Fes to Merzouga Desert Tours 2026
From Fes, the road to the desert runs north to south through the Middle Atlas — past Ifrane, the cedar forests of Azrou and their Barbary apes — and down the dramatic Ziz Valley to the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga. It is a quieter, greener landscape than the Marrakech route, and it works two ways: a round trip that starts and ends in Fes, or a one-way crossing that drops you in Marrakech so you never retrace your steps. Every tour below is private by default, includes a sunset camel trek and a night in our own luxury camp on the dunes, and is run start to finish by our family team. Choose by how many days you have and where you want to finish your trip.

What every multi-day desert tour includes
A private air-conditioned vehicle with fuel and a driver-guide, hotel or kasbah nights on the road, one night in our own luxury camp at Erg Chebbi with a sunset camel trek, and half board at the camp. We collect you from your hotel and confirm the pickup by WhatsApp the night before; bottled water is included, while lunches, entry fees and tips are extra.
How to choose the right tour
Pick by how much time you have and where you start. From Marrakech, 3 days is the classic round trip and 4–5 days add a relaxed day in the dunes and the oases. From Fes, the northern route runs 3–5 days. To travel one-way between two cities without backtracking, choose a Marrakech–Fes crossing.
Best time to visit and what to pack
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable; winter days are pleasant but desert nights are cold, and in summer we ride at sunrise and sunset. Whatever the month, bring light layers, a warm jacket for the night, a scarf, sun protection and closed shoes — the camp provides bedding and blankets.
