Experience the Best Semester at Desert Plan, a thrilling adventure designed for students, from Tangier to Marrakech. Explore the Merzouga Sahara Desert with ATV quad biking, camel rides, and a refreshing desert swimming pool, enjoy cultural visits to nomadic villages and Gnawa music, and soar above Marrakech in a hot air balloon at sunrise. Travel through the Todra Gorges, Dades Valley, Valley of Roses, and Ait Ben Haddou, with scenic High Atlas Mountains views, combining adventure, culture, and comfort for an unforgettable Morocco student Tour experience.

In the late afternoon, you will take the train from Tangier (around 5:00 PM) to Casablanca Airport. This timing allows a smooth check-in for your 10:00 PM flight to Errachidia. Upon arrival in Errachidia close to midnight, we will personally meet you at the airport and transfer you directly to the Merzouga desert area (approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes).
Because of the late arrival, we recommend staying overnight in a comfortable desert hotel rather than the camp, so your children can rest well after the travel day.
After breakfast, you will begin a full desert discovery day around Merzouga and the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.
In the morning, you will visit a nomadic family living near the dunes. You will share tea and learn about their daily life, traditions, and how families adapt to desert conditions. This experience allows authentic cultural exchange in a relaxed environment.
You will also visit Khamlia village to experience traditional Gnawa music, performed by descendants of Sub-Saharan African communities.
For lunch, you will join Nomads for a traditional meal and participate in preparing Berber pizza (Madfouna), a fun and interactive cooking activity that children usually enjoy very much.
In the afternoon, enjoy a gentle camel ride toward the oasis at a comfortable family pace. You will walk through palm groves and watch the sunset over the dunes.
Overnight will be in a luxury desert camp with private tent and bathroom. Dinner will be served under the stars, followed by soft traditional music around the fire (optional and relaxed atmosphere).
After breakfast, you will depart for Rissani, a traditional market town and the historical birthplace of Morocco’s ruling dynasty. If it is market day, you will see authentic local trade, spices, dates, and traditional livestock markets.
Continue to the spectacular Todra Gorges, where you can take a short, easy walk between the impressive canyon walls. The area is safe and suitable for children, with beautiful photo opportunities.
In the afternoon, drive to the Dades Valley, famous for its unusual rock formations often called “Monkey Fingers.” Overnight in a charming guesthouse surrounded by mountains.
After breakfast, travel through the Valley of Roses toward Ouarzazate, known as the gateway to the desert.
You will visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou, one of Morocco’s most famous fortified villages. It has been used as a filming location for many international movies. You can walk through its ancient clay architecture and climb to the top for panoramic views.
In the afternoon, cross the High Atlas Mountains via the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass, enjoying spectacular landscapes along the way. Arrival in Marrakech in the evening. Overnight in a comfortable riad in the Medina.
Today, start your day with a hot air balloon ride over the Atlas Mountains and the surroundings. Enjoy the sunrise and the stunning views.
Afterwards, the day is free for you to explore Marrakech. Wander the streets, visit the markets, taste local specialties, or relax in a café. The afternoon is yours to enjoy the city at your own pace.

