Our Morocco Helicopter private tours will take you to explore the hidden treasures of this fascinating land of contrast. Whether you are looking for a short flight over the Atlas Mountains or a round trip helicopter flight with an overnight in a luxurious desert camp in the heart of the Sahara desert, our helicopter trips are the perfect choice for you! Our helicopter trips are ideal for people who do not have enough time to drive to the Sahara desert or could not stand a long drive to discover the magic of the desert with its amazing camel rides and dinners around camp fire under bright stars.
We offer Helicopter tours from Marrakech for adventurous travelers to discover the landscapes and attractions of the Atlas Mountains and Berber villages. Flights will often take travelers over Lake Takkerkouste, Ouirgane, Jbel Toubkal, Oukaimeden, and the Ourika Valley. If you are looking for something just that little bit special to do on your holiday to Morocco, it is hard to beat a stunning scenic helicopter flight.
Pick up from your accommodation in Marrakech and transfer in a luxury Van to the international airport of Marrakech where you will begin our exciting Helicopter journey to the Sahara Desert of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. The difference between this helicopter tour package and other land packages is that we can explore Morocco in a more different and exciting way of domestic helicopter flight. After one hour and half of flying you will reach the airport of Errachidia where you will meet your private driver and luxury 4x4 Toyota Jeep. You will drive for about one hour to reach the gate of the Sahara Desert Merzouga where you will continue off road to the luxury desert camp before the sunset. Upon arrival to the luxury camp, you will refresh your body with a cup of mint tea before starting a camel safari to enjoy a beautiful and picturesque sunset over the immense dunes of Erg Chebbi with a view of colorful sky. Then will have delicious dinner at the luxury camp under the sky full of stars with local entertainment.
LAKE TAKKERKOUSTE :
It is situated not far from the pink city Marrakech the Dam of Lake Takkerkouste is a blue splash nestled in the arid landscape. This manmade lake on the edge of the rocky Agafay Desert was built between 1929 and 1935 under the French protectorate to provide Marrakech and the surrounding cities with electricity, and to irrigate surrounding farmland.
OUIRGANE :
The Berber village of Ouirgane nestled in a beautiful landscape of stunning greenery in the heart of the Atlas Mountains in red-earth hills, and lush pine forests. An up and coming destination, Ouirgane is at the heart of the stunning Toubkal National Park.
MOUNT TOUBKAL :
The Mount Toubkal is the highest peak of the Atlas Mountains at 4,167m. From the air, you will be able to get a sense of the scale and grandeur of the Toubkal Massif, dusty and arid in the summer months and snow-dusted in the winter and spring seasons.
OUKAIMEDEN :
It is the main Ski resort in the High Atlas Mountains. In winter, this ski facility operates a ski area served by six ski lifts, at an altitude of between 2,600 and 3,200m.
OURIKA VALLEY :
Ourika Valley is the nearest valley from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains. The river of this beautiful valley flows from the High Atlas down towards Marrakech through this stunning valley, with its red and green rocks, and groves of walnuts, willow and poplar trees.
Tripadvisor previous guests reviews
We were booked and had paid a deposit for a trip late March of 2020, which was canceled due to the pandemic. Said, the owner of MD, went to extraordinary lengths to refund the deposits for our travel group of six from the U.S. Apparently the Moroccan banking system is not "user friendly" when it comes to wire transfers for reasons unclear to me. Nevertheless, Said managed to refund all our money using a very creative approach. We would DEFINITELY travel with MD in the future given this level of honesty and effort; but we do hope that MD will accept credit cards rather than wires in the future. Thank You Said & Morocco Discovery!
Three of use booked a 19-day with Moroccan Discovery Holidays for March, 2020 and paid a 50% deposit. When Morocco closed its borders due to Covid. Initially we put our trip on hold and asked Said to hold our deposit. Said agreed to this. When it appeared holiday travel would likely go on for many months we asked for a refund. Said again agreed but the Moroccan banks, being what they are, refused to release all of our deposit. With some pressure on the bank from us and Said's help we did receive 100% of our deposit.
We planned our April-May 2020 trip to Morocco in the late fall of 2019 and worked with Said at Morocco Discovery. We were taking our adult children and their partners and Said was patient and added everything we wanted and more. One month prior to travel we were surprised by the pandemic, with flights cancelled, borders closed and no idea when we could travel again. Said remained as diligent, helpful and honest throughout the arduous process of refunding our downpayment. We were thrilled with Said, and his company's commitment to customer service and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone travelling to Morocco. As soon as it is safe again it is our intent to rebook with them!
From their already outstanding reviews when I started working with Sayd, this was an amazing experience. I got prompt friendly responses to every question I had and as this was our first trip to Africa I had a lot of questions. The price was incredibly reasonable - I don’t know how they can put the trip together on this budget. We stayed at amazing Riads in every city with excellent food every evening and great breakfasts - our driver was AMAZING- he was always ready wherever we were 1 minute before we needed him. The prearranged guides were the best. If you are going to Morocco - you want to go with Morocco Discovery and you definitely want a driver.
I have to admit, when I first started looking at using a local Moroccan tour company for our trip I was very nervous. After having toured Morocco for 11 days with Morocco Discovery Holidays, I would HIGHLY recommend them without any hesitation. Said worked with me for over a year to come up with a customized trip that included everything we (2 couples) wanted to see and more. Every change I made to the itinerary was completed within hours of my request.. and I made many. Said is very prompt at responding to e-mails and questions. Having a private driver was definitely the ideal way to see Morocco. Our driver, Mohamed was amazing. From the minute he met us at the airport (with sweets to welcome us) until he dropped us off at the port for our journey to Spain, Mohamed could not do enough for us. Mohamed is funny, engaging, very knowledgeable and was totally flexible and I felt very safe at all times, even on the curvy, narrow road. If I wanted him to turn around so I could take a picture, he would…and Did!! LOL Our Riads were beautiful and the meals that were included were some of the best meals we had in Morocco. I cannot say enough about the 5* service and attention we received from Morocco Discovery Holidays and Mohamed during our trip.
Mr Said provided us with a very pleasant and safe driver (Mustafa) as well as a new van, so we had a very enjoyable round trip Casablanca-Rabat-Fes- Marrakech-Casablanca. Local guides accompanied us in Fes and Marrakech, and we could have had other tours but we opted to spend more time walking around the towns. The Riads selected for us were very satisfactory and service all round was great. No hesitation at all in recommending Morocco Discovery.
Said arranged an excellent holiday for us. We began with one of the standard trips as our starting point and adapted it to better suit our needs with an added night here and there and starting in Marrakesh rather than Casablanca. Everything went very smoothly from start to finish.The choice of the Riads in which we stayed was great, as were the guides that were arranged for us. Abdoul proved to be a first rate driver - safe, dependable, friendly and very professional. We felt very comfortable being driven by him and we enjoyed his company.
