One day, door to door

Private day trips from Marrakech

Atlas villages, waterfalls, the Atlantic and the desert at the city's edge: private excursions with pick-up from your riad or hotel.

Marrakech is a wonderful base, and some of Morocco's best landscapes are only a short drive away. In a single day you can walk among Berber villages below Mount Toubkal, cool off at the Ouzoud waterfalls, wander Essaouira's ramparts by the ocean or watch the sun set over the Agafay desert.

Each excursion is private and starts with a pick-up from your accommodation in Marrakech. Departure times are flexible, the stops are yours to choose, and your driver-guide knows the best places for lunch along the way.
