This journey offers a kaleidoscope of experiences that showcase the country’s diverse culture and breathtaking landscapes. You’ll traverse the Atlas Mountains, winding through lush valleys and traditional Berber villages. The highlight of this adventure is the Sahara Desert, where you’ll witness the awe-inspiring dunes of Erg Chebbi and spend a night under the stars in a cozy desert camp. 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.

Chiara P2025-06-03Verified A unique experience I left with five friends in May for this wonderful journey to discover Morocco and I can say with absolute certainty that it will remain for me an unforgettable experience. I will forever carry in my heart the people I know, the colors and scents of that land, the breathtaking landscapes and the contours of the dunes. Much of the credit, however, goes to our guide, Brahim. It is he who accompanied us through this journey, always showing himself attentive, patient and inclined to create a cheerful and familiar atmosphere within the group that really made the difference. Thanks to him we experienced and knew Morocco in an authentic and profound way, immersing ourselves in Berber culture and traditions. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to know the true face of Morocco. And if you are lucky enough to have Brahim by your side, prepare for an experience that you will cherish forever.Thanks for everything! Carol P2025-06-01Verified Fantastic.

I, along with my friends, have relied on Desert Discovery Tours and especially thanks to the professionalism, seriousness, accuracy and maximum organization of Mustapha and our legendary Ibrahim (who accompanied us and advised us from the first to the last day) our trip was wonderful! Morocco is a wonderful land, rich in colors, scents, offers landscapes, views and extraordinary sunsets. The locals are very welcoming. What about!? I absolutely recommend you rely on them. Only in this way will you be able to admire the totality and wonder of this place. Martina P2025-05-27Verified Morocco sensational I left with 5 friends for a trip around Morocco. We were looking for a bit of adventure and lots of wonder and we found much more than that. Morocco is a fascinating land, with a very strong history and culture, but it would not have been the same without the perfect and precise organization of the guys of Desert Discovery Tours. Thanks to Mustapha prima and Ibrahim (our companion for the duration of the trip) we were able to live a full and deep and authentic and immersive experience. Ibrahim, in particular, gave us a hand in everything: in addition to accompanying us for the duration of the trip, he advised us, helped us, became a full-fledged travel companion and also a dear friend.I highly recommend this experience with their help and professionalism. The quality of your trip will be much better. Nils H2025-05-25Verified Fantastic Tour of Morocco! Mustapha and his team organized a very nice tour for us, taking into account all of our wishes. The organization was excellent, from start to finish.Our guide and driver, Hassan, was incredible. Not only was he very nice and welcoming, he was also extremely knowledgeable. This made the trip a next-level experience. Not only did we get to see a lot of Morocco, we also had a lot of fun along the way.We followed our pre-planned tour, but as our guide and driver, Hassan got to know us better, he took us on small spontaneous activities along the route based on our interests and questions during the trip. This made it feel like a personally tailored experience.From Fez to Chefchaouen to Marrakech, each city had its own flair and appeal, but an unforgettable highlight was the time spent in the desert. The dunes, stars, and sense of calmness there are just unique.Thank you again, Hassan and DDT, for making this trip unforgettable.Matilda and Nils marica m2025-05-24Verified An extraordinary ten-day experience for the whole of Morocco. We were a group of six girls and our journey began in Marrakech. Upon our arrival at the airport we found our guide, Ibrahim, an extraordinary person who was with us throughout the trip. After visiting the Medina of Marrakech, with its markets, herbalist’s shops and Koranic school, our journey continued to the high-Atlas Mountains, the Unesco World Heritage Site Ait Ben Haddou and the Dades Valley. The next day, we moved to the Todra Gorges and then to the Merzouga Desert. Here we took a sunset walk on the dromedaries, participated in the Berber festival around the bonfire, admired the stars from the dunes and then saw the sun rise over them. A magical experience. The next day we did the quad bike ride on the dunes and Sandboarding, one of the funniest days of my life. After this experience, we stopped in Midelt, and then left for Ifrane and the cedar forest, populated by many monkeys. The next day was entirely dedicated to discovering the city of Fes, its markets, tannery and all the workshops of artisans and potters. We then continued our tour to Chefchaouen, the blue pearl of Morocco, then headed to Rabat and finally Casablanca. We spent the last day again in Marrakech, dq we left to return to Italy. It was a wonderful trip, organized with care and attention. Thank you for this Mustapha and the Desert Discovery Tour agency, for your availability and for the work done. A special thanks to Ibrahim, who was always with us on this trip, who satisfied our every need, recommending places to visit and places to eat and buy. It was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever. Thank you.
