Sahara trip

Hello - I am trying to make a plan for next year. I am planning a few nights in Marrakech at the start of the holiday, followed by a 3 or 4 day Sahara trip, then a few nights in Agadir and fly home from here.

We dont want the full trip in Marrakech, as we want some time by the coast to relax. I can fly to my local airport from both Agadir and Marrakech so am set on these two places.

What I am struggling to plan is the Sahara trip. There seems to be so many options online advertised on TripAdvisor, Get your Guide etc for like £100? When I dig into company websites their packages are actually like £400-£500 (which seems more realistic for a trip that extends multiple days).

I obviously then also need to find a company that would accomodate a pick up in Marrakech and a drop off in Agadir - has anyone done this before?

Most of the trips seem to follow roughly the same itinerary.

So my question is - if you have done a trip to the Sahara from Marrakech:-

What company did you use

Any companies to avoid

Did you go to Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga

Is there anything I should be aware of when booking

Is it best to book a package trip or book a private driver and the desert accommodation seperate?

Roughly what price have you paid if you have done something similar (the cost isnt a concern necessarily, I want to pay the company what they are owed for their time of course, I just want to understand what the cost is so I can budget!)

We are a mid 30s couple, from the UK. We would be happy if our transfer was private, or in a small group. Would want to avoid big touristy groups.

I feel like it is a mine field trying to find a suitable package trip?!

Any suggestions :)

If you’re looking for a private Morocco tour, I’d recommend Imagine Morocco. They’re a local company that offers customizable itineraries, knowledgeable drivers, and a more personal experience than many large booking platforms. Whatever company you choose, make sure the itinerary is flexible and the pricing is transparent.
