We had such a fantastic trip! Mohamed was an excellent guide and Omar was a great driver. Mohamed organised very good accommodation, knowledgeable village guides and good journey stops. He knows a lot about the history and culture of Morocco and happily shared his knowledge. We felt very well looked after. This tour was a wonderful introduction to south east Morocco, the Amazigh/Berber culture and the desert for our family.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see Morocco outside of the cities in a short time. Medhi was the best driver - professional, informative, attentive, and funny. He never missed an opportunity to share Moroccan culture or history with us, and answered all our (many) questions. 10/10 he made the trip special I was worried about the long driving days but I enjoyed these the most because we saw many different villages and beautiful landscapes. We stopped often, had great guided tours, and never felt rushed. Desert was really neat but HOT- if you want something more comfy upgrade to luxury room. My advice: know what you're getting into! Reading these reviews helped prepare me. Come with an open mind, sense of adventure, and curiosity Also note; The AC in our car did not work. If it weren’t for Medhi’s great driving and wonderful explanations this would’ve been reviewed very bad. The car conditions was companies fault, not his, but giving less than 5/5 would hurt him.

Full description

This 3-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience across Morocco’s most stunning landscapes. The adventure begins with a drive through the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, where panoramic views and traditional Berber villages line the way. Visit the famous Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and explore the film city of Ouarzazate before continuing through the breathtaking Rose Valley to spend the night in the dramatic Dades Valley.

On the second day, travel through the oasis of Tinghir and walk beneath the 300-meter cliffs of the Todra Gorges. Then head to the majestic Sahara Desert, where you'll ride a camel across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi just in time for sunset. Spend the evening in the desert camp with a traditional Moroccan dinner, Berber music, and a night under the stars.

The final day features a scenic drive through the Ziz Valley and the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop in the cedar forests near Azrou to spot wild monkeys before arriving in the imperial city of Fes in the evening. This tour combines culture, adventure, and natural beauty for an unforgettable Moroccan journey.
