Frequently asked

Package questions, answered.

Are these Ouarzazate tour packages private or group trips?
Every package is 100% private — just you and the people you book with. We do not pool travellers. You keep your own driver-guide, vehicle and pace from start to finish.
Why are prices quoted rather than listed?
Each route is tailored to your dates, group size, vehicle and standard of accommodation, so we quote in writing rather than post a fixed sticker price. Send your dates and party and we reply with an itemised quote within 24 hours.
Do the tours start in Ouarzazate or Marrakech?
Both work. Ouarzazate has its own airport (OZZ) and is the natural southern base, so most routes start and end here. If you are coming from Marrakech we can collect you and cross the Tizi n'Tichka pass on the first day — the 3-day Marrakech–Ouarzazate–Sahara loop is built exactly for that.
Can I change the length or route of a package?
Yes. Every itinerary is a starting point — add a desert night, swap the Draa for the gorges, or extend the kasbah trail. Tell us what you have in mind and we re-quote within 24 hours before any payment.

Want a custom southern Morocco route?

Send a few lines — when you're coming, who's with you, and whether you lean toward kasbahs, gorges or the dunes. You'll get a written itinerary and a real, itemised quote within 24 hours.
