Choosing a tour from Tangier
Where you fly out
The 5- and 9-day tours end in Marrakech. The 7-day drives on from Marrakech to Casablanca on the last day, stopping at the Hassan II mosque before the drop-off at your hotel or the airport. The 2-day brings you back to Tangier.
How far the Sahara is
Merzouga is at the other end of the country. The 5- and 7-day tours spend their first nights in Fes and reach the dunes on the third day, after a drive from Fes that the 5-day itinerary puts at over seven hours, including stops at Ifrane, the Azrou cedar forest and the Ziz valley. If the desert is the main reason for your trip and you can start elsewhere, the tours from Fes reach Merzouga on their first day, and our desert tours from every city are compared on one page.
What the 9-day adds
An arrival day with a pick-up at Tangier's Ibn Battuta airport or one of the ports; a morning in Tangier (the American Legation, the medina, Cape Spartel and the Caves of Hercules) before the drive to Chefchaouen; a full day around Merzouga (Khamlia, a nomad family, the Srij lake and, time permitting, Rissani) before the camel ride; and a Marrakech city tour on the last morning.
What the tours include
All four itineraries list:
- Pick-up and drop-off
- An English- or Spanish-speaking driver
- Accommodation
- A 4WD vehicle with fuel
- Breakfast and dinner
- A camel for each traveller, on the three Sahara tours
The tours are private: your party travels with its own dedicated driver and is not combined with other travellers. Our private tours page explains what that covers, and the Sahara guide describes the camel ride and the camp night.
Not included
Flights, travel insurance, monument fees, lunches, tips and drinks are not included.
