Morocco fes sahara desert tours

Why Choose A Fes Sahara Desert Tour?

A journey from Fes to the Sahara Desert is much more than a transfer between two destinations. It is one of Morocco’s most beautiful road trips, taking you through landscapes that change dramatically with every hour of travel.

Leaving the historic streets of Fes behind, you’ll travel through the Middle Atlas Mountains, pass charming mountain towns, explore cedar forests where Barbary macaques roam freely, and admire the breathtaking views of the Ziz Valley before reaching the golden dunes of Merzouga. Along the way, you’ll discover a side of Morocco that many visitors never see.

Our Fes Sahara Desert Tours are designed to let you enjoy the journey as much as the destination. With carefully planned stops, comfortable travel, and authentic local experiences, every day offers something new to discover.

A Journey Through Morocco’s Changing Landscapes

From mountain scenery and cedar forests to lush oases and endless dunes, few routes in Morocco offer such a variety of landscapes in a single trip.

Experience The Magic Of Erg Chebbi

Home to some of the highest dunes in Morocco, Erg Chebbi offers unforgettable sunsets, peaceful desert mornings, and breathtaking views across the Sahara.

 Memories That Last Long After The Journey Ends

Ride a camel across the dunes, watch the sunset over the desert, enjoy traditional Berber hospitality, and spend an unforgettable night beneath a sky filled with stars.

 Travel With A Local Sahara Family

At Morocco Desert Safari, we are a local team running a company from Merzouga. The desert is not simply a place we visit with travelers; it is our home. Our local knowledge, personal service, and passion for Morocco help create experiences that feel genuine, comfortable, and memorable.

Four day desert tour - FANTIASTIC! We did four day tour from Marrakech to Fes and had a fantastic time. Hassan and his team were so so kind and thoughtful. We felt completely comfortable as two single female travelers and could not recommend the desert tour with Hassan enough. Each hotel was fantastic and the food was delicious. The camel ride was a complete highlight and the extra full day in the desert was essential to really explore and learn about the local culture.

Great trip to the Sahara and Beyond! We super enjoyed our 4 day /3 night trip through Berber country! Every day was unique and we had so many highlights. The area is rich with history, culture, and vistas and Morocco Desert Safari made sure we experienced them all. We had a comfortable car and a wonderful driver/guide who explained his Berber culture. As a photographer, he accommodated my many requests to stop for photos on our private trip. The accommodations were good to great and the night in the desert was exceptional, with an amazing staff and glamping accommodations. Overall a fabulous time!

Frequently Asked Questions About Fes sahara desert tours

How far is the Sahara from Fes, really?

About 470 km, 7 to 8 hours non-stop. Nobody does it non-stop. We split it over the trip so the drive isn’t the worst part of your holiday.

Two days, three days, or four?

Three is what we tell most people, and most people are happy they listened. Two works if you’re genuinely short on time, but it’s a lot of driving for not much desert. Four is better if gorges and valleys matter to you as much as the dunes.

Is it actually private, or will we be grouped with other tourists?

Just your group, your vehicle, your driver. We don’t run shared shuttles

Do we ride camels both ways?

Yes, sunset out, sunrise back, unless you’d rather take the 4×4 one way, plenty of guests do.

Can the tour end in Marrakech instead of coming back to Fes?

Yes, the 3 and 4-day routes both work one-way to Marrakech. Just tell us when you book.

Best time of year for this?

March to May, or September to November. July and August get genuinely hot in the desert during the day. January nights in camp are cold, bring a real jacket, not a windbreaker.

Three Days. One Road. A Night You Won't Forget.

Tell us your dates and we’ll put a route together, no generic package, just your trip.
