Tour Plan
Your New Year in Morocco adventure begins with a cheerful welcome in Marrakech, the Red City. After breakfast, we start our scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi n’Tichka Pass with panoramic views that feel like stepping into a postcard.
We’ll pause to explore the ancient Ksar Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s more than just a pretty face—it’s a living storybook where time stands still. After soaking in its charm, we make our way to Ouarzazate, known as the "Hollywood of Africa."
But the beauty doesn’t stop there. As we cruise past the fragrant rose valleys of Kelaat M’Gouna, your eyes will fall in love with the contrast of lush greenery and mountain reds. Our night ends in a cozy guesthouse in the dramatic Dades Gorges. Rest, relax, and dream of what's to come.
Overnight in Dades.
After breakfast with a view, we hit the road again, this time toward the mystical Draa Valley. With its endless date palms, ancient kasbahs, and desert villages, this valley whispers tales of old caravan routes.
We journey onward to Zagora, the gateway to the Sahara. You'll feel the air change, softer and warmer, the closer we get to the sands. This part of Morocco is rich with culture and untouched nature.
Tonight, we’ll settle into a charming riad or guesthouse in Zagora. Enjoy traditional Moroccan hospitality and get a taste of desert life as we prepare for the magical New Year’s Eve ahead.
Overnight in Zagora.
The final day of 2025 begins with a visit to Tamgroute, home to one of Morocco’s oldest Quranic libraries and unique green-glazed pottery workshops. It’s a place of knowledge and art, tucked away in the desert.
From there, we head to M’Hamid, where paved roads end and the real desert begins. We swap wheels for a 4x4 and drive into the wild dunes of Erg Chigaga, far from the crowds, where silence speaks and stars sing.
As the golden sun sets on 2025, you’ll hop on a camel and ride across the dunes under a sky painted with fire. This is no ordinary New Year's Eve.
At our desert camp, we’ll gather around the fire for a night of traditional music, feasting, and storytelling under a blanket of stars. Dance barefoot in the sand. Laugh with new friends. Welcome 2026 in a way you'll never forget.
Overnight in Erg Chigaga Luxury Camp.
Wake up to the peace of the Sahara and the golden morning light. After breakfast, our adventure continues across Lake Iriki, a dry salt lake shimmering in the desert air.
As we journey through the wilderness, we reach Foum Zguid, then head to Taznakht, Morocco’s capital of handmade Berber carpets. Here, you’ll see generations of artistry woven into every thread—perhaps even take home a piece of Moroccan soul.
Our day ends in Ouarzazate, where we relax in a charming riad and toast to the new year with mint tea and joy in our hearts.
Overnight in Ouarzazate.
After breakfast, we make our way back to Marrakech, the city of colors and chaos, stories and spices. As we wind through the High Atlas one last time, take in the views, the memories, the emotions.
Let this not be an end, but a beautiful beginning.
This private New Year in Morocco tour closes not with a goodbye, but with a promise—you'll return, again and again, to this land that now feels like a second home.
