I can't recommend the 2 Days Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour via Merzouga enough. Visit Maghreb took care of every detail, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The camel ride and Berber music were highlights.
FAQs: 2 Days from Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour
Yes, this is a one-way tour. It is designed to be the most efficient way to travel from Fes to Marrakech while including a full Sahara desert experience. You will not return to Fes.
This is a fast-paced tour designed for travelers with limited time. It involves long driving days but is structured with scenic stops to be enjoyable. If you have more time, we recommend our 3 or 4-day tours for a more relaxed pace.
Your main luggage stays securely in our vehicle. We recommend packing a small overnight bag with essentials for your night in the desert camp to take with you on the camel.
The best times are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when the weather is mild. The tour runs year-round, but summer can be very hot and winter nights can be cold.
Pack comfortable clothing, sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and a warm layer for the desert night. Don’t forget your camera and a power bank to keep your devices charged.
