5 Day Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour – Overview
Private Sahara Trip from Fes to Marrakech in Five Days
Our 5 day Fes to Marrakech desert tour is a relaxed way to cross Morocco from north to south. Instead of long drives, you get short stages and time to explore. You travel in a private car with your own driver-guide. In addition, you sleep in a desert camp, a kasbah hotel and cosy riads.
Day by day through the Atlas and the Sahara
First, you leave Fes and cross the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas. Then you reach the Merzouga dunes, where you ride a camel at sunset and sleep in a desert camp. The next day is free to explore the area, so you can visit nomad families or Gnawa musicians in Khamlia. After that, you walk into the Todra Gorge and follow the Dades Valley.
Kasbahs, film sets and the High Atlas
On the way west, you visit Ouarzazate, the gateway of the desert. Next, you explore Ait Ben Haddou, a mud-brick village used in many famous films. Finally, you cross the High Atlas by the Tizi n Tichka pass and arrive in Marrakech in the afternoon.
A relaxed private trip
Because this trip is private, you can stop wherever you like. Moreover, we adapt the hotels to your budget, from simple to luxury. Short on time? Then take our 3-day desert trip from Fes instead. Contact us today to plan your journey.
