Overview:
The Marrakech to Fes 2 Days Tour via Erg Chebbi Dunes is ideal for those who don’t have much time in Morocco but still want to go on a camel trip and spend the night at a camp in the Merzouga desert.
This two-day tour departs from Marrakech to Fes. We will pick you up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech early in the morning, at 7:00 a.m., so that we have time to make as many stops as possible along the way. We will then head to the High Atlas mountains, crossing the Tizi N´Tichka pass and stopping to take pictures of the traditional Berber small villages that blend in with the landscapes.
Next, we’ll head south to the ksar (walled town) of Ait Ben Haddou. Here, we’ll make a quick stop to take pictures, or, if you’re going in the summer, you can do a short visit. In 1986, UNESCO designated the famous Kasbah as a World Heritage Site.
Films such as Gladiator, Obelix, The Mummy, The Jewel of the Nile, and Sahara, starring Penélope Cruz, have all taken place here. On our second day in the desert, from Marrakech to Fes, we will continue to see the film studios and Taourirt Kasbah from the outside in Ouarzazate. We will also make short stops for pictures at beautiful places.
In Tinejdad or Touroug, you can choose to have lunch on your own. After lunch, we’ll keep going to the Merzouga desert to see the beautiful Erg Chebbi dunes. You’ll ride a camel for 1 to 1:30 hours to get to our Berber camp. Before dinner, you’ll have the chance to watch the sun go down from the top of a hill.
If sandboarding is something you want to do, go for it. Take pictures and enjoy the view. Next, we’ll head to the camp, where we’ll welcome you with a slice of mint tea and treat you to a delicious meal. After dinner, you can listen to traditional Berber drumming music and then sleep in a tent under the stars.
On the second day, you’ll wake up to a wonderful meal and a shower at the camp before watching the sun rise over the hill near the camp. You can then choose to ride the camels or take a 4WD back to where you started.
From here, we’ll keep going to Fes through the Ziz Valley, which is home to the second-longest river in Morocco. Along the way, we’ll cross the Middle Atlas Mountains, where you’ll be able to enjoy stunning views and have time for lunch at a restaurant.
We’ll drive to Fes and stop at the Azrou Cedar Forest to see the wild monkeys. We will take a short walk through the forest to get some shots. We’ll stop at Ifrane, which is like a little Switzerland in Morocco. Finally, we’ll drop you off at your hotel in Fes late afternoon. That’s the end of our private 2-day tour from Marrakech to Fes.

Reviews about our Marrakech to Fes 2 Days desert Tour
Amazing time in Morocco The trip to the desert was beautiful. We made a lovely country! I got to know you and enjoy everything you gave me. I loved your history and landscape, but most of all I loved your people. I made the right choice by going with this company and help. This group of people is unique, friendly, and has a beautiful soul. I'll be back as often as I can because everything was great! Of course, I'll pick the same outfit and my good helper! Big kisses!!!
Moroccan Desert Tours We are two families who took Omar's overnight tour of the Marrakech desert and ended the trip in Fes. The trip to the desert was "SPECTACULAR," and we can't say enough good things about the guide, the accommodations, the scenery, and the places we visited. We can't wait to do it again. We had a great time in Morocco. If you only remember one thing from our trip, make sure you go to the desert and spend the night in a tent—it's amazing.
