Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour – Overview
3-Day Private Desert Trip from Fes to Marrakech
Our Fes to Marrakech desert tour is the fastest way to add the Sahara to your Morocco trip. In three days, you cross the Middle Atlas, sleep in the dunes and finish in Marrakech. You travel in a private car with your own driver-guide. In addition, the route links two of the most famous cities in the country.
From cedar forests to golden dunes
First, you leave Fes and drive through Ifrane, the little Switzerland of Morocco. Then you pass cedar forests, where Barbary macaques often play by the road. After that, the road drops through the Ziz Valley with its long palm groves. In the late afternoon, you ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes and spend the night in a desert camp.
Gorges and kasbahs on the way to Marrakech
On day two, you visit the Todra Gorge, where the cliffs rise high above a clear stream. Next, you follow the road of a thousand kasbahs through the Dades Valley. On the final day, you stop at Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO site. Finally, you cross the High Atlas by the Tizi n Tichka pass to Marrakech.

This trip is private, so you choose where to stop for photos and meals. We can also upgrade your desert camp to a luxury tent. Would you like a slower pace? Then see our 5-day desert trip from Fes. Contact us today to plan your dates.
