Desert Tours from Tangier: How It Works
Arriving by ferry from Spain or flying into Tangier? A private desert tour from Tangier lets you cross Morocco from north to south in one trip. Every route visits Chefchaouen, the blue city of the Rif Mountains, and Fes, then crosses the Middle Atlas to the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga for a sunset camel ride.
From the desert, most tours continue through the Todra and Dades gorges and Aït Ben Haddou to Marrakech. The 12 and 15-day tours add the Atlantic coast and loop back to Tangier.
