Fes is one of the most atmospheric starting points for a Moroccan desert tour. Our routes from Fes travel through the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas and the palm-lined Ziz Valley before reaching the great dunes of Erg Chebbi, where a sunset camel trek and a night in a Berber luxury camp await.

Choose a two-day express to Merzouga, a three-day crossing to Marrakech through the Sahara, or combine Chefchaouen’s blue streets with the desert. Small groups, private 4x4s or minivans, and local guides make every Fes desert tour seamless, with hotel pickup included.

Journey from ancient Fes to Chefchaouen's mesmerizing blue-washed medina. Stroll through photogenic alleyways, visit the kasbah museum, and hike to the Spanish Mosque.
Day Trip
Explore the Roman ruins of Volubilis, visit the holy town of Moulay Idriss, and discover Meknes — the 'Versailles of Morocco' with its monumental Bab Mansour gate.
Merzouga is about 460 km from Fes, a journey of roughly 7-8 hours through the Middle Atlas and Ziz Valley. Our 2-day Fes to Merzouga tour comfortably includes the camel trek, a night in a luxury camp, and the return journey.
Absolutely. Our 4-day Fes to Chefchaouen and Desert tour starts with the blue city’s photogenic medina, then crosses the Rif and Atlas Mountains to reach the Sahara. A day trip from Fes to Chefchaouen is also available.
Transport in an air-conditioned 4x4 or minivan, an English-speaking driver-guide, dinner and breakfast at the desert camp, the camel trek, and hotel pickup in Fes. Highlights such as the Volubilis ruins are included depending on the route.
March to May and September to November are ideal. Summer in the Sahara is extremely hot, while the cooler winter months bring crisp, starry nights — pack layers for the evenings.
