Questions & Answers
Shared Day Trips — what guests ask
Shared means you join a small group of other travellers in the same air-conditioned minibus rather than booking a private vehicle just for your party. The route, pickup and published per-person price are the same for everyone on that departure.
We do not publish a guaranteed daily schedule. Shared departures are confirmed for your specific date in writing before you pay, which is why every row in the table above says "departure confirmed per date" rather than "daily". Send your date and we will tell you whether that departure is running.
A shared departure has a fixed published per-person price and a shared vehicle. A private tour uses your own vehicle and driver at a per-car or per-group price, with a flexible pace and stops confirmed in writing. Several of the trips below also have a private version — ask and we will confirm which basis a given date is running on.
A contractual passenger maximum is not published on this site, so the table shows the vehicle format rather than a number we cannot stand behind. Ask for the maximum for your specific date and we will confirm it in writing with your booking.
Yes — every shared day trip listed here includes round-trip pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech (medina, Gueliz, Hivernage or the Palmeraie) and drop-off at the end of the day. For deep-medina riads that vehicles cannot reach, the driver meets you at the nearest accessible vehicle point.
Use the enquiry form or the WhatsApp button on this page with the trip and your preferred date. We usually reply within 30 minutes on WhatsApp during operating hours and confirm the pickup time, the final total and the terms in writing before any payment.
Yes — if you'd rather do an evening desert experience close to Marrakech than a full daytime day trip, the Agafay Desert Sunset & Dinner runs from 14:00 to 22:00 (quad biking, camel ride, buffet dinner and a fire show) rather than as a shared daytime trip.
