No fixed prices, no hidden fees, no misleading per-person rates. Here is exactly what affects the cost of your private Sahara journey.
A private Sahara journey is not a fixed product. It is built around your specific travel dates, your group size, where you want to start and end, how many days you have, what level of accommodation you prefer, and what kind of desert camp experience you're looking for.
Two people travelling together cost more per person than four people sharing the same vehicle. A 5-day journey costs more than a 3-day journey. A premium camp costs more than a standard one. None of that should be surprising — but it is worth being transparent about from the start.
We will always give you a clear breakdown of what is included, what is excluded, and exactly why the price is what it is. No surprises after confirmation.
Our pricing policy: Final pricing is always confirmed after we understand your travel dates, group size, preferred comfort level, route, and accommodation expectations. We do not lock in a price until everything is clear on both sides.
The vehicle is private to your group. The driver is dedicated to your journey. Those costs are fixed regardless of whether your group is 2, 4, or 6 people.
When you receive a quote from us, it will be a per-group total — not a per-person figure that looks cheaper but multiplies confusingly. If you want to understand the per-person cost, you simply divide by the number of travelers.
Example
A 3-day private Marrakech–Merzouga journey at comfort level might cost €790 for the group. For 2 travelers that is €395 per person. For 4 travelers sharing the same vehicle, the group cost may be slightly higher (say €950) but becomes €237.50 per person.
The larger your group, the lower the per-person cost — because the vehicle and driver costs are shared. Minimum group: 1 person. Maximum: typically 6 for a standard minivan.
Each additional day adds vehicle cost, accommodation, and often guide or activity costs. Adding one day can transform a rushed trip into a comfortable one — we always explain this if it applies to your route.
Standard guesthouses, comfortable mid-range riads, or carefully selected premium properties. We offer all three levels with honest descriptions of each — not marketing labels.
Standard camp: shared bathroom, basic tent. Comfort camp: private bathroom, better tent. Premium: the best available in the dunes, private facilities, dinner service. We clarify exactly what each level means.
Marrakech to Merzouga is roughly 560 km each way. Fes to Merzouga is different. Casablanca adds more distance. The starting city and route shape affect both driving days and total cost.
Standard air-conditioned vehicles for most groups. Larger 4WD or upgraded minivans for premium journeys or larger groups. We match the vehicle to your group size — no squeezing extra people in.
A local English-speaking guide at specific sites (Ait Ben Haddou, Rissani medina, Fes medina) adds depth to the experience. Always optional, always clearly itemised in your quote.
Camp dinner and breakfast are typically included in the camp cost. Other meals vary by itinerary. We list exactly which meals are included in every quote — you will not be surprised by an unexpected restaurant bill.
Camel riding, quad biking, sandboarding — available in the Merzouga area. Never included in the base price. Always listed as optional extras with their costs stated upfront.
Some sites charge entrance fees paid on arrival. These are typically paid directly by the traveler. We always specify in your quote whether any entrance fees are included or excluded.
These are honest starting-from ranges for 2 travelers. Your final quote will depend on the specific variables above. We do not use these figures as marketing minimums.
For 2 travelers at standard to comfort level. Includes private vehicle, accommodation 2 nights, camp dinner and breakfast. Long driving days — we are always honest about this when you enquire.
View Route Details →For 2 travelers at standard to comfort level. More balanced pacing, proper time in the dunes, better quality stops along the route. Our recommended minimum for Marrakech-Merzouga travelers.
View 4-Day Route →For 2 travelers at comfort level. Two nights in the desert, real time in Dades and Todra, unhurried driving. The journey that most travelers wish they had booked once they have done a shorter version.
View 5-Day Route →For 2 travelers. One of the most complete Morocco circuits — from the imperial medina of Fes through the Ziz Valley, Rissani, the dunes, and south to Marrakech. Pricing varies with comfort level.
View Circuit Details →Important: Premium and luxury versions of all routes are available at significantly higher prices depending on accommodation choice, camp selection, vehicle type, and season. We price every journey individually. These ranges are a guide only — not a guaranteed minimum. For larger groups (4–8 travelers), per-person costs reduce substantially as the vehicle cost is shared.
This varies per itinerary. Your quote will list specifics. These are the general patterns across all our routes.

Prices can vary slightly with high-demand periods (spring school holidays, Christmas/New Year). Summer in the Sahara is extreme heat (40°C+) and less popular — prices may reflect this. We will always tell you if a seasonal factor affects your quote.
Yes. Once you are happy with the route and the quote, we typically ask for a deposit to confirm accommodation bookings. The deposit amount and payment terms will be clearly stated in your quote.
Changes before the journey are possible depending on timing and accommodation availability. We will always be transparent about what a change affects. Some changes may affect the price; some may not. We discuss every modification honestly before adjusting anything.
Yes. Solo travel is possible. The vehicle and driver are private to you. The per-person cost will naturally be higher since the vehicle cost is not shared — but many solo travelers find the private experience worth it for the comfort, safety, and freedom it provides.
We provide indicative pricing in Euros as a reference currency. Final pricing can be confirmed in Euros, USD, or GBP — discuss with us at the time of your enquiry.
No pressure, no commitment required. Just an honest conversation about what your Sahara journey could look like.
