Private 3 Day Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour
Two Cities, One Epic Crossing
This private 3 day desert tour turns the journey between Marrakech and Fes into the trip itself — cross the High Atlas, explore UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou, wind through the Dades Valley and Todra Gorge, ride a camel at sunset into the Erg Chebbi dunes, then continue north through the Ziz Valley and Middle Atlas cedar forests to Fes.
You travel in your own A/C 4×4 or van with a dedicated English-speaking driver-guide the whole way — no backtracking, no wasted day. Every stop is adjustable, and the route ends in Fes so you never retrace your steps.
3 Days · Marrakech → Merzouga → Fes
Prices are per person, based on shared A/C 4×4/van transport and the group size traveling together.
