Camel Trekking in Morocco · Marrakech
A private driver takes your group from Marrakech through the Dades Valley to a desert camp at Merzouga, then north via Ifrane to Fes, a night in Chefchaouen and on to Tangier. Pick it if you're leaving Morocco from the north and want the desert without sharing a group tour.
Camel Trekking in Morocco picks you up at your Marrakech accommodation for a five-day private trip that never comes back. Day 1 crosses the Atlas past Ait Benhaddou (a drive-by, per the listing) and Ouarzazate to a night in the Dades Valley. Day 2 runs through Tinghir to Erg Chebbi, with a camel ride and a night in a desert camp near Merzouga.
Day 3 is the long one: Erfoud, the Ziz Valley, the Azrou cedar forest and Ifrane, a mountain town at over 1,650 m, before Fes. Day 4 gives you a private guided half day in the Fes medina (about four hours) and an afternoon drive to Chefchaouen for the night. On day 5 you leave the Blue City for Tangier, where the trip ends. The listing names the stays: Hotel Babylon or Riad Villa Dades, Riad Damia or Riad La Clé de Fès, Riad Casa Hassan or Dar Echaouen, or similar.
It's the most expensive trip on this site, and it's priced per person. Thirteen reviews, all five stars, is a good start. Lunches are extra (the listing says €1 to €10 each), so are monument fees (€4 to €8) and the Fes guide fee (€8 per person). Only two dinners are included, in Dades and the camp. And Ait Benhaddou is a photo stop from the road, not a visit.
