Perfect tour for the short stay. The program is very interesting, intensive and informative. I’ve learned and seen things I wasn’t even aware of about Marocco. The planing and the communication worked very well. Would definitely recommend the same for other tourists! 10/10 start for Moha, it’s a pleasure to have him as guide. Very fun, open and helpful with all kind of questions and requests! Thank you!

Itinerary
Day 1
1
Our start will be from Fes the Medina, where our team will pick you up from your Hotel.
We will begin our journey from Fes by passing through Ifrane, a winter ski resort built by the French in the 1930s to resemble a Swiss village.
Continue passing through the cedars forest in Azrou where you will see the monkeys then drive across the Middle Atlas Mountains. Most of the day will be spent winding your way through the beautiful forests, springs, jagged rock faces, and Berber villages as you cross the Atlas Mountains and begin to descend towards the Sahara Desert.
Halfway, you will stop for lunch in the town of Midelt, famous for its fossils and rocks, then continue towards Merzouga in the road.
Stop to get a panoramic view of a huge oasis of the palm trees and reach to Merzouga in the afternoon. After having some mint tea, the guide and camels will be waiting to carry you across the sandy dunes of the erg-Chebbi. Enjoy the beauty of the sunset on the camel and after 1-hour, you will reach to the desert camp to spend the night in a Berber tent. At your desert shelter, your camels are hobbled and mint tea is served. After a wonderful dinner, watch the stars until you fall asleep.
Day 2
2
After a delicious breakfast, depart for Ouarzazate, and travel the rugged Road of a Thousand Kasbahs that rise up like turreted sand castles along this ancient caravan trading route. This area has long been a popular location for Hollywood films such as The Last Temptation of Christ, Jewel of the Nile, and most recently Hideous Kinky. The central region is one of the most exciting and romantic destinations of Morocco nestled along rich river valleys, palmeries, and burnished mud-brick homes ablaze in vibrant color under the shelter of the blue desert sky
Stop for lunch and walk into the Todra gorge. Travel through the Dadès Valley past dramatic escarpments and have a late dinner at your hotel in the Gorges or in Ouarzazate.
Day 3
3
Enjoy breakfast, then visit the town of Ouarzazate, including the Kasbah of Taourirt and the Atlas Studios movie studios, (there is a fee of 8 € per person)the largest and most famous of all Africa. Next, stop in ait ben Haddou where you will arrive in time of lunch. Here, you may visit the famous Kasbah, declared UNESCO World Heritage and which was the scene of films like The Gladiator, Babel, and Lawrence of Arabia
Pass through the High Atlas and the Tizi-n-Tichka pass, along a road that climbs from the plains up to 2260m above sea level through small villages and waterfalls as well as the continuously changing landscape and colours of the beautiful mountains. Return to your hotel or riad in Marrakech at the end of the day.

Reviews
Our driver Moha drove our group for 3 days, and he’s great. Always took time to alert us about important landmarks and explain the history of the place in understandable English. The drop off and pickup went without any problems. Overall great experience.
Everything went well , vehicle and driver was very good
A three-day journey through Morocco turned into one of the most memorable experiences of our travels. From winding mountain roads to the vast beauty of the Sahara Desert, every moment was filled with adventure, breathtaking scenery, and authentic cultural experiences. A special thank you to our drivers and guides, Ebrahim and Hassan, who made the trip so enjoyable, as well as Zahra who kept in touch via whatsapp from booking till after the experience. Ebrahim's kindness and calm nature, together with Hassan's knowledge, professionalism, and genuine hospitality, ensured that we felt welcomed and well looked after throughout the journey. Even when our vehicle experienced a breakdown, they handled the situation with patience and efficiency, getting us safely back on the road with minimal disruption to our adventure. Highlights included riding camels into the desert at sunset, spending a magical night under a sky full of stars, enjoying a delicious dinner in the Sahara, and sharing in an evening of music, singing, dancing, and drumming around the camp. These are memories we will treasure for years to come. Thank you to Fes Tours for creating such a remarkable experience. Morocco's Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert have left a lasting impression on us, and we already look forward to returning one day to retrace our steps through this extraordinary landscape. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, unforgettable Moroccan adventure.
We really LOVED it. Great experience, we'll organized. Gorgeous landscapes and the camel ride at sunset was amazing. Horcine was a great driver. The only thing I would improve is the lunch stops : they are expensive for ordinary and repetitive food. I think the market visit near Merzouga was unnecessary and that time should be allocated to enjoy the toudha gorge and valley. Besides that, I'm very satisfied with the tour.
A very rewarding 3-day experience! The value for what you pay is hard to beat — the last two days had numerous stops. You have options on when you want to pay admission fees for certain museums/etc., and the tour guides at each spot were fun, attentive, and shared lots about the unique culture and traditions of the Southern Morocco Tribes. Our group size was perfect at 7. Mohcine the tour guide had a fun-loving attitude, and the right blend of professionalism with respecting time, and adjusting based on our interests. I would choose this option again without a doubt for my wife and I.
