    The most incredible experience in Morocco!

    This was definitely one of the most unforgettable experiences of a lifetime for both my husband & I. We really enjoyed the Morocco Imperial Cities & Sahara Desert tour which was 9 days and 8 nights. The camel ride through the Sahara & overnight camping with the Berbers was a definite highlight for us as well as Chefchaouen, Fez, Marrakech & Rabat! Both Mohammed & Fares were great! Communication over email & WhatsApp was very clear with prompt responses. Fares was an excellent driver with extremely good english. He was very accommodating and helpful. We would without a doubt highly reccomend Fares for anyone wanting to see all of Morocco by minivan. The minivan we had was brand new, clean, tidy with great air conditioning and lots of room. We felt completely comfortable. We don't have a lot to fault. My only sugg

    So many places

    We booked this very very late and the tour operator was accommodating of this. We really didn't know what to expect when we arrived but our anxieties were relieved after we met the driver at the airport in a nearly new minibus with the company branding on it. Our driver put as at ease as he appeared trustworthy and spoke a good level of English. Looking at the hotels first of all, they were all excellent except the one in Casablanca was pretty awful. The Desert camp was a real gem and surprise, however no AC (to be expected) which made the evening unbearably hot inside the night. Outside was very very pleasant however. We had breakfast and lunch at each overnight stop, all pretty good, but be aware that most of these were buffet. We had two city tours with guides, Yousef in Fes was excellent, as was our guide in Marrakech. In other cities, our driver would give us explanations and history of sites and places we were stopping at, with guides inside some attractions. Fares, our driver was excellent, not only did he know his history but also about the land and agriculture and the various people such as nomads. Fares also has an excellent knowledge of good food spots, that are off the beaten track. He gave us time to wander around sites whilst he waiting in the vehicle for us to come back. I appreciate that some may want to be held by their hand all the way through, but I think this balance was better. Fares was always prompt to pick us up every morning and start the day. In addition with the attractions, we were taking to places where artisans would make things such as zelij tiles, the tannery etc. These were nice places to visit and the techniques and history of what they do was all very interesting, however some of these shop owners were using pressure selling tactics. It's a small point to be aware of, but there is no real other way of seeing artisans at work so I can live with pushy salesman. The minibus itself was brand new, working AC and comfortable. All of this was a massive relief as the temperatures outside were soaring well past 40 on most days. Having now seen and experienced the roads of Morocco, the Atlas mountains and the associated mountain ranges, this is not a drive that most experienced drivers from the UK could do. Fares has many years experience, which showed as we felt safe throughout the journey. I have seen some reviews where people expected something different, I think as a result of incorrect expectations. I think it is better to go into this tour without expectation and allow yourself to enjoy Morocco. There is so much we did and see on this tour that I haven't listed everything.

    Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.

    How much does Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at €2,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marrakech usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marrakech is not rushed.

    Is Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marrakech can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marrakech and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marrakech within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Marrakech?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Marrakech experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall + Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Marrakech?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Marrakech?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour?

    +

    Included: Sunset and sunrise with camel treks; Free time to explore the sites such as Ait Benhaddou, Kasbah, Walks, Canyons, Breaks for p; 6 Nights at the hotels (4 Stars) with dinner and breakfast; Berber music and animation; and Dinner. Not included: Lunch; Drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Marrakech.

    What languages is Marrakech Desert Tours & Morocco Imperial Cities Tour offered in?

    +