EXCELLENT Based on 358 reviews Posted on Nicola BVerified Un viaggio da favola Abbiamo prenotato il nostro viaggio di nozze con Desert Discovery Tours ed è stata un'esperienza fantastica. Mustapha è stato gentilissimo e ha prenotato per noi delle strutture davvero bellissime, mentre Brahim, il nostro driver, è stato davvero professionale, disponibile e molto simpatico. È stato un piacere attraversare il Marocco con lui! Le due guide, a Fes e Marrakech, erano molto professionali e ci sono piaciuti molto entrambi i tour. In soli 12 giorni abbiamo visitato il Marocco in tutte le sue sfaccettature, facendo esperienze autentiche e indimenticabili, e apprezzando la bellezza di paesaggi mozzafiato (l'oceano, il deserto e le montagne dell'Atlante). Consigliamo vivamente questo tour a chi voglia visitare il Marocco nel miglior modo possibile.Posted on DayTrip56989979233Verified Wonderful tour This was an amazing experience. Our driver, Mustapha, was a fabulous guide. We were so comfortable in the van and saw so many beautiful places. We had the perfect amount of time with guides and time on our own to explore. I would definitely recommend Desert Discovery Tours!!Posted on Andrea BVerified A great experience in the desert All locations that we have visited are stunning and beautiful. This desert tour is such a wonderful experience. The guide has always been at our disposal for any of our needs and everything very well organized. I asked a lot of information before the tour directly via email and I always received clear and timely responses, which is a minor detail but contributes to making this a great experience overall.Posted on Fabio PVerified Super Tour organizzato bene: in 5 gg abbiamo vistato tanti posti, dalle medine al deserto, alla città blu. Le strutture erano ben curate e il personale molto gentile. L’accompagnatore, molto preparato, e’ stato estremamente attento.Posted on Ina BVerified Awesome two weeks in Morocco We used the 11 day tour itinerary as a starting point, added three days, and adjusted the tour to our liking. We flew into Marrakesh and left from Casablanca. Mustapha was super helpful to tweak the individual items and addressed all our questions quickly until we had it all planned out. Our trip was great! We were really surprised by the variety of things we saw and the beauty of landscapes throughout the trip. There was quite a bit if driving involved and we were really happy that we didn't have to do the driving ourselves, especially in the big cities. It was so much more relaxed to just sit and have someone drive who's used to that kind of traffic and knows his way around. We had the same driver for the entire time, which was really pleasant. In the cities we had specialized tour guides to show us around. One of our highlight was surely the two nights in the desert camp. It was a truly special experience and we were so lucky with the weather, having perfect conditions and no storms. The camp was very comfortable, the camel ride super fun and we highly recommend you don't skip it. We felt that the true value of a private organized trip is the peace-of-mind you get. There is no worrying about how to get from A to B, and you can just focus on enjoying your trip. It makes it so easy and worry-free. We can totally recommend Desert Discovery Tours, as they were great planning the tour with, considering our requests and organizing the whole trip very professionally. Our driver Youssef was super friendly and we felt that we were in good hands throughout.Posted on Anand IVerified Unforgettable 9-Day Morocco Adventure with Desert Discovery Tours We had an amazing experience with Desert Discovery Tours in Morocco! Our 8-night, 9-day journey covered nearly 1,200 miles and was incredibly well organized from start to finish. A special thanks to Mustafa for planning such a thoughtful and seamless itinerary. Every detail was well coordinated, and the trip allowed us to experience so much of Morocco’s beauty, culture, history, and landscapes without ever feeling rushed. The Riad stays throughout the trip were absolutely awesome — beautiful, authentic, comfortable, and full of charm. They really added to the overall Moroccan experience and made each stop memorable. Hassan was exceptional — not only an excellent driver for the long distances, but also a friendly, patient, and knowledgeable guide throughout the journey. He always made us feel comfortable and welcomed. In several cities, we also had specialized local guides who added great depth and insight to the experience. Overall, this was a memorable, smooth, and unforgettable trip. Highly recommend Desert Discovery Tours to anyone looking for an authentic and well-planned way to explore Morocco!Posted on GirishVerified Beautiful Morocco! We recently returned from a trip to Morocco organized by this fantastic team, and we couldn't be happier. From start to finish, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring our stay in this beautiful country was seamless. The itinerary was perfectly balanced; the pace was pleasant—giving us time to breathe—and the accommodations were consistently comfortable. A massive shout-out to our driver-guide, Brahim. He was more than just a driver; his great sense of humor and pleasant personality made the long drives feel like a highlight of the trip. The Sahara stay was a particular standout. Seeing the vast, quiet desert landscapes juxtaposed against the high energy of the bustling markets and towns was breathtaking. My only small critique would be that vegetarian food options were a bit limited in a couple of locations, but overall, the experience was world-class. Highly recommended!Posted on Raj RVerified Morocco Trip Our recent trip to Morocco was truly unforgettable, and we owe a big part of that to TripAdvisor for organizing such a seamless experience. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and executed. The itinerary covered some of the most beautiful and culturally rich places, and every destination felt unique and well worth visiting. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was absolutely delightful—we got to experience authentic Moroccan cuisine, and every meal felt like a highlight in itself. A special mention goes to our guide, who was exceptional. He was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and attentive. He stayed with us throughout the journey, making sure we were comfortable, informed, and fully immersed in the local culture. His insights and stories added so much depth to the experience. Transportation, timing, and overall coordination were smooth and stress-free, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment of the trip. Overall, it was a beautifully curated experience, and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore Morocco in a well-organized and enriching way.Posted on Cosimo FVerified Mustapha k Tour che ha superato le mie aspettative, i riad scelti dall agenzia erano tutti molto belli e di alto livello.
