What tailor-made means here
Not a price supplement: an assembly. The building blocks exist — the tracks, the camps, the guides, the guesthouses, the camels — and we combine them around your trip rather than around our pages. A few real examples of what we have put together recently:
- The two-ergs loop — 7 days Marrakech → Merzouga → the N12 → Chigaga → Marrakech, without a single doubled-back kilometre.
- The full crossing — in through Foum Zguid, out through M'hamid, back up the Draa Valley.
- The photographers' desert — 4 days set on the new moon, morning light on the lakebed, camp moved with the wind.
- Three generations — grandparents, parents, kids: short stages, luxury camp, camels for the little ones.
- Rally support — a support vehicle, luggage logistics and camp for crews out on the piste.
- The honeymoon — private camp, dinner for two on the dune, itinerary kept secret from one of the two: our desert honeymoon page has the full formula.
How it works
- Step 1
You write to us on WhatsApp: dates, number of travellers, starting point, wishes and constraints. Five lines are enough.
- Step 2
Within 24 hours you receive a day-by-day itinerary, costed line by line — transport, nights, meals, activities. No opaque package price.
- Step 3
We adjust together: one more stop, one comfort level down, a budget to hold. The quote evolves in front of you.
- Step 4
You approve, we confirm everything in writing, and the desert does the rest.
Where to start
If you are still weighing options, our planning guides help frame the choices: which erg, how many days, which season, what budget. And if a format in the catalogue already matches 90% of what you want, say so: adapting an existing trip is faster and often cheaper than starting from a blank page.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a tailor-made trip cost?
The same as the equivalent trip in our catalogue, within about 10%: tailor-made here is not a luxury tier, it is an assembly. A custom 3-day trip costs like our catalogue 3-day trip; differences come from extra kilometres or a particular accommodation, and the quote lists them line by line.
How fast do we receive a proposal?
A first costed itinerary within 24 hours for simple requests, 48 hours for groups or long routes. Then we adjust together — two rounds of changes are usually enough.
What group sizes are possible?
From 1 person (yes, solo travellers are welcome, with an adapted rate) up to about thirty, in a column of several 4x4s with a privatized camp. Above 12 people we recommend booking at least a month ahead to guarantee the vehicles.
Can you include stops outside the desert?
Yes: Marrakech, Essaouira, the Draa Valley, the gorges, the coast — we build the full loop and subcontract only what is not our trade (city riads, for instance), with full transparency on prices.
