Day trips from Marrakech

Desert sunsets, waterfalls, Berber villages and the Atlantic coast – private excursions with pick-up at your hotel or riad.

Day trips

Escape the city for a day

Marrakech is the perfect base to discover the south of Morocco. In less than three hours you can be in the snowy High Atlas, at the highest waterfalls of the country or on the windy beaches of Essaouira – and be back in time for dinner.

Every excursion is private, with pick-up and drop-off at your hotel or riad, and timing adapted to you.

Questions

Good to know

What time do day trips start?

Usually in the morning, between 8:00 and 9:00, with pick-up at your hotel or riad. The Agafay sunset trip starts in the afternoon.

Can I combine a day trip with a desert tour?

Yes. Many travellers add a day trip before or after their desert tour – just tell us your dates and we organise everything.

Is Agafay a real desert?

Agafay is a stone desert of rolling hills near Marrakech, not sand dunes. It is beautiful at sunset, but for big dunes you need Merzouga or Zagora.

Are the tours private?

Yes. All our tours are private: just you and your companions, with your own driver and an itinerary adapted to your pace.
