Overview

The same route as our private 3-day tour, on a fixed daily departure you share with other travellers. Over the Tizi n'Tichka pass, past the UNESCO ksar at Aït Ben Haddou, through the Dades and Todra gorges, then a camel ride into Erg Chebbi and a night at a desert camp. You give up the flexibility to stop where you like; you get the Sahara at a third of the private price.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the private 3-day tour?
Route and overnight stops are the same. What differs is the vehicle and the pace: you share an air-conditioned minibus with up to sixteen others on a fixed schedule, so stops are set rather than yours to choose. The [private version](/en/tours/sahara-3day-marrakech) gives you your own 4x4 and driver-guide, and the freedom to stop where you like — at a higher price per person.
How many people are on a shared departure?
Up to sixteen, and often fewer outside high season. You will be with travellers from several countries; the driver speaks English or French.
What is not included?
Lunches, drinks, tips and entry fees. Dinner and breakfast at the desert camp are included, as are both nights of accommodation and the sunset camel trek.
Do shared departures run every day?
Yes, daily year-round. Very small groups in low season are occasionally merged with the following day's departure — you would be told before booking, not on the morning.

Why book with us directly

Booking platforms charge operators 25–40% commission. Booking direct means the money stays with the family and the guides who walk with you — and you deal with the people running the trek, not a call centre.
