We will pick you up early from the airport or your accommodation in Fes to start the 4-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour.

To fully appreciate the beauty of the desert sunrise, it’s important to wake up early in the morning. After breakfast, we’ll ride camels back to Merzouga where the driver will be waiting for us. Our day will be spent exploring the stunning region of Merzouga, which offers a variety of activities such as viewing sand dunes, wild lakes, mines, fossil areas, and oases. Our exploration will begin by off-road driving to an ancient eyeliner mine, followed by a visit to the nomads’ handmade woven tent where we’ll enjoy a cup of Berber tea and learn about their way of life.

The next stop will be Khamlia village, where we’ll experience the Gnaoua music and dance performances.

Reviews & Testimonials

We had an amazing time during our 4-day desert trip from Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga and enjoyed spending time with Hassan and Mustapha. They made us feel relaxed about our trip and we had a lot of fun with both of them; they were a great team! The highlights on the route from Fes to Marrakech were extra special because of their knowledge about everything. We also thoroughly enjoyed the camel ride and the stunning sunset and sunrise in the desert. As someone else has mentioned before, Mustapha was extremely prompt in replying to all of our questions and emails. Thank you again, Adult, Agnes, and Ruben.

I had an incredible trip with breathtaking landscapes that made everything feel extra special. Our guide, Ismail, deserves a special mention for ensuring that the trip was nothing short of unique. The organization was spot on, and we didn't have to worry about anything as everything was perfectly handled. Watching the sunset and sunrise from the dunes was one of the best experiences of my life, and the whole team was very professional and attentive. The hotels were fantastic, and I highly recommend this trip.
