Embark on our unforgettable 5-Day Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech and immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of Morocco. 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.

Un viaggio da favola Abbiamo prenotato il nostro viaggio di nozze con Desert Discovery Tours ed è stata un'esperienza fantastica. Mustapha è stato gentilissimo e ha prenotato per noi delle strutture davvero bellissime, mentre Brahim, il nostro driver, è stato davvero professionale, disponibile e molto simpatico. È stato un piacere attraversare il Marocco con lui! Le due guide, a Fes e Marrakech, erano molto professionali e ci sono piaciuti molto entrambi i tour. In soli 12 giorni abbiamo visitato il Marocco in tutte le sue sfaccettature, facendo esperienze autentiche e indimenticabili, e apprezzando la bellezza di paesaggi mozzafiato (l'oceano, il deserto e le montagne dell'Atlante). Consigliamo vivamente questo tour a chi voglia visitare il Marocco nel miglior modo possibile.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Wonderful tour This was an amazing experience. Our driver, Mustapha, was a fabulous guide. We were so comfortable in the van and saw so many beautiful places. We had the perfect amount of time with guides and time on our own to explore. I would definitely recommend Desert Discovery Tours!!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A great experience in the desert All locations that we have visited are stunning and beautiful. This desert tour is such a wonderful experience. The guide has always been at our disposal for any of our needs and everything very well organized. I asked a lot of information before the tour directly via email and I always received clear and timely responses, which is a minor detail but contributes to making this a great experience overall.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Awesome two weeks in Morocco We used the 11 day tour itinerary as a starting point, added three days, and adjusted the tour to our liking. We flew into Marrakesh and left from Casablanca. Mustapha was super helpful to tweak the individual items and addressed all our questions quickly until we had it all planned out. Our trip was great! We were really surprised by the variety of things we saw and the beauty of landscapes throughout the trip. There was quite a bit if driving involved and we were really happy that we didn't have to do the driving ourselves, especially in the big cities. It was so much more relaxed to just sit and have someone drive who's used to that kind of traffic and knows his way around. We had the same driver for the entire time, which was really pleasant. In the cities we had specialized tour guides to show us around. One of our highlight was surely the two nights in the desert camp. It was a truly special experience and we were so lucky with the weather, having perfect conditions and no storms. The camp was very comfortable, the camel ride super fun and we highly recommend you don't skip it. We felt that the true value of a private organized trip is the peace-of-mind you get. There is no worrying about how to get from A to B, and you can just focus on enjoying your trip. It makes it so easy and worry-free. We can totally recommend Desert Discovery Tours, as they were great planning the tour with, considering our requests and organizing the whole trip very professionally. Our driver Youssef was super friendly and we felt that we were in good hands throughout.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable 9-Day Morocco Adventure with Desert Discovery Tours We had an amazing experience with Desert Discovery Tours in Morocco! Our 8-night, 9-day journey covered nearly 1,200 miles and was incredibly well organized from start to finish. A special thanks to Mustafa for planning such a thoughtful and seamless itinerary. Every detail was well coordinated, and the trip allowed us to experience so much of Morocco’s beauty, culture, history, and landscapes without ever feeling rushed. The Riad stays throughout the trip were absolutely awesome — beautiful, authentic, comfortable, and full of charm. They really added to the overall Moroccan experience and made each stop memorable. Hassan was exceptional — not only an excellent driver for the long distances, but also a friendly, patient, and knowledgeable guide throughout the journey. He always made us feel comfortable and welcomed. In several cities, we also had specialized local guides who added great depth and insight to the experience. Overall, this was a memorable, smooth, and unforgettable trip. Highly recommend Desert Discovery Tours to anyone looking for an authentic and well-planned way to explore Morocco!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Beautiful Morocco! We recently returned from a trip to Morocco organized by this fantastic team, and we couldn't be happier. From start to finish, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring our stay in this beautiful country was seamless. The itinerary was perfectly balanced; the pace was pleasant—giving us time to breathe—and the accommodations were consistently comfortable. A massive shout-out to our driver-guide, Brahim. He was more than just a driver; his great sense of humor and pleasant personality made the long drives feel like a highlight of the trip. The Sahara stay was a particular standout. Seeing the vast, quiet desert landscapes juxtaposed against the high energy of the bustling markets and towns was breathtaking. My only small critique would be that vegetarian food options were a bit limited in a couple of locations, but overall, the experience was world-class. Highly recommended!
