Small group tours in Morocco offer a middle path between a big bus tour and a private trip. In fact, a smaller group means more comfort, more time at each stop and a friendlier atmosphere. Here is what our team checks when we plan a group departure, so you can choose well.
Why Choose Small Group Tours in Morocco?
To begin with, a small group travels in a regular vehicle rather than a large bus. As a result, the stops are easier, and the driver can answer everyone’s questions. In addition, you share the cost, so the trip stays more affordable than a private tour.
1. Group Size
First of all, ask how many people join each departure. In general, smaller groups move faster and feel more personal. Therefore, avoid tours that do not tell you the group size.
2. Local Drivers and Guides
Then check who runs the tour. For example, a local company with its own drivers knows the roads, the weather and the best viewpoints. Also, ask whether licensed guides join the visits in the kasbahs.
3. The Desert Camp
Meanwhile, the camp shapes your Sahara night. For example, some camps have shared toilets, while others offer private tents with bathrooms. So, ask which camp is used, and read our guide to sleeping under the stars in the Sahara.
4. Camel Ride and Activities
Also, most Morocco group tours with a Sahara desert camp include a camel ride at sunset. However, activities such as quad bikes or sandboarding may be optional. Therefore, check what is included.
5. Meals and Accommodation
In general, group tours including accommodation cover hotels, a desert camp, breakfast and dinner. Lunches are usually extra, so keep some cash for the road.
6. The Route and Number of Days
Finally, choose the right length. For example, our group departures from Marrakech last 3 or 4 days, as explained in our guide to the shared desert tour from Marrakech. For longer routes, such as 7 or 10 days, a private tour is the better choice, for example our 10 days in Morocco from Marrakech.
Small Group vs Private
On the other hand, if you need flexibility, comfort or special requests, choose a private trip. Our 5 day Merzouga tour and 3 day private desert tour adapt to your pace.
