Moratra

Moratra says every trip it sells is private. That means one vehicle, one driver and guide, and only the people you travel with. The team is in Marrakech and has been running tours since 2014. You can start or end at any airport.

Tours by length

The route list is sorted by days.

• 2 to 5 days: the Sahara from Marrakech, with a 4 day family trip to Zagora and a one way desert tour that ends in Fes.
• 6 to 9 days: Fes to Merzouga in 6 days, a week round trip from Marrakech, and 8 day routes that add Fes and Chefchaouen.
• 10 to 15 days: grand circuits, such as 10 days from Casablanca or 15 days from Tangier to Agadir through the desert.

Prices are listed in dollars per person and start at about $358 for the shortest Sahara trip. The company says it confirms the final price in writing before you pay.

A day or a night

Short options leave from Marrakech. A hot air balloon ride at sunrise starts at $155 per person. A night in an Agafay desert camp, with dinner and breakfast, starts at $165. There are also day trips to Essaouira, the Ourika valley and the Ouzoud falls.

How a private trip works

You send your dates and the names of places you love, by form or WhatsApp. The team replies with a route and you adjust it. The company says it picks the riads, kasbahs and desert camps itself, at the comfort level you choose. It also says a team member is on call at all hours.

The company shows a 5.0 score on Google and says it has hosted more than 300 guests. Those are its own numbers.
