Shared tours in Morocco are a simple way to see the country with other travellers, at a lower cost than a private trip. For example, many visitors join a group to reach the Sahara from Marrakech. However, shared tours work differently from private ones, so it helps to know what to expect before you book.
How Do Shared Tours in Morocco Work?
To begin with, a shared tour runs on fixed dates and a fixed route. Then travellers from different countries join the same vehicle, driver and camp. As a result, the price per person is lower, while the plan is less flexible.
Who Are Morocco Group Tours Best For?
- Solo travellers who want company and a lower price.
- Couples on a budget who are happy with a fixed plan.
- Young travellers who enjoy meeting people.
On the other hand, families with small children, older travellers and photographers usually prefer a private tour, because they need more stops and time.
Budget Shared Tours in Morocco: What Affects the Price
In general, affordable shared tours in Morocco cost less because the vehicle and driver are shared. However, the price also depends on the season, the number of days and the type of desert camp. Therefore, compare the inclusions, not only the price.
Shared Tours from Marrakech
Marrakech is the main starting point for shared tours in Morocco. In fact, our group departures run only from Marrakech, as 3 and 4 day shared desert tours. For day excursions, also see our day trips from Marrakech, which run as private trips.
Morocco Group Tours with Local Guides
Meanwhile, a good group tour includes a local driver who knows the route, the villages and the culture. In addition, some visits use licensed local guides, for example in Ait Ben Haddou. As a result, you learn more than on a self-drive trip.
Do Group Tours Include Accommodation?
Yes, multi-day group tours usually include hotels or guesthouses and a desert camp, with breakfast and dinner. Also, check whether the camp has private bathrooms, since standards vary. For example, read luxury vs standard Merzouga camps.
Tips Before You Join a Group Tour in Morocco
- Check the group size and the departure dates.
- Ask what is included, especially meals and the camp type.
- Pack light, because space in the vehicle is shared.
