Program Itinerary of the Overnight Marrakech Desert Tour to Fes

Day 1: Marrakech » Atlas Mountains » Merzouga Sahara Desert [561 km]

Our overnight Marrakech desert excursion to Fes typically begins at your lodging in Marrakech. On the way, we’ll make stops as often as time permits to admire the stunning panoramas from the best desert mountain range of North Africa: the High Atlas.

When we get to Ouarzazate, also known as the “Gate of the Sahara,” we’ll stop off at the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, situated in Ouarzazate province. It is an outstanding illustration of the architecture of the southern region of Morocco.

We’ll continue our journey toward Merzouga toward Skoura, an ancient fertile oasis surrounded by huge palm groves within the Draa-Tafilalet region located in the Atlas Mountains. Here, we’ll take in the magnificent Dades River and its splendid canyons.

The next stop is Rissani, the biggest market in the area. We’ll then go through Rissani to be successful in this part of the Merzouga desert. Camels are waiting for you on the edge of these golden dunes at Erg Chebbi. A stop in the middle of the dunes offers an opportunity to get stunning pictures of the sunset and participate in Sandboards in the wavy dunes of sand at Merzouga. Dinner, a dance (Berber drummers) in the fire pit before the night is a dream in a Berber-style tent, an oasis in the Sahara desert.

Day 2: Merzouga » Erfoud » Ziz Valley » Azrou Cedar forest » Fes [460 km]

Then, we will get up early to enjoy one of the most breathtaking photographs you can see: the dawn on the dunes. After a wonderful time and having a typical breakfast in our camp, we’ll take the camels back towards our starting point, then switch the camels in the vehicle, and we’ll continue the tour towards Fes through Erfoud, the town that is awash with fossils and carvings in the stone.

Along the way, we’ll travel through the Ziz Valley and its palm trees, Errachidia, and Midelt, and we’ll be in the cedar forest to meet those famous wild Monkeys.

In the wake of the overnight Marrakech excursion through the desert to Fes and Fes, we’ll arrive in Fes in the afternoon. We will pick you up at your hotel, riad, or the nearest location. The end of our nighttime Marrakech desert tour and drive to Fes.

Reviews about our 2 days desert tour Marrakech to Fes

Incredible overnight Marrakech desert tour to Fes. It was a beautiful journey to the desert. We traveled to the desert camp via camel and spent the night there. Following dinner, they provided a musical and dance performance. In the morning, we saw the dawn between the dunes. It was a memorable experience. Everything was wonderful. Everything we were promised when we booked the vacation was exactly what we got. We are delighted with the attention received.

Excellent experience in Morocco. Beautiful trip to the desert. We made a beautiful country! I got to know you and enjoyed everything you gave me. I fell in love with your culture and geography but, above all, with your people. Fantastic, my choice, the company, and the perfect guide! The folks stood out from the others; they were gracious and had amazing souls! I’ll be back as frequently as I can. Everything was flawless! Of course, I’ll go with the same business and my reliable advisor! Hugs and kisses!

The most wonderful and magical trip of all that I did was our 2-day desert trip from Marrakech to Fes. I wholeheartedly endorse the group that made our wishes come true. The group is cordial, professional, and offers security. If you plan to go to that wonderful place that is Morocco, do not hesitate to hire Morocco Day Tour. The finest memories will last a lifetime, and you won’t ever regret it.

A TRACK TO REPEAT We are two families travelling to Fes from Marrakech during the night in the desert with Omar. We went to the desert, ” SPECTACULAR ”; there were only words of praise for the treatment and kindness, together with the landscape and the places we visited. We can only say that we have the taste of repeating. Going to Morocco has left us with good memories. Without detracting from the rest, It’s amazing to go to the desert and stay the night in a tent.
