3-Day Marrakech to Fes Tour: Desert Camp & Ait Ben HaddouA 3-day guided tour from Marrakech to Fes crossing the High Atlas Mountains, the UNESCO site of Ait Ben Haddou, and the Sahara Desert with an overnight stay in a Berber-style desert camp. The tour includes a camel ride at sunset across Erg Chebbi's golden dunes, traditional Moroccan dinner and breakfast, and a driver-guide who speaks English and Spanish; you travel with a small group of up to 18 people in a shared vehicle. Lunches and drinks are not included, and a guide at Ait Ben Haddou can be hired separately for about 20 MAD per person.Is it for me?Book this if you want a guided route through the imperial cities and Sahara in one trip with transport included; choose the standard camp for shared accommodations or upgrade to deluxe for a private tent.
Marrakech to Fes: Sahara Desert Tour, Camel Trek & Luxury CampYou’ll cross from Marrakech’s busy streets through Atlas mountain passes, wander ancient kasbahs, ride camels across Erg Chebbi dunes, and share music by firelight in a luxury Sahara camp. Expect laughter, unexpected silences, mint tea under stars—and memories you’ll keep replaying long after you reach Fes.
Marrakech to Fez Desert Trip: Kasbahs, Camel Ride & GorgesYou’ll wind from Marrakech over the Atlas Mountains to Fez, pausing for mint tea at Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, exploring ancient kasbahs like Aït Ben Haddou, sleeping under Saharan stars after a camel ride across Erg Chebbi dunes, and sharing laughter (and bread) with Berber hosts along the way.
4-Day Desert Tour Marrakech to Fes: Camel Ride & Merzouga CampA 4-day tour from Marrakech to Fes via Merzouga, crossing the Atlas mountains and Todra Gorges to reach the Erg Chebbi dunes. You ride camels at sunset and sunrise, spend two nights in a Berber tent camp in the middle of the desert, visit a nomad family, and watch the sand dunes from the highest points. Hotel pickup and an air-conditioned vehicle are included; the guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese or French.Is it for me?The tour runs on a fixed schedule across four full days with early starts and long drives, which is what keeps the Atlas passes, the Todra Gorges, the desert camp and the cedar forests all inside one itinerary. The camel rides and nights under canvas are the core of it; if you want a faster route or fewer nights in the desert, a shorter Merzouga trip from Marrakech would suit you better.
Marrakech to Fes: 3-Day Desert Tour & Luxury CampYou travel from Marrakech through the High Atlas and Dades Valley to Merzouga, where you ride a camel into Erg Chebbi at sunset and sleep in a luxury desert camp. The next morning, after a sunrise trek, you drive north through the Ziz Valley and cedar forests, arriving in Fes by evening. Hotel stays, meals, camel rides, and a professional guide are included; you handle only your own pace and what you want to photograph.Is it for me?Choose this if you want to cross Morocco in three days without arranging transport, camps, or meals separately — the fixed itinerary and included guide handle the logistics, leaving you to focus on the drive, the dunes, and the shift from mountains to desert to another city entirely.
3-Day Marrakech to Fes Tour: Merzouga Desert & Camel TrekA 3-day guided tour from Marrakech to Fes that crosses the High Atlas, visits the UNESCO site of Ait Benhaddou, and spends a night in the Merzouga desert with camel treks at sunset and sunrise. The tour includes two nights' accommodation, a professional driver, a vehicle with fuel, and sandboarding on the dunes; you choose your guide's language (English, Spanish, Portuguese or French) at checkout. Lunch, drinks and tips are separate.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're arriving in Marrakech and want to reach Fes without renting a car or coordinating your own transport across the Atlas and desert—the fixed itinerary and included driver mean the three days hold together without you building them. The overnight in the Berber camp is the draw: most travelers see the Sahara as a day trip from a city; this one lets you sleep there.
3-Day Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour: Camel Ride & Berber CampA 3-day guided tour from Marrakech to Fes that crosses the high Atlas Mountains, stops at the UNESCO-listed kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, descends into Todra Gorge, and ends with a camel ride across Erg Chebbi sand dunes and an overnight stay in a Berber desert camp. The tour includes two nights' accommodation with meals, an air-conditioned vehicle, hotel pickup and drop-off, and a live guide in English, Spanish, Italian or French. Lunches are not included.Is it for me?The early 7:30 am start and full three days of driving mean this tour moves at a steady pace with long hours in the vehicle, which is what fits the distance from Marrakech to Fes and allows the camel ride, the Berber camp night, and the major stops—Ait Ben Haddou, Todra Gorge, and the Atlas crossings—into a single journey.
Morocco Desert Tour Marrakech to Fez: Camel Rides MerzougaThis 3-day guided tour departs Marrakech, crosses the High Atlas Mountains through Berber villages and the Tizi-N'Tichka Pass, stops at the UNESCO-listed Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, descends into Dades Gorge for the first night, then reaches Merzouga Desert on day two for sunset and sunrise camel rides and an overnight stay in a Berber tent under the stars. The tour ends in Fez on day three. A driver and air-conditioned transport are included throughout; meals, guides in English, Spanish, French or Arabic, and optional activities like sandboarding or ATV rental are available depending on the option you choose at checkout.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you're arriving in Marrakech and want to reach Fez without renting a car or arranging your own transport—the route, the camel rides, and the desert camp are all set, so you move through three regions and two very different landscapes without building the itinerary yourself. The 3-day length gives you time to cross the mountains, spend a full day and night in the desert, and still reach Fez by evening, which a shorter tour can't do.
3-Day Desert Tour Marrakech to Fes: Camel Rides & Sahara CampA 3-day guided tour from Marrakech through the Atlas Mountains to Fes, with two nights of accommodation (one in a hotel in the rose valley, one in a nomad tent at a Merzouga desert camp), camel treks across the Sahara, sand boarding, and hotel pickup and drop-off included.

A live guide speaks English, Spanish or French, and you travel in an air-conditioned vehicle.Is it for me?Choose the Deluxe Camp Tent option if you want the most comfortable desert night; the Standard and Premium options offer different levels of camp amenities, so pick based on how much comfort matters to you in a nomad tent.

Children are welcome from age 6.Is it for me?Book this if you're traveling from Marrakech to Fes and want the desert crossing built into your route—a three-day itinerary moves you between both cities while you experience sand dunes, canyons, and a night under the stars, rather than treating the drive as separate from the experience.
