The price starts at €280 per vehicle (not per person) and then varies depending on the duration and desert camp level chosen — exact amount confirmed on WhatsApp before booking.

The more of you there are, the less it costs per person
The rate covers the minivan and driver for the whole group, regardless of its size (up to 7 or 17 seats depending on the vehicle) — the total amount doesn't change, it's simply split between more travelers.
Small group (2 people)
The vehicle rate is split between 2 travelers — the per-person share is at its highest.
Medium group (4 people)
The per-person share drops by half compared to a group of 2, for the same vehicle.
Large group (6+ people)
The per-person share becomes the most advantageous, up to the minivan's capacity (7 or 17 seats).
The final rate depends on the tour's duration and the desert camp level chosen — confirmed on WhatsApp before booking.

Notre circuit Marrakech - désert - Ouarzazate - Marrakech s'est très bien passé avec notre chauffeur qui est vraiment très gentil. Il a tout géré : points de rendez-vous, hôtel, pauses déjeuner. Des pauses régulières avec de jolis points de vue et des explications.

Every step, hour by hour, from pickup in Marrakech to your return after sunrise over the dunes.

Arrival at Erg Chebbi, camel trek at sunset
Depending on the duration chosen, the route continues via the Dades and Todra Gorges before reaching the dunes. Camel ride at sunset, dinner and a night in a luxury desert camp with a private bathroom.
Sunrise and return to Marrakech
Wake before dawn for sunrise over the dunes, breakfast at camp, then a return to Marrakech at your own pace, with stops of your choosing along the way.
