  • S

    Stuart

    Asked on January 26th, 2026

    I really would like to do 2 nights in the desert instead of 1 in a hotel and 1 in the desert. Is there any option for that? Apart from that, with the itinerary as stated, how and when does the ATV ("half day") tour fit in? It doesn't look like there is time for that despite it being an option. Lastly, do you have any pictures of the luxury tent option?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes, we can customize the trip to include 2 nights in the desert instead of one hotel night. This would make the itinerary 4 days / 3 nights, allowing more time to fully enjoy the desert experience.

      The ATV ride is a 1 hour experience in the dunes. Normally, we arrange a half day off-road jeep adventure in the morning and the ATV ride in the afternoon, so it fits comfortably within the schedule.

      The tents are spacious, private, and very well suited for a special anniversary celebration.

    • S

      Stuart

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      Is there any option to go straight to the desert on the first day so that day 2 is essentially spent doing the activities in the desert? Either way, what would the cost be for the trip per person (incl. the 4x4 and ATV rides) for both options?

    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes, it is possible to go straight to the desert on the first day so that your second day is fully dedicated to desert and an authentic experience. You have two main options to consider, depending on whether you prefer a scenic road trip or a quicker flight.

    Jess

    Asked on August 7th, 2025

    Is it possible to catch the late train at Marrakesh to Casablanca at drop off at the end of the trip?

    Transport
    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      We can't guarantee catching the late train from Marrakech to Casablanca on the last day of the trip. It's a long drive back from the desert, and unexpected delays can happen along the way like rain, traffic, or even snow in the Atlas Mountains especially during certain seasons. It's always better to plan for some flexibility on that day just to be safe.

    • J

      Jess

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      Is the price for the single/triple room exclusive for party of 3? In other word, I would need to sign up in the double or solo accommodation?

    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      If you have 2 other guests joining you, we can simply book the trip for 3 people and the departure will be confirmed right away. If it ends up being just your group, it would essentially be a private tour, and the price for 3 people would be 326 USD per person standard package. Luxury Package: 450 USD per person.

    • J

      Jess

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      Do you have any confirm tour dates that I can join in for sure?

    • Morocco Joy TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      We do have several confirmed group departures that you can join: 6 Days Best of Morocco (September 15–20, 2025), 6 Days Best of Morocco (October 10–15, 2025), 4 Days / 3 Nights Sahara Experience (October 12–15, 2025). All of these tours are guaranteed to run, so you're welcome to join any of them.