Very interesting and well organized trip. The guide Mahfoudh was extremely professional, available and nice
The entire experience was great. Our Guide/Driver - Mahfoud was very helpful!
The Staff was helpful and friendly DJ said managed it well. The tour in general was very well organised. Definitely worth it.
Mohaa gave us a wonderful experience both as a driver and a guide. He has a very passionate & inclusive approach to the tour experience and gives a full & concise explanation as to the itinerary. His use of local guides suited the sites we were taken to and his driving skills were excellent. I felt the Sahara desert and Ait ben Haddou parts of the journey were the highlights.
Mohaa, our driver for the 3 day group tour ensured this was a wonderful trip for all. Mohaa is passionate for the desert, Moroccan culture and landscape and keen to pass on this understanding. The tour was well organised, full of interest and fun. Mohaa is an excellent driver and participating local guides were very good.
Brilliant trip with transport by Mohaa, careful and professional driving and very good English - 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The tour was really fun and the guide, Mohaa, provided a lot of information about the places we visited. The group was very diverse and really nice people. Really recommended experience.
Thank Najim for all of your support and guiadence
All praise goes to Mahfoud who drove us safely to each and every stop maintaining always a friendly and humorous attitude. Big thanks and much respect for the good work done. The whole trip is tightly planned but all works out. Highlights of course are the desert, the camels, ait ben haddou and of course the people we met on the way. Have some tips for the guides.
Madforud is a nice driver with a good sense of humour yet not too talkative which allows us to have good rest when travelling from place to place. Also, he has a rich knowledge of the attractions which gives us a conclusion of where are we at concisely. The only disadvantage is that the restaurant in the tour are all the same, same skewers, same tajine and same couscous throughout the trip.
A great trip with an excellent driver. Mahfoudh was truly professional, helpful, and a very good driver. It’s a great way to quickly experience a taste of the desert and see some of Morocco’s main landscapes. The only downside was the amount of time spent travelling: 8–10 hours on the road each day. This could be made clearer at the time of booking, as it’s an important aspect to consider when choosing this type of tour.
We had an amazing experience on our 3-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga. A special mention has to go to our guide, Mahfoud!! who was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole journey. He was incredibly friendly, supportive and helpful from start to finish. He made sure we were comfortable, explained the places we visited along the way, and was always happy to help whenever we needed anything. He is not only a very good guide but also a genuinely kind and approachable person, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. The journey through the Atlas Mountains and the experience in the Sahara were unforgettable, and having such a supportive guide made a real difference. We really enjoyed our time with him and would happily recommend him to anyone planning the 3-day Fes–Merzouga–Marrakech desert tour. Thank you for helping make our Morocco trip so memorable! 🇲🇦🐪🏜️
I like a lot the driver Mahfoudh
This experience was the most beautiful one. The driver Mahfoudh is the best!
We had a wonderful experience on our trip, and a big part of it was thanks to our amazing guide, Mahfoudh. He was very kind, friendly and respectful, and he always spoke to us in such a warm and pleasant way. He made us feel comfortable from the very beginning and was always happy to answer our questions and share interesting information. The whole experience was beautiful and memorable, and we truly appreciated Mahfoudh’s positive attitude, patience and professionalism. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great guide and a special experience in Morocco. Thank you, Mahfoudh, for making our trip even more enjoyable! ❤️🇲🇦
I had a great time on this trip. There was a lot of things packed into a small amount of time. Mahfoud was very funny and a great guide for us. All of the people in our small tour group were awesome as well.
Our driver Mahfoudh was incredible. He was extremely friendly and gave us a lot of information along the way. He made the trip 10x better. Other stuff was great too. Not as good as Mahfoudh tho.
We took a 3-day tour from Fez to Marrakech, passing through the desert. We really appreciated the company and the professionalism of our guide and driver, Driss and Lahcen. If we return to Morocco, it would be a pleasure to travel with them again.
Me and my girlfriend spent a wonderful 3 days trip from Fes to Marrakech! The experience in the desert was incredible! Thank you to Driss and Lahcen for accompanying us on this journey and for their kindness and great sense of humor! Francesco
The tour was fantastic! Dris was an extremely accommodating, friendly guide and was constantly engaging. Lahssan was a very safe driver which made the journey smooth and enjoyable. If you want to experience a lot of what Morocco has to offer in a short amount of time, this is the perfect tour. Would recommend this to anyone.
I had an amazing time on this tour. The sites were incredible and our guides were so hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. Would thoroughly recommend it to friends and family visiting Morocco. Special thanks to Dris and Lahssan for guiding and driving us on this trip!
This was the best part of my Morocco trip. I was amazed by the view from sand dunes. I would recommend bringing some water for the first day. Our guide Dris helped us to pick places with good prices of water and other stuff. The hotel in which we stayed in was surprisingly nice.
It is great value for money. Our guide Dris is the best. I really appreciated his tips regarding the prices in Morocco and general advices. Camel ride and Sahara experience was the best part of this trip. I also liked the stops we made along the road. We managed to take some beautiful pictures. I wish we stayed a bit longer than 30 mins in Ifran. It seemed like a really beautiful place.
