scenic drive through the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, home to a colony of Barbary Macaques. After enjoying lunch near Midelt, we will continue our journey, crossing the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we’ll take a short break to capture the panoramic beauty of the Ziz Palm Valley before reaching the magnificent sand dunes of Erg Chebbi.
End the day with a delicious dinner by the pool and unwind in an authentic, comfortable Riad or hotel situated at the edge of the mesmerizing Erg Chebbi dunes.
Day2: Explore the Desert Area & Camel Trek
Wake up early to witness the breathtaking sunrise from the top of a majestic sand dune. After taking in this magical view, enjoy a refreshing breakfast under the warm morning sun, followed by a shower before setting off to explore the desert.
Discover the ancient “Khettaras” irrigation system and visit Khamlia village, home to a community of dark-skinned residents whose ancestors were brought from Sub-Saharan Africa. They are renowned for their captivating “Gnawa Music,” which they perform for visitors.
Embark on a full tour around the sand dunes and visit a nomadic family living in a traditional tent, offering a unique opportunity to learn about their way of life. After lunch, experience an unforgettable camel ride across the golden dunes while admiring the mesmerizing sunset.
Upon arrival at the desert camp, the staff will welcome you with traditional mint tea and pastries as part of a Moroccan ritual. Enjoy a romantic dinner, followed by an enchanting music session featuring drums and castanets, before retreating to your private ensuite tent for a peaceful night's sleep.
Day3: Merzouga Desert - Todra Gorge -Dades Valley
Rise early in the morning and ascend the sand dunes to witness the breathtaking sunrise. After enjoying a delightful breakfast under the warm sunlight and refreshing yourself with a shower, we will continue our desert journey toward the Dades Valley.
Traveling through Erfoud, we will take a break to explore the stunning Todra Gorge, known for its towering canyon walls. From there, we will make our way to the lush Dades Valley, where you will spend your third night in a comfortable hotel or Riad.
Day4: Dades Valley - Ouarzazate - Ait Benhaddou - Marrakech
After enjoying breakfast at your hotel or Riad in the Dades Valley, we will set off toward Marrakech, stopping to explore some fascinating sites along the way.
Our first stop will be in the Rose Valley, where you can visit a local cooperative and discover a variety of rose-based products, including rose water, perfumes, soaps, and lotions.
Next, we will pass through Ouarzazate, often referred to as the "Hollywood of Africa" due to its thriving film industry. If you wish, you can visit the Atlas Film Studios before taking a guided walk through the iconic Ait Benhaddou village, a UNESCO-listed kasbah known for its striking architecture.
Finally, we will continue our journey to Marrakech, enjoying a scenic drive through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains.

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.

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.
