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.

EXCELLENTBased on 230 reviewsVerifiedFrances S2024-11-19A perfect desert tour! My mother and I did a short tour from Marrakesh out to the desert and then back to Fez. Mustafa was our guide and was absolutely incredible. He is so knowledgeable and kind and answered our thousands of questions! He was also super flexible and willing to make adjustments to our itinerary to accommodate our interests and energy at different points. The team organized a great tour, including wonderful places to stay. I’m always a little nervous about having a tour company book my hotels, but they made great choices. Strongly recommend arranging your travel with Desert Discovery Tours!!VerifiedAlex D2024-11-13An amazing and friendly experience across the Country We spent 4 days from Marrakesh to Merzouga and has been a very lovely time!The guide Youssef was very nice person, providing lot of information about the places we visited and local lifestyle and culture.

Ibrahim is a great Guide and driver. Nature is fantastic. Desert and Fez Medina were our highlights.VerifiedJyothi R2024-10-26Amazing Desert trip Booked a 3 night 4 day tour from Fez to Marakesh. I knew we were going to have an adventure straight out of the Arabian Nights when our guide and driver,Hassan,dressed in his Berber costume, picked us up. We donned our scarves, morphed into Fatema and Katija, and took off on a magic carpet, aka Toyota Prado.The legendary Mustapha stopped to greet us along the way. Hassan was very knowledgeable about the desert and its people. He showed us newly formed lakes after the recent rains. He called restaurants ahead of us to request a variation on the vegetarian tagine after we told him we had one too many of those. He materialized clean toilets with tissue. We were entertained with local music, which we sang and danced to along the way. The choice of accommodation was superb. We were so impressed that we used DDT for a further 4 days in Marakech. Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Mustapha and Hassan for a memorable tripVerifiedFrancesco V2024-10-25Amazing Trip The trip was amazing!

Morocco and its people will remain in my heart forever.VerifiedDuncan Crossley2024-10-01An absolutely unforgettable and fabulous experience in Morocco. I joined the group in Chefchaouen on the 26 of September and stayed with my Italian friends till the 29 of September. I was only able to stay for part of the tour due to work commitments in Italy. However, during the three days that I was with the group and our excellent driver and guide Brahim, I had a brilliant time and experience. It was my fifth visit to Morocco and perhaps the best. Desert Discovery Tours & Morocco Travels is a very professional organization, providing excellent service to its customers. Brahim was kind, generous and very helpful at all times. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited and always concerned that we were treated well and had a good time. The hotel accomodation and meals provided were very good indeed. We visited a series of fascinating and beautiful places in Morocco. I would recommend Desert Discovery Tours to anyone who wants to get to know Morocco with the maximum of comfort and minimum of hassle. A truly 5* experience. Thank you so much for a magical and unforgettable experience in Morocco.VerifiedKate F2024-08-29Unforgettable experience! Do not hesitate to book your tour through this company. From the booking process to the end of the tour it was was stress free, flexible with a high level of professionalism. Our guide and driver Mustapha N made our trip so special. He's delightful, professional, a fabulous driver, has a wealth of knowledge about his country and a high moral conscious that is a testament to his parents and culture. A special mention of Amen, the tour guide Mustapha arranged for us in Fez. So passionate and knowledgeable, a fantastic day with him. All our accommodations chosen by DDT were beautiful. Thank you DDT and especially Mustapha for going above and beyond for us.VerifiedJo 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.VerifiedScenic550275414602024-08-19A TRIP OF A LIFETIME! I recently travelled through Morocco with Desert Discovery Tours, and I highly recommend their services. I had organised an 18-day personalised trip, a second honeymoon, together with Mustapha, From the beginning, the team was welcoming and professional, making the entire trip smooth and enjoyable.The itinerary was well-organized, striking a good balance between popular attractions and lesser-known spots. Accommodations were comfortable and met our expectations, and driver/guide (Mustapha) provided insightful information about Morocco's history and culture. We appreciated the careful planning and attention to detail, which made the journey stress-free.Exploring the Medina’s and souks of MOST cites including Marrakech, the historic sites in Fes, and the Sahara Desert were all highlights of the trip. Our absolute favourite city was Chefchaouen, Desert Discovery Tours ensured that everything, from transportation to meals, was well taken care of, allowing us to focus on enjoying the experience. IF you however have food allergies or intolerances, I suggest that you get more support, the Riad and Hotels struggled with supporting me, maybe take your own snacks!If you're considering a trip to Morocco, Desert Discovery Tours is a reliable choice. They offer a well-rounded travel experience that allows you to see the best of the country without any hassle.
