Yes, you CAN reach the real Sahara Desert from Tangier – and it’s one of the most epic trips in Morocco!
Most travelers think the desert is only accessible from Marrakech, but our private northern routes are faster, more scenic (Rif Mountains → cedar forests → Middle Atlas → dunes), and far less touristy than the southern road.
Here are the best desert tours from Tangier that we run every week in 2025 – all private, door-to-door, no shopping stops, luxury or budget camps.
