Discover Our Ouarzazate Desert Itineraries

By starting your journey in Ouarzazate, you are already «behind» the High Atlas Mountains, meaning you are just a short drive away from the most iconic kasbahs and dunes in Morocco.

The Ouarzazate Advantage: Why Start Here?

As a licensed national agency with deep roots in the southern provinces, Morocco Tours Agency offers specialized logistics that others cannot match in the Ouarzazate region.

The Ouarzazate Advantage: Why Start Here?

While tours from Marrakech require a 4-hour crossing of the Atlas Mountains, starting in Ouarzazate puts you on the «Desert Side» immediately. This is the best choice for travelers who want a more relaxed pace or those flying directly into Ouarzazate Airport (OZZ).

Frequently Asked Questions (Ouarzazate Tours)

Do you provide pickups from Ouarzazate Airport (OZZ)?

Yes. We coordinate with all arriving flights to ensure your private driver is waiting at the terminal. We also provide transfers to local hotels and the Berbere Palace.

Can we see the Sahara Desert in one day from Ouarzazate?

While the desert is closer than Marrakech, it is still a 5.5-hour drive to Merzouga. We highly recommend at least a 2-day or 3-day tour to truly experience the Sahara dunes without rushing.

What kind of vehicles do you use for southern tours?

For our Ouarzazate and desert routes, we primarily use modern, air-conditioned 4×4 Toyota Land Cruisers or luxury minivans. These are essential for comfort and safety on the desert roads and mountain passes.

Is it possible to end the tour in Marrakech or Fes?

Most of our Ouarzazate tours are designed to finish in Marrakech after crossing the Tizi n’Tichka pass, or in Fes after traveling through the Ziz Valley. We offer complete flexibility for your drop-off location.
