From Marrakech: 3-Day Sahara Desert Tour to Fes
Discover the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga and the medina of Fes in a 3-day desert trip from Marrakech to Fes. Highlights include golden dunes and Berber hospitality.
3 Days · From Marrakech
This 3-day desert trip from Marrakech to Fes is built around the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga and the medina of Fes. It is designed for travellers who want a real feel of Morocco without worrying about logistics. You will be looked after from pick-up to drop-off by a team that lives in the region and knows its roads, its villages and its best viewpoints.
About This Tour
The journey from Marrakech crosses the High Atlas through the Tizi n'Tichka pass, then continues past kasbahs, oases and red earth villages, with plenty of stops for photos and tea along the way.
Erg Chebbi stretches for about 22 kilometres near the Algerian border, and Merzouga is the village at its foot. Here you leave the vehicle behind and enter a world of sand, where the only sounds are the wind and the steps of the camels.
Fes is the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco. Its medina is one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world, full of artisans, old madrasas, fountains and the famous leather tanneries.
During these 3 days you will see how much the landscapes of Morocco change in a short time, from mountains and valleys to palm oases and desert plains, with very different ways of life in each region.
Camels are gentle animals and the ride needs no experience. Wear comfortable clothes, wrap a scarf around your head like the locals do, and enjoy the rolling motion as the dunes turn gold around you.
