Our 4-Day Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech is for travelers who want to see much more than the quickest road between the two cities. We take you through the Middle Atlas, across the Sahara and into the kasbah country of southern Morocco before finishing in Marrakech.
The route is varied from the very beginning. You may see cedar forests and mountain towns one day, then palm-filled valleys and wide desert horizons the next. We travel privately, with time for photographs, short walks and stops for tea or local food.

The Sahara between Fes and Marrakech
The desert night is the part many guests remember most. In the afternoon, we ride camels toward the dunes and watch the colour of the sand change at sunset. Later, there is dinner and music at the camp. The next morning begins quietly with the sunrise before we continue the journey.
Selected hotels or riads, the desert camp, breakfast, dinner, private transport and camel trekking are included. Lunches and drinks are not included. A luxury camp upgrade can be arranged if you would like extra comfort.

We had an amazing 4 day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech. We visited stunning sights such as the ancient Ait Ben Haddou (made for the big screen!) and the golden dunes of Merzouga– watching the sun set there was pure magic!

Our 4 day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech was very good. The camel ride in the Sahara was also amazing. It was magical to see the sunset over the dunes.
