Day Trips from Marrakech
Eight private excursions from Marrakech: Atlas valleys, waterfalls, the Atlantic, the Agafay Desert and Ait Ben Haddou.
Marrakech is surrounded by remarkably varied landscapes. Within an hour you can be in the High Atlas or the Agafay Desert. Within three hours, on the Atlantic coast or at the foot of the Ouzoud waterfalls.
All our day trips are private, with pick-up at your accommodation. Short trips like Agafay or Lalla Takerkoust fit into an afternoon, while Ait Ben Haddou and Essaouira are full days. For the Sahara dunes, choose a multi-day tour from Marrakech.
