Casablanca 3-day tour
Casablanca, Marrakech and the Agafay Desert sit on one three-day route, so city time, a sunrise balloon and a night at camp are planned together. We'll collect you from your Casablanca hotel on day one and finish with transport back towards Casablanca, or onward in Marrakech if that suits your plans. Hotel nights in the two cities are your own to book, while the desert camp night is included.
The days, step by step
We collect you from your Casablanca hotel on day one for a guided look at the city, then drive inland to Marrakech. Hotel nights in Casablanca and Marrakech are your own to book. The desert camp night later in the trip is included.
Share your Casablanca hotel name when you enquire. Confirm whether you want to finish back toward Casablanca or stay on in Marrakech at the end of day three.
Day two starts with a pre-dawn pickup between 4:30am and 5:30am for the sunrise balloon. You fly for around an hour, then return to base for an open buffet breakfast and a flight certificate.
After breakfast we transfer you out to Agafay for the afternoon, sunset and a Berber-style camp night with dinner included. The balloon is weather dependent and may be rescheduled if conditions are unsafe.
Day three starts with breakfast at camp after dinner under the stars. We then run the return toward Casablanca, or drop you in Marrakech if that suits your onward plans.
Pack layers for city walking, the pre-dawn flight and cooler desert evenings, plus a small overnight bag for the camp night. Families are welcome, though the early flight and moving itinerary should be considered for very young children.
Private transport runs throughout, so you are not arranging the Casablanca, Marrakech and Agafay legs yourself. Meals in the two cities, other than those listed, stay at your choice of restaurants.
The pace is a taste of each place rather than a long stay in one city. Mention any interest in extra nights in Marrakech when you enquire.

ASK ON WHATSAPP MORE QUESTIONSWhere does the trip start and end?
The trip begins with pickup in Casablanca and finishes with transport back towards Casablanca, or onward to your next destination if you prefer to stay in Marrakech.
Let the team know your plans when you enquire so the final leg can be arranged to suit you.
Is accommodation included?
The night at the Agafay Desert camp is included, but hotel accommodation in Casablanca and Marrakech is not part of this package.
This gives you flexibility to choose your own hotels or riads for the city portions of the trip.
How much time do we get in each city?
Day one is spent travelling from Casablanca to Marrakech with guided city time along the way, and day two starts in Marrakech before heading out to the desert.
The pace is designed to give a meaningful taste of each location without feeling rushed, though this is not a deep-dive city break.
What is the desert camp like?
You stay one night in a Berber-style tented camp in the Agafay Desert, with dinner and breakfast included as part of the stay.
It offers a comfortable but simple base for the night, giving a genuine desert experience within the wider trip.
Is the hot air balloon flight guaranteed?
Balloon flights are weather dependent, so while the flight is scheduled as part of day two, it may be rescheduled or adjusted if conditions are unsafe.
The team will advise on alternatives if this affects your itinerary.
Is this trip suitable for families?
Families are welcome, though the early balloon flight and multiple travel days should be considered for very young children.
Share ages when you enquire so the team can advise on suitability for your group.
