Marrakech is the perfect base to discover very different landscapes in a single day: green Berber valleys in the Atlas Mountains, the 110-metre Ouzoud Waterfalls, the Atlantic port of Essaouira, or the kasbahs of Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou.
All our day trips are private: we pick you up at your riad or hotel at the time you choose, and bring you back in the evening.

What our travelers say
« Amazing Desert Trip! We had an unforgettable experience with Redouane. He was professional, friendly, and very well organized throughout the entire desert tour. Everything was perfectly planned, and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment... »
« Redouane Chahid was the most superb host — so helpful and accommodating. I couldn’t recommend him enough! »
« Redouane made our stay genuinely better. He’s always smiling, welcoming, and just very easy to approach. He takes the time to help, gives honest recommendations, and you can tell he really cares about the guests having a good experience. »
Which day trip is right for you?
- Ourika Valley — about 1 hour away; Berber villages, a short waterfall walk and lunch by the river. Easy and relaxing.
- Ouzoud Waterfalls — about 2.5–3 hours; the most impressive waterfalls in North Africa, with wild monkeys.
- Essaouira — about 2.5–3 hours; ocean breeze, fresh fish, ramparts and argan cooperatives on the way.
- Ouarzazate & Ait Ben Haddou — a long but spectacular day over the High Atlas passes.
Why go private instead of a shared excursion
Shared day trips follow a fixed schedule with many stops for sales. With a private driver you leave when you want, skip what does not interest you and take all the time you need for photos or lunch.
What is included in a private day trip
- Pick-up and drop-off at your riad or hotel in Marrakech
- Private air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking driver
- Stops wherever you want for photos
- Local guide on request (for example for walks in the Ourika Valley or in Essaouira's medina)
Tips for a great day trip
- Start early to enjoy the landscapes before the day gets busy.
- Wear comfortable shoes — the Ouzoud and Ourika waterfalls involve some walking on uneven paths.
- Bring cash for lunch, small purchases and tips.
- In winter, take a warm layer for the Atlas Mountains.
More than one day?
If you have more time, combine a day trip with a desert tour from Marrakech — for example Ourika on your first day, then 3 days in the Sahara.
