One team, two names
Marrakech Eco Tours is known for the High Atlas. The Gates of Sahara gives its desert and old-city journeys a home of their own: the same team and the same partners on the road, with one focus.
That focus is the Sahara and the cities on the way to it. Every journey is private, for your party alone, in your own vehicle with your own driver. We plan them around the days you have and the places you want to see.
How booking works
Four steps, and nothing is paid until you have the route and the price in writing.
Write to us
Use the form or WhatsApp. We reply every day between 08:00 and 20:00 Morocco time, in English, French, Spanish or Arabic.
Get the route and the price
We send the day-by-day route, the dates and the price in writing. Journeys marked “Price on request” are quoted here.
Secure the dates
A deposit of 20% by PayPal or bank transfer holds the dates, and we confirm the booking by email.
Pay the balance on the day
The rest is paid in cash at the start of the journey, or by bank transfer before it. Never by card. Cancel 14 days or more ahead and the deposit comes back, less transfer fees.
