Tour Overview
This 2 days Fes to Marrakech desert tour is the fastest way to experience the Sahara while traveling between two of Morocco’s most iconic cities. It’s a long journey, but carefully planned to give you real highlights in a short time — from the Middle Atlas landscapes to the dunes of Merzouga, and finally across the High Atlas Mountains to Marrakech.
You’ll leave Fes early, pass through Ifrane and the cedar forests of Azrou, then continue south via the Ziz Valley to reach the desert. In Merzouga, you’ll enjoy a camel ride, watch the sunset over the dunes, and spend the night in a desert camp.
The next day is a scenic drive through southern Morocco: Rissani, Todra Gorge, and the kasbah route toward Ait Ben Haddou, before crossing the mountains to Marrakech.
This tour is ideal for travelers with limited time who still want a real Fes to Marrakech desert experience.
