    Why book with Oumoudid Star Tour?

    We are a local Berber team based in Marrakech, and we operate every experience ourselves — no middlemen, no reselling. You talk directly to the people who guide, drive and prepare your trip. This closeness is why 96% of our travellers rate us 5/5 and come back.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I cancel this tour for free?
    Yes. This tour can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours before departure. Beyond that, fees may apply depending on already-committed services (accommodation, guides). Cancellations for force majeure (illness, extreme weather) are reviewed case by case and in most cases lead to a full refund or rescheduling without penalty.
    What is included in the price?
    Transport in a private air-conditioned vehicle, local French-speaking guide (English/Spanish/German on request), entry fees to sites listed in the programme, bottled water on board, and standard tips. Meals, drinks and optional activities are listed separately on the detailed sheet. No hidden costs: every line is broken down before booking.
    What is the maximum group size?
    We operate in small groups of 2 to 17 people, most often 2 to 8. You can privatise this tour for your family or friends without major surcharge — request a custom quote. Larger groups (companies, retreats) are possible: contact us for a tailor-made organisation.
    What should I bring on the day of departure?
    Season-appropriate clothing (light in summer, layered in spring/autumn, a down jacket for evenings in winter), comfortable closed shoes, a cap or hat, sunscreen, and extra water if you wish. For nights in a bivouac, a light sleeping bag is useful but not mandatory (we provide blankets and pillows). Your guide will send the exact list 48h before departure.
    When is the best time of year for this tour?
    This tour runs all year, with seasonal nuances. March to May and September to November offer the mildest temperatures and ideal light for photography. Summer (June-August) is very hot in the south and desert but pleasant at altitude. Winter (December-February) is perfect for snowy High Atlas landscapes and starry desert nights.
    How does payment work?
    We accept payment by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) via 2Checkout, by PayPal and by bank transfer. You can pay the full amount at booking, or opt for 2, 3 or 4-instalment payment with no fees via 2Checkout. A 30% deposit is enough to confirm the booking; the balance is due before departure.
