Good to know

Can we change the programme?

Yes. The tour is private, so we can add a night, change the hotel or finish in Fes instead of Marrakech. Just tell us what you would like.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, families travel with us all the time. We can plan more stops on the long driving days and choose family tents in the camp.

What should I bring?

Comfortable shoes, sunglasses, sun cream, a scarf and a warm layer for the desert night. A small bag for the camp is enough — your big luggage stays safely in the vehicle.

How do I book and pay?

Send us your dates on WhatsApp or with the form. We confirm availability and the price, and explain the payment options before your trip.
