Welcome to our Active and Cultural Tours of Morocco — an unforgettable eight-day overland adventure across the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert. This small-group expedition through the Great South of Morocco is designed for nature lovers, explorers, and cultural travelers who wish to experience Morocco beyond the ordinary.
Travel through lush valleys, ancient Kasbahs, palm groves, and Berber villages, following historic caravan routes toward the dunes of Merzouga and Erg Chebbi. Trek across desert trails, discover breathtaking landscapes in the Draa Valley and Todra Gorge, and witness the changing colors of the Sahara at sunset.
The highlight of the journey is an authentic Sahara desert camp under a sky full of stars, where silence, wind, and golden dunes create one of the most memorable experiences in Morocco.

“More in eight days than four previous trips combined”
I have been to Morocco four times. I saw more in eight days with Sarah Discoveries than in all four previous visits combined. The scholar host at Al-Qarawiyyin completely changed how I understand Islamic architecture.

“The tanneries from the inside — extraordinary”
Every other operator shows you the tanneries from a balcony. We entered through the leather workers' door. The smell is intense and the colours in morning light are unlike anything I've photographed.
