Fes is the closest imperial city to the Sahara. From here, cross the Middle Atlas cedar forests and the Ziz Valley to the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, then return to Fes or continue through the gorges and kasbahs to Marrakech. Every tour is private and planned by our local team from Rissani, near Merzouga.
If you only have two days, the 2-day Fes to Merzouga tour gives you a camel ride and a night in the dunes. With three days, the 3-day Fes to Merzouga round trip adds a second night in Merzouga and returns to Fes. To continue to Marrakech, the 5-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour is the most comfortable, with two nights in Merzouga. For a full trip with guided days in Fes and Marrakech, choose the 8-day Fes to Marrakech tour.
Every tour is private. Choose your comfort level, then we adjust the route, hotels and pace to you.
