Your 2-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour begins with a morning pick-up from your accommodation in Marrakech at around 6:30 AM. Leave the city behind as we make our way toward Merzouga, passing through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we’ll stop to take in panoramic mountain views and stretch our legs.
Lunch will be enjoyed at a restaurant en route, offering a chance to recharge before reaching the desert.
By late afternoon, we’ll arrive at the edge of Merzouga, where a camel caravan awaits to take you across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. This peaceful sunset ride is the perfect introduction to the Sahara.
At the luxury desert camp, a warm welcome and a freshly prepared traditional dinner await you. Later, gather around the campfire for an evening of live Berber music and drumming, followed by stargazing under the vast desert sky. Your day ends with a restful overnight stay in your private en-suite tent, surrounded by the silence and beauty of the Sahara.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at your camp, we’ll begin the journey toward Fes — one of Morocco’s most culturally rich and historic cities. Along the way, you’ll witness landscapes that shift dramatically as we travel.
Our route takes us through the beautiful Ziz Valley, where thousands of palm trees line the riverbanks, creating a lush ribbon of green across the desert. From there, we’ll ascend into the Middle Atlas Mountains, pausing in a peaceful cedar forest where you may spot playful wild monkeys in their natural habitat.
We’ll then stop in Ifrane, a charming alpine-style town known for its pristine streets, flower-lined paths, and European-inspired architecture — a true contrast to the desert surroundings.
By late afternoon, we’ll arrive in Fes, marking the end of your 2-day desert trip from Marrakech. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel or riad with unforgettable memories in tow.
Every camp includes a private tent with an en-suite bathroom to ensure a relaxing and comfortable stay.
