Why Book a Morocco Tour from Agadir?
Agadir is Morocco's sunny Atlantic beach city, and it is also one of the best starting points for the south of the country. From here you can reach the Anti-Atlas mountains, the date palm oases of the Draa Valley, the dunes of Erg Chegaga and Erg Chebbi, the Dades Valley, and the imperial city of Marrakech, all without going back to the north first.
At Rachid Morocco Tours every Morocco tour from Agadir is private. You travel only with your family or friends, with a professional local driver-guide, in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. You choose the pace, the stops, the hotels and the length of the trip. We handle the rest: route planning, accommodation, desert camp, meals and logistics.

Private Multi-Day Morocco Tours from Agadir
Below are our five most popular private tours from Agadir. Each one is a starting point: tell us your dates, group size and budget and we will adapt it, add a night, remove a stop or change the end city.
3-Day Agadir to Erg Chegaga Desert Tour (Ending in Agadir)
The quickest way to sleep in the real Sahara from Agadir. Wild dunes, far from the crowds.
Leave Agadir in the morning and cross the Anti-Atlas mountains and the Souss region. Drive through desert landscapes toward Foum Zguid, then continue by 4x4 or camel into the dunes of Erg Chegaga. Sunset on the dunes, dinner and a night in a private desert camp under the stars.
Day 2: Erg Chegaga Discovery
Sunrise over the dunes, then explore the area: Lake Iriki (when it has water), nomad families, palm groves and the wide open hamada. Camel ride at sunset and a night in camp with Berber music.
Day 3: Return to Agadir
Breakfast in the desert, then the long scenic drive back to Agadir with stops for lunch and photos.
Good to know: Erg Chegaga is wilder and less visited than Erg Chebbi. If you have only three days, this is the best Sahara experience from Agadir. For a longer trip, see our 4-day option below.

End Your Tour in a Different City
One of the biggest advantages of a private tour is flexibility. Every tour above can start in Agadir and finish in another city, so you do not waste a day driving back. This is perfect if you are continuing your trip to Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, Rabat or Tangier, or if your return flight leaves from another airport.
Tip: Ending in Marrakech instead of returning to Agadir saves roughly 4 hours of driving on the last day and gives you extra time in the medina.

On the road to the Sahara
Anti-Atlas and Draa Valley
Tafraoute's pink rocks, Taliouine's saffron fields, the kasbahs of Taznakht and the endless palm groves of Agdz and Zagora give you a very different Morocco from the busy north.
Erg Chegaga and Erg Chebbi
Erg Chegaga is wild, remote and quiet. Erg Chebbi has the tallest and most photographed dunes in Morocco, near Merzouga. In both places you can ride camels, try sandboarding, join a 4x4 or quad excursion, enjoy Berber music and sleep in a desert camp.
Dades Valley, Todra Gorge and Ait Ben Haddou
Dramatic canyons, red cliffs and fortified villages. Ait Ben Haddou is a UNESCO World Heritage ksar used in many famous films.
Marrakech and Essaouira
Marrakech brings palaces, gardens, souks and Jemaa el-Fna, while Essaouira offers a relaxed seaside medina with fresh fish and Atlantic breezes. You can read more about the city on its Agadir Wikipedia page.
Best Time for a Morocco Tour from Agadir
Agadir enjoys sunshine almost all year, but the desert and mountain regions have strong seasons. The best months for a Sahara desert tour from Agadir are October to April, with March, April, October and November the most comfortable.
Spring (Mar - May)
