The experience

What does a morning in the Moroccan desert actually look like? The day starts with pickup from your hotel around 8:30 (or 8 o'clock if you're staying in Taghazout), then heads south along the Atlantic coast for twenty minutes of off-road driving. You'll stop to see the caved fishermen houses carved into the cliffs, then move inland to the Souss Massa river, where migrating birds gather: flamingos show up here seasonally. The landscape shifts from coastal to sandy as you approach the Massa village.

The core of the tour is the dune bashing: your driver takes the 4x4 across the golden sand dunes, climbing hills and cutting across the landscape while you photograph the views and the Moroccan countryside beyond. You'll visit the traditional Berber village itself, meeting the inhabitants and learning how they live, then stop at the Youssef Ben Tachfine waterdam for panoramic views before the return drive. Lunch happens in the village (couscous, tajine, fresh fruit, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options), and you're back at your hotel by 5 p.m.

The vehicle is air-conditioned and the guide is a professional licensed driver who speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and several other languages. All fees and taxes are included in the price, and the tour suits all fitness levels. Wheelchair-accessible transportation and infant seats are available if you need them.