Dris and Lahsen were fantastic guides and hosts for the tour. There enthusiasim and hospitality were first class. We had so much fun and would do it again. Was an awesome experience.
The trip was well organized from start to finish. Our driver and guide Mahfoudh was knowledgeable, attentive, and safe on the road. I recommend this trip to anyone seeking an authentic desert adventure
Overall amazing expirience well worth the price. The organization was very good and driver Mahfoudh was an absolute legend. The sahara part was incredible with very friendly staff. You see alot of stuff over the 3 day trip.
We did the 3-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech. Overall, it was an interesting experience and a good way to see different landscapes and places along the way, especially the Sahara. Our driver, Naijm, was friendly, polite and helpful throughout the trip. He drove safely and made sure we reached all the planned stops and destinations. The tour itself involves quite a lot of time on the road, so some parts can feel a little rushed, but it was still a nice way to experience several different parts of Morocco in a short period of time.
From the beginning, I knew the experience was going to be a good one because of the driver. Hassan was communicative, kind, helpful and spoke amazing English. He made sure everybody in our Mercedes Sprinter was comfortable and understood where we are and where we are going. Along the way, he told us various cool facts and stories about the places we drove through. The van was very comfortable with great seats and cold air conditioning. We stopped at all the places mentioned in the original tour description which was great. Good number of bathroom stops, panoramic photo stops, coffee and food stops. Just keep in mind many of the restaurants accept cash only, so come prepared. The highlight of the trip was the desert camp. It was exactly what i had expected. Clean, comfortable and the staff were welcoming. I booked the 1 hour ATV ride for extra 50 euros which I really enjoyed - we saw the sunrise from a great point in the dunes. Planning to book this tour again in the future. Make sure to leave a tip to the driver and other people if they have put in effort to make your experience a better one.
very fun tour. we stopped at a lot of fun places
Great experience, the driver was really nice and I had a very good time
Excellent experience, our guide Moha was so funny and understanding. Definitely recommend it
Very good experience and great views of the desert 🐪 Our guide Mohaa was very helpful
Mohaa was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the region and always cheerful. Our group had a great time sharing music and travel stories in the tour bus along the way. Mohaa was an excellent driver too.
Mohaa was a great guide who ensured the trip ran smoothly. Very good value for money and the best way to travel from fes to marrakech and see the country.
We had a lovely time and all around a very adventures trip. Our drivers Driss and Najim were fun to be around and could tell us a lot about the county and the culture of morocco. We met amazing people had good food and always felt taken care of.
The best guide Omar and the best driver Salah!!! The trip was very well organized, we had a great time. A must-see in Morocco.
Our guide Driss was amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly. Not just a driver but a friend for three days and really brought the group together. Thank you! The Sahara was beautiful and we loved the camel ride. Unforgettable experience!
Everything was amazing with our driver Mohammed, even if there was an issue with the car mid travel he handed the situation very well. Always telling us something curious about the city we were visiting and overall and amazing experience totally advised if you want to visit the real Morocco. Shokran again Mohammed you the best!🇲🇦❤️✨
Amazing views of the mountains and Sahara. Salah was a safe driver and both the guide and driver were very friendly and helpful.
The tour guide and the driver Salah were wonderful. We saw lots of sights and didn’t feel obligated to make any purchases. As for food, there were vegetarian options. Everyone was so welcoming.
Awesome! Muha Buzga was an amazing guide and driver. Definitely recommend this unique Morocco experience, and especially with Muha as your guide.
Our driver, Said Arfoud, was the BEST driver and guide. He communicated well and was very organized. He is a very safe driver under challenging circumstances as we experienced in the Atlas Mountains in December. He shared his great taste in music with us too. Finally, Said went out of his way to make sure we arrived at our Riad safely at the end of our 3 day tour
The 3D/2N Desert Adventure is not to be missed. Our overnight stay in the desert camp is a different kind of experience - tent and facilities are clean, there is heater and hot water, water closet has strong flush, food was delicious and generous, staff were all helpful and courteous. We rode the camel, did sandboarding and watched the sunset. After dinner there was bonfire and performance by the staff. In the morning, we watched the sunrise. It was a fun and different experience. I would like to commend Ibrahim, our amazing and fantastic driver for 3 days. We all felt safe with Ibrahim. It was snowing in the Atlas Mountain and he drove safely. All of us drive cars and we could tell how skilled a driver Ibrahim is. Ibrahim together with Hossein took good care of us, from our luggages to our photo shots to our meals - in one restaurant, when they saw that our food orders were taking time, they would check with the manager/owner and they would even bring plates to our tables. Our vehicle though could be better :) they look tired already.
we really enjoyed our trip from fes to marrakech through the atlas mountains and desert. it lasted 3 days and 2 nights. we felt comfortable and free. the transfers were in good condition and the drivers were attentive and friendly. they were always ready to help us and made our trip as pleasant as possible
