Detailed Itinerary
Arrive in Marrakech, where you are greeted by listlytour and transferred to your curated luxury riad or boutique hotel in the medina or the Palmeraie. Depending on your arrival time, you may stroll through the vibrant Jemaa el-Fna square, explore the souks or relax by the pool. We can help organise early visits to the Jardin Majorelle, the Bahia Palace or other sights based on your schedule. An evening briefing sets expectations for your 7-Day Sahara & Kasbahs Luxury Journey – South Morocco Desert Tour, including timings, route and comfort tips. Overnight in Marrakech.
After breakfast, you meet chauffeur Samir and depart Marrakech in a private AC 4×4, heading into the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. The road offers panoramic mountain views, Berber villages and scenic stops for photos. You branch off towards Telouet, visiting the historic Kasbah of the Glaoui, with its intricate zellij and carved plaster. Continuing along the old caravan route, you reach Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Ksar and one of the most famous kasbah villages in Morocco. After exploring its narrow alleys and fortified towers with or without guide Rachid, you continue to Ouarzazate, the “Gateway to the Desert”. Overnight in a luxury riad or boutique hotel in Ouarzazate.
Today you follow the legendary Road of the Kasbahs, beginning with Skoura Oasis, a lush palm grove dotted with fortified ksour and mud-brick kasbahs. Continue through the Valley of the Roses, known for its Damask rose cultivation and seasonal rose-water production, especially in May. The route leads to the impressive Dades Gorges, with winding roads and unique rock formations, then onward to Tinghir and the towering Todgha Gorges, where cliffs rise up to 300 m. Here you can enjoy a gentle walk along the riverbed and take in the dramatic canyon scenery. Overnight in a carefully selected boutique hotel or riad in the Dades or Todgha area, depending on final routing.
After breakfast, you leave the gorges region and drive via Erfoud, known for its fossils and desert gateway ambience, towards Rissani, historic capital of Tafilalet and cradle of the Alaouite dynasty. When timing permits, you may explore Rissani’s local market and, on certain days, the Mausoleum of Moulay Ali Chérif. In the afternoon, you continue to Merzouga, at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes. Here you either switch to your sunset camel ride or 4×4 transfer into the dunes, arriving at your overnight luxury desert camp as the light softens. Enjoy mint tea, settle into your en-suite tent, then savour a gourmet dinner followed by traditional music and stargazing in the Sahara. Overnight in Erg Chebbi luxury glamping.
Wake up early for sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes, a highlight of any Morocco desert tour. After breakfast, you may visit nearby nomad families, hear Gnaoua music or explore around the dunes by 4×4 with guide Rachid, depending on your preferences. You then drive towards Alnif and Tazzarine, passing stone desert landscapes and small villages. The route descends to the legendary Draa Valley, the largest oasis belt in Morocco, with endless palm groves and ancient ksour. You continue to Nkob, a Berber village famed for its many kasbahs, where you spend the night in a charming kasbah-style guesthouse or boutique lodge.
This morning you follow the Draa Valley northwards, passing Agdz, where the view over the palm grove is one of the most beautiful panoramas in South Morocco. You then return towards Ouarzazate, where you may visit one of the famous film studios or the restored Kasbah of Taourirt, depending on interest and time. In the afternoon, you cross the Tizi n’Tichka Pass once more, descending back to Marrakech. Arrival is usually in the late afternoon or early evening, leaving time to rest at your luxury riad or enjoy a final dinner in town. Overnight in Marrakech.
Your last day in Marrakech is flexible: use it to explore any sites you may have missed on Day 1, such as the Majorelle Garden, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, the Saadian Tombs or the secret gardens and rooftop terraces of the medina. Depending on your flight time, we can arrange last-minute shopping in the souks or a relaxing hammam and spa session. Chauffeur Samir takes care of your airport transfer, ensuring a smooth end to your 7-Day Sahara & Kasbahs Luxury Journey – South Morocco Desert Tour.
Turn Your South Morocco Trip into a Signature Sahara Escape
From Marrakech to Erg Chebbi, the Dades and Todra Gorges, we design a private 7-Day Sahara & Kasbahs Luxury Journey with curated riads, desert camps, scenic drives and sunset camel treks – all with transparent, itemised pricing.
Over many years of operating this South Morocco desert tour, we have refined the route to balance drive times, comfort and genuine encounters. We know when the Tizi n’Tichka Pass is at its most scenic and when Aït Benhaddou is quieter. In the desert, we adjust the length and timing of the sunset camel ride to the season and your comfort level. We choose smaller, character-rich riads in Skoura, Dades or Todgha to avoid large, impersonal hotels. This on-the-ground experience lets us deliver a high-end Morocco desert tour that feels bespoke, not generic.
Before each departure, we re-confirm hotel and camp allocations, vehicle status, and guide availability. Our luxury desert camp and key riad partners are regularly checked for cleanliness, hot water reliability, bedding quality and food standards. Drivers and guides are officially licensed by the Moroccan Ministry of Tourism and briefed on your specific preferences. We monitor seasonal conditions in the High Atlas, gorges and desert to anticipate any necessary route adjustments. This verification process ensures your 7-day luxury Morocco itinerary maintains its promised standard from first day to last.
We love the moment guests first see the Erg Chebbi dunes rising from the horizon, and the way the light shifts from gold to pink at sunset. Walking through the alleys of Aït Benhaddou and then sleeping in a quiet kasbah-style riad nearby feels like stepping into a film and then stepping back to comfort. The contrast between the carved gorges of Dades and Todgha and the vast, open dunes of the Sahara is another highlight. Evenings by the campfire, with Berber music and bright stars, often become the most cherished memory of this Marrakech to Sahara tour.
Weather & Best Time
This Luxury South Morocco Desert Tour runs year-round, but spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are often ideal. Summer can be hot, especially in the Draa Valley and Erg Chebbi, so we adjust activities to early morning and late afternoon. Winter brings cooler evenings and crisp air in the High Atlas and desert; your accommodations and camp provide extra blankets and heating where appropriate. Whatever the season, strong sun protection is essential throughout this Morocco desert tour.
Packing
Pack layered clothing to adapt to temperature changes between Marrakech, mountains and desert. Light, breathable fabrics for daytime, warmer layers and a windproof jacket for evenings and early mornings. Comfortable closed shoes or trainers are recommended for walking in gorges and on kasbah steps. Bring sunglasses, a hat, high SPF sunscreen and a small daypack. A scarf or shawl is useful for wind and sun in the Sahara.
Accessibility & Options
This 7-Day Sahara & Kasbahs Luxury Journey involves some walking in medinas, kasbahs, gorges and on uneven surfaces. It is not fully wheelchair accessible but can be adapted for reduced mobility in certain areas with advance planning. Camel rides are optional; travellers who prefer can reach the camp by 4×4 instead. Dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) can generally be accommodated with prior notice. Families with children or teens are welcome; we tailor pacing and room configurations to your needs.
This journey is perfect for travellers seeking a high-end Morocco desert tour that combines kasbahs, oases and Sahara dunes in a single, coherent itinerary. It suits couples, honeymooners and small private groups who value curated comfort, culture and photography. Luxury travellers who want a private Morocco tour with personal driver and guide, rather than group buses, will appreciate the privacy and flexibility. It is also ideal for those who want to see the best of South Morocco in seven days, without compromising on accommodation standards or logistics.
