Golden Light, Iconic Landscapes & the Time to Capture Them
Morocco packs an unusual range of light and landscape into one country: the blue-washed alleys of Chefchaouen, the red earth kasbahs of Aït Benhaddou, the gold of the Sahara dunes at sunrise, and the quiet chaos of a medina before the crowds arrive. Most of it looks best in the first and last hour of light, exactly when a standard group tour is on a coach somewhere else.
Every tour is 100% private to your group, with a driver-guide who times stops for golden and blue hour, knows which viewpoints get crowded and when, and is happy to wait while you get the shot rather than moving you along to stay on schedule.
As a registered tour operator founded by Nourddine, a Moroccan native, we build the route around the light and the locations that matter to you, and handle the logistics so you can focus on the camera.

Dune ridges at first and last light, camel silhouettes against the horizon, and a night at a desert camp far from any light pollution.

The blue-washed alleys of Chefchaouen in the early morning quiet, before the streets fill with other visitors.

The red earth walls of Aït Benhaddou at golden hour, plus Atlas villages and kasbah architecture along the way.
Stops planned around sunrise and sunset, not whenever the coach happens to arrive.
Desert camps far from light pollution, ideal for the hour after sunset and beyond.
Time to compose the shot properly, rather than a five-minute photo stop.
Chefchaouen, Aït Benhaddou and the medinas, photographed before the crowds fill the frame.
See something worth stopping for? Just say the word.
A guide who knows where to go and how to ask permission respectfully for portraits.
No fixed group to keep up with. The day moves at your pace.
A proper camp to rest in between shoots, not a rushed overnight stop.

This personal trip was about regrouping and thinking for what's ahead for 2025. I chose The Edgewater because I took my kids and grandkid there the weekend prior to Christmas for festivities in Seattle, and I saw an awesome TikTok about the hotel. That marketing strategy definitely reeled me into the property. In that first stay, we had the opportunity to be in a water suite on one day and city suite the second day, which wasn't originally planned but was an amazing opportunity for my family and me. On this second trip, it was all about me. I scheduled a nice hotel room with city views, which did not disappoint. The room was elegant and the bathroom was beautiful with it's mountainous stone decor. The shower gave the right pressure of hot water, which is a plus if you want to relax in a steam like environment. The part of this review takes a negative into a positive turn. After placing my bags into my room, I headed to the bar for a drink. Sat at the bar and asked the young bartender for a chocolate martini, something different on the last day of the year. He just arrived on shift, and said he would be happy to oblige. However, someone above him came to him to say that the bar was closed and they were closed until the New Year's gathering in the bar / restaurant. There was no sign that the bar was closed due to patrons sitting in the lounge area of the bar and restaurant. When the person who stopped the bartender at the beginnings of making the drink decided to not accommadate, I went to the front desk to state to maybe it would be best to add signage for all guests to know that the bar was closed and to ensure that front staff and all staff were aware prior to shift of the bar being closed for guests staying at the hotel. After that time, I never returned to the bar for the duration of my stay, and ordered room service the entirety of that time. I went there for alone time, I got it. I explained all of this to say, business is business but in customer service and hospitality, all guests should be accommodated on simple requests, such as making a drink on the last day of the year. The highs were the rest of the staff that made my stay very welcoming - LaRelle, Jesse, Lydia, Dave, Thomas, Selena, and Gabe. Those that work in wait staff, valet, and the resturant staff that brought my food order to my room both New Year's night and New Year's morning; both were wonderful people and very friendly. The Edgewater is a beautiful, serene, and elegant property located perfectly on the Elliott Bay. The views are gorgeous, and my favorite views are on the water. I gave a five star for both visits within one week of each other. Would I come back again? I would because staff can either make or break a trip, and the staff there (outside of the one) made the trip for me.Posted on Tripadvisor Jan KVerified Tour through Marrakesh with dinner Had an awesome time in Marrakesh!

Abdou, our guide cum driver, took care of us very well. I will highly recommend this tour company.Posted on Tripadvisor Explorer62409321012Verified Sahara trip 2024 We booked a private luxury tour with Sahara luxury travel for 4 night from Marrakech to merzouga and back. We travel through atlas mountains, rose valley, atlas studio, dades valley. We trekked into the Sahara via camel ride, stayed in a luxury tent, which has private shower and toilet. We enjoyed homemade Berber pizza! Which was the best food we enjoyed in Morocco. The family was so welcoming and the pizza was simple and savoy! We stayed in one tent and two hotels, dinners and breakfast was included. Our guide Abdul was awesome. If you plan to go. Then book it. It was a safe trip, people were wonderful, food was good, I loved the pizza and the tagines! Pictures and memories are once in a life time. Since it was a luxury tour, we were able to adjust what we wanted to see.
Few countries pack in as much visual variety as Morocco: the blue alleys of Chefchaouen, the red kasbahs of Aït Benhaddou, the gold of the Sahara at sunrise, and medinas that come alive at dawn before the crowds arrive. As a registered tour operator founded by a Moroccan native, Trek Morocco Desert plans private, tailor-made photography tours built around the light and locations you’re chasing.
From desert dunes to mountain kasbahs to coastal medinas, Morocco’s landscapes change dramatically from region to region, often within a single day’s drive, giving photographers a wide range of subjects without constant long transfers.
Group tours move through iconic spots at whatever time suits the coach schedule, which is rarely golden hour. A private tour is timed around sunrise, sunset and blue hour instead, with desert camps chosen away from light pollution for anyone interested in night skies.
Every tour is 100% private, so the vehicle stops when you see a shot worth taking rather than sticking rigidly to a schedule. A registered operator founded by Nourddine handles the logistics, so you can focus on composing the image.
