Desert, mountains, imperial cities and the Atlantic coast. Wherever your itinerary goes, we can drive you there.
Travel times are approximate one-way drives from Marrakesh and vary with traffic, weather and stops. Longer routes are usually split over several days, and your driver can start from any city.
The Red City
Most journeys begin here. Get lost in the souks around Jemaa el-Fna square, see the Koutoubia Mosque and Bahia Palace, and slow down in the Majorelle Garden. Your driver can meet you at the airport and take you around the city at your own pace.

The Sahara
The great orange dunes of Erg Chebbi are the image most people have of the Sahara. Ride a camel at sunset, sleep in a desert camp and watch the stars. The journey there, over the Atlas and through the gorges and palm groves of the south, is half the adventure.

Imperial city
Fes el-Bali is one of the largest medieval medinas in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Follow its lanes past leather tanneries, old madrasas and craft workshops, then look out over the rooftops from the hills above the city. It's a long drive, so many travellers break it up with stops along the way.

Rif Mountains
The famous blue-washed town of the Rif Mountains, made for slow wandering and photography. Climb its quiet lanes, browse the small craft shops and walk up to the Spanish Mosque for sunset over the rooftops.

A fortified earthen village on the old caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakesh, reached over the dramatic Tizi n'Tichka pass. It has appeared in many films and is a natural first stop on the way south.
