Tangier Tours: Private Morocco Trips From the Strait of Gibraltar to the Sahara

Tangier Tours: Where Morocco Begins at the Edge of Two Continents

You have just arrived in Tangier. Europe is a short stretch of water away, the call to prayer drifts over the whitewashed medina, and the whole of Morocco lies to the south. So where do you go next?

Our answer: all the way to the Sahara. Our Tangier tours connect the north of Morocco to the desert. You travel through blue-washed Chefchaouen, the old medinas of Fes and the Atlas Mountains before reaching Merzouga, where you ride a camel at sunset and spend the night in a desert camp. The trips last 6 to 15 days and are private.

We are a Moroccan team with more than 20 years of experience in tourism and family roots in the desert region, so we do not just show you the country, we introduce you to it.

Here is what you will find in this guide:

• A 6-day tour from Tangier to Marrakech for a first taste of Morocco
• An 8-day one-way journey from Tangier to Casablanca
• A 15-day grand tour for travelers who want the complete picture

You can browse them all on our Tangier tours page.

Why Start Your Morocco Tour in Tangier?

Tangier is the gateway to northern Morocco. It is the natural starting point if you arrive by ferry from Spain or fly in from Europe, and it saves you the long journey up from the south. We can also arrange private airport and intercity transfers, so your trip starts smoothly from the first hour.

The city is worth a little of your time before you head inland. If you have a spare morning, look at:

• The medina and the Kasbah, with narrow lanes, old doors and views across the Strait of Gibraltar.
• The Grand Socco and Petit Socco, the lively squares where locals meet, shop and drink mint tea.
• Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules, just outside the city, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean.
• A mint tea on a terrace overlooking the sea, the simplest way to feel the city’s slower rhythm.

After that, the road leads to Chefchaouen, Fes, the Atlas Mountains, palm oases and the dunes of the Sahara.

When is the best time to go?

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most comfortable seasons for Tangier tours and Sahara trips, with warm days and pleasant evenings. Summer is very hot in the desert, and winter nights in the dunes can be cold. Our Tangier tours run year-round, so you can travel when it suits you.

Why Travel With Sahara Desert Crew?

We believe a trip through Morocco should be about more than getting from A to B. We want you to meet people, taste things you cannot pronounce yet and come home with stories, not just photos.
