Description
Sahara Tours 4x4 from Marrakech offer an unforgettable adventure into the Moroccan desert, perfect for families looking to explore beyond the city. These tours typically last 3 to 4 days and take you through the stunning Atlas Mountains, traditional Berber villages like Ait Ben Haddou, and dramatic landscapes such as the Dades and Todra Gorges. The highlight for many is arriving in Merzouga, where you can ride camels across the sand dunes and spend the night in comfortable desert camps under a sky full of stars. It's a magical journey full of natural beauty and cultural discovery.
Families with children find these tours especially rewarding. While there are some long drives, the routes are broken up with frequent stops for sightseeing, snacks, and short walks. Kids love riding camels, running up sand dunes, and sleeping in cozy tents in the desert. The guides are often praised for being warm and engaging with children—sometimes even surprising young guests with songs or birthday celebrations in the dunes. Parents appreciate the safety, comfort, and the chance to share such a unique experience with their kids.
Prices vary based on the type of tour, group size, and accommodation level. Shared 3-day tours generally start around €345 per person, while longer private 4-day tours may cost between €350 to €525. If you’re hiring a private 4x4 with a driver, the rate is typically around €130–135 per day, plus fuel. Most packages include transportation, lodging (in hotels or desert camps), meals, camel rides, and a local guide. Extra costs may include drinks, tips, and meals not specified. Booking ahead—especially during school holidays—is recommended to get the best availability and prices. This desert journey is a truly enriching family experience that combines comfort, adventure, and lasting memories.
