Where to Go from Marrakech
Marrakech sits at the foot of the High Atlas, between the Sahara and the Atlantic. Three directions cover most trips.
South to the Sahara
Over the Tizi n’Tichka pass to Ait Ben Haddou, the Dades Valley and the dunes of Merzouga, or down the Draa Valley to Zagora. See our Sahara desert tours from Marrakech for every option.
North to the imperial cities
Fes, Meknes and Chefchaouen are 6 to 8 hours north. Our 8-day Morocco itinerary from Marrakech combines them with the desert and ends in Casablanca.
Into the Atlas and to the coast
For a day or two: the Imlil valley below Toubkal, the Ourika Valley, the Ouzoud waterfalls, or Essaouira on the Atlantic, 3 hours west. Our day trips from Marrakech cover them all.
How many days?
Give Marrakech itself at least one full day, then add 3 to 4 days for the desert. With a week, add Fes; with ten days, the coast too.

Tours from Marrakech Questions
Something else on your mind? Send us your question and a real person on our team answers.
What are the best private tours from Marrakech?
For the desert, the 3 or 4-day tour to Merzouga. For a first trip across Morocco, the 8-day itinerary from Marrakech. For a single day, the Atlas Mountains or Essaouira.
Do tours from Marrakech pick up from riads in the medina?
Yes. Cars cannot enter most of the medina, so your driver meets you at the nearest gate or square and a porter can help with bags.
Can we start a tour the day we land in Marrakech?
For day trips and desert tours, we suggest a night in Marrakech first, since desert tours leave early. For longer itineraries, day 1 is your arrival.
How much are tours from Marrakech?
Day trips start from about $40 per person for groups of up to 6. Multi-day tours are quoted by group size, hotel level and season; we reply with an exact price within 24 hours.
