Who are private group tours in Morocco for?
A private group tour works whenever people want to travel together without joining a shared bus full of strangers. The trip is built around your group, so you decide how early to start, how long to stay in the souks and where to stop for photos.
| Group | What usually matters | Good fit |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-generation families | Shorter driving days, pools, flexible meals | Marrakech, Atlas, a desert night and the coast |
| Friends | Activities, atmosphere, good value | Desert tours with quad biking and sandboarding |
| Clubs and associations | A theme such as photography, hiking or history | Atlas villages, gorges, imperial cities |
| Companies | Logistics, one invoice, team activities | Incentive trips and retreats around Marrakech and the Sahara |
| Celebrations | A special dinner or experience | Riads, desert camp evenings, balloon flights |
Sample Morocco group tours and how they can be adapted
Group itineraries are built from the routes we run as private tours, then adjusted for your numbers and interests:
- Short break: the 3 day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga, with the High Atlas, Aït Benhaddou, the gorges and a night in Erg Chebbi.
- One-way across the country: the 4 day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes.
- One week: the 7 day Morocco itinerary from Casablanca, linking the imperial cities, the Sahara and Marrakech.
- Grand tour: the 10 day Morocco itinerary from Casablanca, with Chefchaouen, Fes, the desert and Marrakech.
Typical adjustments include an extra night in the desert, more time in the medinas, a cooking class, a private hammam session, a music evening or a hot air balloon flight over the Agafay desert. On free days, part of the group can relax at the riad while others explore, each with its own vehicle if needed.
The desert night for groups
The night in the Erg Chebbi dunes is usually the moment groups remember most: a camel ride at sunset, dinner together, drumming around the fire and sunrise from the top of a dune. Tents are private, normally for two people, and each has its own bathroom and toilet. Depending on the size of the group, everyone can stay in our own camp, or the group is split between neighbouring camps or booked into a partner camp, which also offers air-conditioned tents. We tell you in advance exactly where everyone sleeps.
Camel rides depend on camel availability that day; if none are free, the group reaches the camp by 4x4 with a sunset stop on the dunes and rides camels the next morning. Read more in a night in a Merzouga desert camp.
Planning tips for Morocco group travel
- Book early: three to six months ahead for spring, autumn and Christmas, and earlier for large groups or specific riads.
- Fly in and out of different cities: many groups arrive in Casablanca or Marrakech and leave from Fes or Marrakech, avoiding backtracking.
- Mixed ages: plan shorter driving legs and a rest afternoon; riads with pools help families in summer.
- Room plan: send the room configuration early (couples, twins, families, singles) so accommodation can be matched.
- Budget: lunches, drinks, tips and optional activities are usually extra; carry cash in dirhams (MAD), a closed currency.
- Languages: driver-guides work in English, French, Spanish and Italian, with Spanish and Italian subject to availability; some speak a little German.

How to get a quote for your group
Send us your dates, the number of travellers, your arrival airport or port, the ages in the group, any mobility needs and what the group most wants to see. We reply with a day-by-day proposal including the vehicle plan, the accommodation category and a total price for the group. You can change stops, hotels or pace as often as needed before confirming, and one coordinator then handles the whole trip and meets you on arrival.

For company trips, include your budget per person, the objectives of the trip and any meetings or team activities you need, and we will build the itinerary around them with a single invoice for the whole group.
