Enjoy camel rides at sunset, savor traditional Moroccan cuisine, and soak in the desert’s serenity. As you continue towards Marrakech, you’ll explore ancient Kasbahs, visit historical landmarks like Ait Ben Haddou, and wander through bustling authentic spots.
Our 5 days desert tour from Fes to Marrakech begins with a departure from your Hotel/Riad in Fes. We’ll head to Ifrane, often referred to as the “Moroccan Switzerland,” and later, we’ll pause at the Cedar Forest to observe monkeys playing in the trees. Next, we’ll traverse the Middle Atlas Mountains to reach the Ziz Valley, known for its extensive palm groves and oasis communities in southern Morocco. Our journey continues to Erfoud before finally reaching the Merzouga desert, where you’ll spend the first night at a traditional Riad.
In the afternoon, you’ll embark on a 1.5-hour camel ride to reach the desert camp. During the ride, there will be stops amidst the dunes to witness the sunset, try optional sandboarding, capture photos, and soak in the surroundings. After the sun sets, you’ll continue to the camp, where you’ll be greeted with mint tea, enjoy dinner, a campfire, and a music gathering, and spend the night in a luxurious Merzouga desert camp, complete with breakfast and dinner.
During the 3rd day of our 5 Days Fes to Marrakech desert tour, our adventure takes us to Rissani, where we’ll explore the town and its historical market. Our journey then leads us to several Berber villages, such as Mellab, Tinjdad, and Jourf, renowned for their ancient irrigation wells. Our next destination is the Todra Valley, with its impressive 300-meter-tall canyons in the Todra gorges. The water’s force has skillfully carved its path through the rock crevices. We’ll take a stroll within the gorge before proceeding to the Dades Valley, where we’ll spend the night.
After breakfast, a visit to the Dades gorges and a short walk there is scheduled. Back at the car, the trip to Ouarzazate continues, We will continue through the Valley of the Roses, famous for its Rose Festival in May. Cosmetics and toiletry items are produced and valued throughout the country. In Skoura and the oasis there, we will visit the Kasbah of Amridil. The kasbah has been beautifully restored and gives a clear idea of life within such housing. It is made entirely of adobe, an excellent building material; warm in winter and cool in summer due to the thickness of the walls. 45 minutes later, you reach Ouarzazate, where we will visit the Atlas studio and have a short look at Taourirt Kasbah. Overnight stay in Ouarzazate.
After our visit to Ouarzazate, we will cover a distance of approximately 27 kilometers to reach Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, which holds the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This extraordinary location has served as the backdrop for numerous Hollywood productions like “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Gladiator,” “Kingdom of Heaven,” “Prince of Persia,” and more. The Kasbahs, or fortresses, exhibit the distinctive and captivating Moroccan architecture and culture. Once we’ve explored the kasbah, our journey will continue through the High Atlas Mountains, traversing the “Tichka pass,” ultimately leading us to Marrakech where our 5-day Moroccan Desert itinerary from Fes ends.

Alice N2024-08-22A journey into the heart of the Sahara Choosing Desert Discovery Tour was the best decision we could make for our trip to Morocco! Much more than a tour, but an authentic journey into places and culture. This was made possible by Mustapha, a local Guide who took us on this 5-day adventure to discover so much of Morocco and the peoples who inhabit it. A tailor-made and flexible tour, with carefully chosen locations, hotels and restaurants. Rely on them if you want to make an AUTHENTIC journey!❤️Verified
Jo G2024-08-20Perfectly organised trip - Desert Discovery Tours highly recommended I usually research and book every aspect of our trips, so it was with some trepidation that I let Desert Discovery Tours handle our entire itinerary in Morrocco. I needn’t have worried as everything was fantastic – from the lovely boutique hotels, riads and luxury desert camp to the incredible sites, interesting and informative tours, and comfortable private van (with AC). We flew into Tangier for a 10-day tour of northern Morocco, including Chefchaouen, Fes, the Sahara Desert, the Atlas Mountains, and Marrakesh. Mustafa was very responsive in the run up to the vacation and from the minute Mustafa picked us up from the airport, everything ran like clockwork. Our driver, Mustafa (# 2), couldn’t have been more accommodating. Desert Discovery Tours is a small family run business and it shows in their attention to detail and their attitude to customer service. Highly recommended.Verified

At first he was simply our Guide, but soon became a real member of the group. With his in-depth knowledge of the territory and his welcoming character, he made the trip even more special. He accompanied us at every stage, always making us feel at ease and transmitting the love for his land. The facilities we stayed in were excellent, perfectly in line with the atmosphere of the trip and always comfortable. The organized experiences were also extraordinary, allowing us to discover every aspect of Morocco, from its breathtaking landscapes to its most intimate traditions. I strongly Recommendation everyone to experience Morocco with this agency. It was a unique experience that will remain forever in our hearts.Verified
F**2024-08-18Amazing It was an incredible experience. In 13 days leaving Marrakech we visited the desert, the mountains, the north and the coast to Casablanca. Our companion, Mr. Brahim was very kind and helpful, always very attentive to every need and considerate, worried that everything for us was perfect. All accommodations were comfortable and we had local guides in the cities, we also stayed in a Desert Resort for one night and then, the next day, with an off-road vehicle we went to discover its places. We have hearts full of every encounter made, every image seen and food tasted. The organization was impeccable and attentive to our needs to spend a few days in tranquility at the sea.Verified

Hector M2024-07-19Highly recommend Desert Discovery Tours & Morocco Travels Would highly recommend Desert Discovery Tours & Morocco Travels. I visited Morocco as a solo traveler and ordinarily I would have trotted around the country on my own. However, I had a little trepidation about driving. I am so glad I used this agency, because not only did they take care of transport, they made the entire trip fun and easy. My guide, Brahim, was awesome! In fact, I almost had a medical emergency one evening, and he came to the rescue. Both he and Mustapha provided the best customer service and went above and beyond in making my Morocco trip memorable. Thanks guys, really appreciate all your efforts!Verified
Iwona P2024-07-13Magical lifetime experience delivered by an exellent guide and drive Mustapha Our 8-day private trip across the country from Casablanca thru Marrakech, Dades Valley, Merzouga Desert, Fes, Chefchaouen and Rabat ending in Casablanca was absolutly magical thanks to our amazing guide and driver Mustapha N. DDT delivered 100% what was planned and we highly recommend this company. They were very professional, accomodating and flexible from the planning stages with Mustapha O. to the smooth execution of the daily schedule by Mustapha N. He made our adventure safe, worry-free and very authentic as he knows his land, history, culture and traditons, and is happy to share it. The camel ride and the night in the desert were amazing and the rest was simply unforgettable. The hotel and riads choices and recommended restaurants were awesome. Although we covered a lot of distance, different roads and terrain, the quality of the spacious van with AC and Mustapha's drivinig skills made it all doable and enjoyable. Besides, he is an easygoing, friendly man with great people and communication skills, and it was an absolute pleasure to spent 8 days with him. Thank you DDT and Mustapha N. for trully unforgettable vacation. We will recommend your services to everybody.Verified
