This is the definitive 3 days tour from Fes to Marrakech, a journey designed to transport you from the ancient, intellectual heart of Morocco to its vibrant, beating pulse. You will traverse the majestic Atlas Mountains, witness the landscape transform into a sea of golden dunes, and experience an unforgettable night under the vast Saharan stars. This isn't just a transfer; it's the most iconic desert adventure in Morocco.
The 3-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour is the most popular trip in Morocco for a reason. It perfectly balances efficiency with an immersive experience. In just three days, you journey across the country's diverse landscapes, from the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas to the vast Sahara, culminating in the vibrant energy of Marrakech. It's the ideal itinerary for travelers who want to experience the magic of the desert without committing to a longer tour.
Your odyssey begins with an early pickup from your Fes accommodation. We ascend into the Middle Atlas Mountains, a world of cedar forests and charming towns. Our first stop is Ifrane, the "Switzerland of Morocco," followed by a visit to the Azrou forest to meet the resident Barbary macaques. As we cross the Tizi n'Talghamt pass, the landscape transforms. We’ll journey through the magnificent Ziz Valley, a vast oasis of palms, before arriving at the edge of the Sahara. Here, your camel caravan awaits to carry you across the stunning Erg Chebbi dunes during a magical sunset. You'll arrive at our luxury desert camp, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner, and fall asleep to the sound of Berber drums under a canopy of stars.
An early wake-up call is rewarded with a spectacular sunrise over the dunes—a truly unforgettable moment. After breakfast, we ride our camels back to the village of Merzouga. Our journey continues towards the High Atlas Mountains. We'll stop in Rissani, the ancient cradle of the Alaouite dynasty, before reaching the Todra Gorge. Here, you'll have time to walk and marvel at the colossal 300-meter-high canyon walls. From there, we proceed to the beautiful Dades Valley, known for its dramatic rock formations, where we will spend the night in a comfortable hotel.
After breakfast, we travel the famous "Road of a Thousand Kasbahs." Our main stop is the legendary Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a fortified village and UNESCO World Heritage site that has served as a backdrop for films like *Gladiator* and *Game of Thrones*. After exploring this historic marvel, we embark on the final leg of our journey, a breathtaking drive over the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka pass (2260m). We will descend into the plains, arriving in the vibrant city of Marrakech in the late afternoon, where your unforgettable 3-day desert tour from Fes concludes.

"This 3-day tour was perfectly organized and an absolute dream. Our driver, Omar, was fantastic—knowledgeable and so friendly. The sunset camel ride and the night at the luxury camp were magical. Waking up to the sunrise over the dunes is something we will never forget. A must-do experience!"
Yes, 3 days is the perfect amount of time to experience the highlights of the journey without feeling overly rushed. It allows for one full, magical night in the Sahara desert and covers all the key sights along the scenic route to Marrakech. It is, however, a tour with a significant amount of driving.
Our luxury camp offers a "glamping" experience. You will stay in a spacious private tent with a comfortable king-sized bed, high-quality linens, and a modern, en-suite private bathroom with a hot water shower and flushing toilet. It's the perfect blend of authentic adventure and modern comfort.
We recommend packing a small overnight bag. Essential items include sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, comfortable long pants for the camel ride, a jacket or fleece for the cool desert night, and a portable charger/power bank for your electronics.
