We will travel through the palm groves of Touroug and Tinjdad. We will stop for lunch along the way. By the afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga, where you will switch to camels for a trek across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. Watch a magical sunset before reaching your luxury desert camp.

Best Time to Book the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour 3 Days

Booking a 3-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour is best in spring (March to May) or fall (September to November), when temperatures are mild. This weather ensures comfortable desert exploration and camel trekking, with pleasant daytime heat and cool nights, ideal for luxury desert camp stays. Summer (June to August) in Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes can exceed 45°C (113°F), but those who manage the heat with hydration and sun protection can still enjoy it. Winter (December to February) brings cooler days and chilly nights, with near-freezing temperatures, but offers stunning clear skies perfect for stargazing. Booking in advance is advised for the best rates and availability, especially during peak seasons in spring and fall when Marrakech desert trips are in high demand. Early reservations ensure better accommodations and travel arrangements for private or shared tours.

Tour Duration Options for the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour

The Marrakech to Fes desert tour offers flexible durations, allowing travelers to choose between 2, 3, 4, or 5-day options based on their time and interests. The 2-day tour is ideal for those with limited time, offering a quick journey through the desert with a night stay in a luxury desert camp in Erg Chebbi. However, it skips key sites like Dades Valley and Todra Gorges. The 3-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour is the most popular, featuring stops at Ait Ben Haddou, Todra Gorges, and the Draa Valley, along with camel trekking and an unforgettable night under the stars in the Sahara. Those seeking a deeper experience can opt for the 4 or 5-day tour, which includes extra time in Berber villages, the Draa Valley, and activities like quad biking or sandboarding. Each option ensures breathtaking desert landscapes, cultural encounters, and an authentic Moroccan adventure.
