Yes. A private 7-day route covering Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains, Ait Ben Haddou and the Sahara desert gives you a well-rounded first trip without feeling rushed, especially with a private driver-guide who can adjust the pace.
A loop from Marrakech through the Atlas Mountains, Ait Ben Haddou, the Dades and Todra Gorges, and the Merzouga dunes, returning via Ouarzazate, covers imperial city culture, mountain scenery and the desert in one trip.
A private driver-guide is worth it for a first visit: you can stop for photos, adjust timings, and skip the fixed schedule of a group bus tour.
