Compare routes from AgadirHow the departure cities differ
The Sahara camp is only one part of the decision. Your starting city, duration and final city determine how the desert route fits the rest of your trip.
- Marrakech: three 3-day / 2-night tours, returning to Marrakech or finishing in Fes or Agadir.
- Fes: four tours, including 2-day / 1-night choices and 3-day / 2-night through-routes.
- Agadir: three 3-day / 2-night tours, returning to Agadir or finishing in Marrakech or Fes.
Standard vs Luxury is a camp decision
Standard and Luxury describe the Sahara camp. Your transport remains shared with other guests.
Standard uses a camp at or near the dune edge with shared toilets and showers. Luxury uses a camp deeper within the dunes with a private en-suite bathroom, shower and air conditioning. Exact prices depend on the route.

Desert tour questions
No. Marrakech and Agadir currently use 3-day / 2-night routes. Fes has both 2-day / 1-night and 3-day / 2-night routes.
Standard and Luxury are both shared tours with the same group itinerary; Luxury upgrades the desert camp accommodation, not the transport. Premium Private provides a dedicated vehicle and driver with reasonable flexibility within the trip's duration.
Use your wider Morocco itinerary to decide. A same-city return makes sense when your accommodation or next plan remains there. A through-route can move you toward Marrakech, Fes or Agadir instead of backtracking first.
