From Marrakech: Unforgettable 3-Day Desert Tour to Fes

Description

What sets this journey apart is the care behind every detail. We keep groups small and the pace relaxed, so you can soak in the silence of the dunes and share mint tea with our Berber crew without a crowd around you. You'll cross Morocco's most dramatic landscapes in comfort: the Tizi n'Tichka pass, the UNESCO kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, the Todra Gorge and the palm groves of the Draa Valley. Our local drivers are experienced and proud of their home, sharing stories you won't find in a guidebook. At Merzouga, you'll ride a camel into camp at sunset, sleep under a sky thick with stars, and wake for an unforgettable sunrise over the dunes. We finish in Fes, not back in Marrakech, so you cross the country end to end and never retrace your steps. From your first pickup to your final drop-off, you're looked after by a team that does this every day and loves it.

An unforgettable experience

Great 3-day experience in the desert. A big thank you to our guide Medhi, who was both very professional and very personable. Always attentive to the group, passionate about his job, and exceptionally kind. He is the kind of person who makes a trip even more memorable; without him, it would not have been the same. I recommend without hesitation, especially with him! Ana

Yalla Yallaaa

Fantastic experience! The three days were organized very well: the long van rides flew by thanks to the various coffee breaks and photo stops at the most scenic points. An impeccable organization that made the itinerary feel light. The driver Moussine was exceptional, with a safe and calm driving style. A special shout-out to Nour, an extraordinary guide: super accommodating, enriched the trip with great music and many interesting anecdotes about Morocco.

Yalla! 🐪🌞

Very good trip with our driver Brahim, who was very considerate and friendly! The experience in the desert went very well; the camp was comfortable despite the lack of water in the showers and the evening show, which was brief. The timing was perfect for the camel rides to admire the sunset and sunrise; it was really great!

Beautiful place

Great driver and great experience Was not expecting such a crowd in the desert but still enjoyed the activities, lots of beautiful things to see ! Thought we would do more stop/visit on the way to Merzouga, but i guess it’s because of the length of the drive that it’s limited. Thanks to the staff !
