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.

Dario B2025-03-10Verified Bellissimo tour di 4 giorni ! Bellissimo tour di 4 giorni da Marrakesh al deserto di Merzouga. Tutto reso magnifico da Mustapha che ci ha accompagnato in questa fantastica avventura, i nostri bambini lo hanno adorato! Abbiamo visto un Marocco autentico e la notte nel deserto una delle esperienze più belle mai fatte! Anche gli hotel dove abbiamo alloggiato una vera sorpresa...piccoli gioielli. Grazie di tutto, consigliatissimo! Eravamo 4 adulti e 7 bambini dai 4 ai 13 anni quindi adatto a tutte le età! ELIANA A2025-03-10Verified Esperienza fantastica!

RockyZ192025-03-04Verified 5-day private tour Casablanca-Fes-Chefchaouen Desert discovery tours and our trip coordinator Mustapha were excellent. We asked for a lot of changes to the itinerary in the planning stage and Mustapha was patient, flexible, accommodating and knowledgeable throughout. In the end he crafted the perfect 5-day private tour for us. Our guide/driver Ibrahim was wonderful. He drove carefully, gave us useful and interesting information, spoke beautifully in English, and ensured that we were always enjoying the trip. The cost was competitive with other agencies and the choice of lodging and activities were good quality. I recommend desert discovery tours if you are looking to take a private, bespoke trip in Morocco. Alessio2025-03-04Verified SUPER Everything perfect really organizedOur guide was very knowledgeable and very kind, thank you very much it was a wonderful experience. alicemonge2025-02-21Verified An amazing tour of the desert! I really enjoyed this 5 days tours of Morocco. We visited the Atlas mountains, the stunning Dades valley, the desert and much more. We have stayed in beautiful, cozy hotels that were preparing us delicious breakfasts and dinners. Our driver Mohammed was very kind to us, he was very experienced and he made us listen to very nice Moroccan songs while we were traveling, creating a special atmosphere. He made us explore the desert and its surroundings in an authentic way. Thanks to him we had the chance to try traditional food such as dates, Berber pizza… I really enjoyed the two days in the desert in which I have made a tour of the dromedary and I have listen a drum show under the stars. The driver also brought us to try sandboarding and a tour with the quad in the desert. I really recommend it to everyone! Shekhar R2025-02-13Verified Morocco has lot to offer and we only scratched the surface with a 10 day trip. Soak it in Morocco has been on our list of must go places for a long time and we were able to finally make a 10 day trip. Mustapha helped us build an itinerary that combined both history and nature. Starting at Marrakech we enjoyed walking through the historic Medina and soaking in the culture. Highly recommend staying at Riad Khireddine. The staff was amazing. The hot air balloon ride in the outskirts was an experience and would highly recommended. A long road trip through high atlas mountain to Dades valley was well worth it. We then made it to the Merzouga desert and the tent camping under the stars was the highlight of the trip. From the desert we proceeded to Fes. The history of this city is definitely worth learning about. The Medina here is bigger and better the one in Marrakech. Finally we went to Chefchouen. While the setting of this quaint town is unique, it was probably the most touristy of all the other places. Thank you Mustapha and team for making it a memorable experience. We certainly enjoyed our conversations, the folk music during the road trip, the hospitality and food. While BA did not deliver our luggage for almost 3 days (story for another time), Mustapha pulled all stops to get our luggage delivered at one of our stops after we had left Marrakech. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour company and guide. Arianna Vitale2025-02-09Verified That's great! To be redone tomorrow Great tour! Beautiful views, great food. The night in the desert a dream.. Mustapha guided us on this journey and was an indispensable company: she gave us cultural information and a sense of security and unique tranquility that for two girls alone in a country completely different from their own is no small thing!I would come back tomorrow!! Stephanie M2025-02-08Verified A great trip! Desert Discovery is an excellent way to explore Morocco! Our family chose the Fossil tour and our guide Hammi was exceptional. Learning about the history of the Berber people and the geology of the area was the real highlight. This tour shows you both the classic Moroccan tourist attractions and cities while also accommodating your needs and personal interests. A great trip, thank you! sibylle2025-02-07Verified awesome 3 days desert trip from Marrakesh to Fes We booked the 3 day tour from Marrakesh to Fes and had a great time. The trip was as described super organized and uncomplicated (delicious food, wonderful accomodation, many well chosen photo stops in the Atlas Mountains, in the desert and in between). Our driver/guide Mustapha told us a lot about Morocco, life here and its history.Very informative tour with exciting stops, without ever having the feeling of having to buy something everywhere. Mustapha also gave us various valuable tips for our onward journey. We would recommend this tour and the company 100%.
