Marrakesh Desert Tour
With local guide
Explore the Palmeraie oasis
The most enjoyable excursion
Book easily online

During our Marrakesh Desert Tour you will explore the Palmeraie oasis with a local guide. Discover the hidden beauty of Marrakech and cycle through the desert-like landscape. You could even say that the theme of this tour is “how to survive in the desert”. You will learn all about the history of the oasis and how the locals have survived there for the past 1,000 years.

What will you get to see on the Marrakesh Desert tour?

Our guide will take you to the following places:

Palmeraie oasis
The ancient irrigation system
Traditional villages
Communal village oven
Zelige (traditional tile workshop)
…and much more!

You will meet your guide at our meeting point in the Medina, this is where the adventure begins. After about 15 minutes of cycling, you’ll arrive to the Palmeraie oasis. Along the way you will cycle past posh villas and huge castles, then take the off-track roads to explore small villages in the heart of the oasis. Locals still live here and you’ll learn more about their traditions and daily life

This is the perfect moment to get to know more about the customs of the locals. At the ancient irrigation system, you will discover how precious water is to them. You will also visit the communal village oven and a traditional tile workshop, also called Zelige, to learn more about Moroccan handicrafts. And why are palm trees sacred here? The guide will tell you all about it

Het was een fijne fietstocht buiten Marrakech, de gids wist veel te vertellen en hebben verschillende dorpjes en de Palmeria gezien.

We chose this tour to be a little bit outside of Marrakech and that’s exactly what we got. The group was small, the guide gave enough information of the surroundings. We had a nice lunch. The return into town was top: we went zigzagging through all the narrow roads. It was marvellous!

Really nice tour, nice to see the difference between thr rich and poor people in the palmeraie area and the story about the oasis. Good guide, nice meal with the berbers

Simo was a great guide who took us to the oasis. We also had tea in a small Maroccan village where we walked around while Simo explained about daily life. Very nice trip’

Was zeer interessant en onze leider was vriendelijk. Leide ons netjes kriskrassend de stad uit😅 wat n hele ervaring opzich al was. Had wel wat meer verwacht van stop/visit bij de lokale bevolking. Maar toch erg mooi om het leven buiten de stad te zien .

The guide was friendly, the bikes were okay, but we assumed we would visit the desert because of the tour title. It was a bit misleading, since we did not visit the desert. Overall, a positive experience, but the name of the tour is misleading.
