Reviews about our 5 Days Desert Tour Fes to Marrakech
5 days/ 4 nights Fes to Marrakech
This whole tour was an unforgettable experience! We traveled in comfort in an air-conditioned 4x4 through the ever-changing landscape of Morocco. Our excellent Berber guide had an intimate knowledge of the desert and its people and richly explained the culture and traditions of the area.
Ali (our guide) really looked after us, crucially insisting we take extra water on an overnight camel trek over the desert and setting our mind at ease about every stage of the tour with his professionalism and affable personality.
All the accommodation of the tour was top class all with swimming pools to cool down after a hot day in the desert and great breakfasts and evening meals. We would have never had seen or experienced this part of Morocco traveling independently.

5 days/ 4 nights Desert tour Fes to Marrakech
The 5-day desert tour between Fes and Marrakech was an amazing way to see Morocco outside of the cities. The trip was so easy to book, I communicated directly with our tour guide Ibrahim and he answered all questions really quickly.
Although the trip involves a lot of driving don't let that put you off, the car was really comfortable, the scenery was stunning and Ali taught us a lot about the country along the way.
Highlights for me were sitting around the campfire in the Sahara desert listening to traditional Berber drum music and having a go at sandboarding the following morning. It was also a lot of fun getting to know everyone else staying in the camp and the Kasbah riad on the second night; there were 10 of us in total.
Perfect 5 days Desert tour Fes to Marrakech
This great Sahara Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakesh Itinerary is an amazing way to discover the south of Morocco. It gave us an opportunity to travel through the Moroccan desert, crossing the Atlas mountains, we visited the Azrou cedar forest and monkeys (Barbay apes), crossing the Ziz Valley.
The camel trek in Merzouga desert, Erg Chebbi dunes, with a local and camel man was amazing. On the way to the desert camp, we had a pause to watch the sunset in the middle sand dunes, reaching the camp welcoming mint tea the was waiting for us, dinner under the stars and listen to Berber drums music, and spending a night in a nomadic camp.
We left the desert toward the panoramic Todra gorges, Valley of roses, Visit nomad families living in a cave and the kasbahs of Ait Benhaddou, Taourirt, and Teleouat crossing the high Atlas mountains to reach Marrakech.
I Highly recommend this tour to everyone willing to experience the real Morocco.
