When you are considering the golden sand, the nights full of stars, and the beating of the Berber culture, this Sahara Desert excursion to Marrakech is the adventure of the year. This extraordinary adventure sweeps you away through the busy stalls of Marrakech into the quiet and unreal beauty of the Sahara Desert where time has almost stopped and nature has taken a lead.
At Roa Morocco, we craftily design our Marrakech Sahara Desert Tour, where we can say that it is not only a sightseeing tour or tour but the whole experience of Morocco history, culture, and nature.
The Reason to Pick a Marrakech Sahara Desert Tour?
Most travelers in Morocco always begin their trip in Marrakech yet the real magic is only a step outside the city. In just a few hours of drive, the landscape changes in a striking way; you find not only the High Atlas Mountains but also pre-historic kasbahs and eventually the endless sands and sweeping dunes of the Sahara.
That is why the Marrakech to Sahara Desert Tour is a memorable tour:
- Varied Topography and scenic Trail Drives
Your trip starts in the city of Marrakech where it is full of life and color. There, you will pass through the Tizi n’Tichka pass which is quite a spectacular mountain road in North Africa. The High Atlas Mountains panoramas will offer you dramatic mountain valleys, wavy roads, and the traditional Berber villages, which are settling on the cliffs.
On your way down to the desert, the scenery becomes arid and rough, which results in such destinations as Ouarzazate (a.k.a. the “Hollywood of Africa) and the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a clay historic village that served as a setting of numerous well-known movies.
There is simply nothing like waking up at the Sahara: when the first rays of dawn hit the dunes, it is magic.
- Heritage and Home cookery
The interaction with people is one of the most enjoyable activities of this tour. Ranging smoothly through human beings who live very close to the desert you will find friends, guides who are otherwise the Berbers, the nomadic families, and the people who look after the kasbahs.
You will as well have an opportunity to sample a wide range of Moroccan cuisine such as tagine, couscous, and mint tea made with tenderness and marinated with century-old culinary history.

When to Visit Sahara Desert on a Trip
I recommend that you book a Marrakech Sahara Desert Tour between October and April, since the weather is avoided. The desert is very hot during summer, however, early morning and evening experiences are quite pleasant all through.
Final Thoughts
Marrakech Sahara Desert Tour is not a journey, it is a spiritual adventure that helps you tie with the past, nature, and other human beings. This tour features everything you could be looking at on the richness of the Morrocan heart in Marrakech up to the silent splendor of the dunes of the Sahara.
