Day one crosses the Tizi n'Tichka Pass to Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate before reaching the Dades Valley and its dramatic gorges. Day two visits the Todra Gorges before continuing to Merzouga for a camel trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes, timed for sunset, with an overnight stay at a desert bivouac. Day three begins with sunrise over the dunes, then crosses the Ziz Valley, the Middle Atlas via Midelt and Ifrane, arriving in Fes by evening. 🌟 Why Choose Us Graded easy, this tour suits travellers who want to experience the Sahara as part of a longer journey across Morocco rather than a there-and-back desert trip from a single base. An English-speaking guide and driver lead throughout, with carefully selected riads, hotels and a desert camp along the route. Because the route only runs in one direction, it works well for travellers already planning to visit both Marrakech and Fes as part of a wider Morocco itinerary. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 2 nights accommodation (hotels, riad and desert camp as per itinerary) English-speaking tour guide and driver Meals as per tour details Camel trek in the Sahara Desert All transportation during the tour ### What’s not included Flights Travel insurance Guide and driver gratuities Personal expenses Meals not specified in the itinerary Transport to and from the meeting point before pickup and after final drop-off ### Kit list Light, breathable clothing for warm desert days Warm layers for cool desert evenings and the Middle Atlas Comfortable walking shoes Sun hat, sunglasses and high-factor sun protection Scarf or headwear for dust and sun in the dunes Small overnight bag for the desert camp ## FAQs ### Does this tour return to Marrakech? No, this is a one-way tour that finishes in Fes rather than looping back to Marrakech, making it ideal for travellers who are already planning to visit both cities and want to experience the Sahara Desert in between rather than backtracking. Onward travel from Fes is your own arrangement, not included in the tour price. ### What is the camel trek like? The camel trek takes place in the late afternoon on day two, timed to coincide with the desert sunset, leading into the dunes of Erg Chebbi to reach a Sahara bivouac where you spend the night, followed by an early sunrise view the next morning. It's a gentle ride rather than a physically demanding activity, suitable for most ages. ### Is this tour physically demanding? No, this tour is graded easy and is largely road-based with a gentle camel trek into the dunes, so it does not require any particular fitness level or previous trekking experience. It suits families and first-time visitors to Morocco well. ### What is the Todra Gorges stop like? The Todra Gorges is a dramatic limestone canyon with sheer cliffs rising up to 300 metres, visited on day two with time to explore the gorge area and have lunch before continuing towards the desert. It's one of the most photographed natural landmarks on the route. ### What happens on the final day? After an early sunrise over the dunes, the route crosses the Ziz Valley, stops in Midelt for lunch, and continues through the Middle Atlas and the cedar forests around Ifrane before arriving in Fes in the late afternoon or evening. The scenery shifts noticeably from desert to forested mountains over the course of the day. ### Can I extend my stay in Fes afterwards? Yes, since the tour ends in Fes rather than returning to Marrakech, many travellers use this as the start of further exploration of northern Morocco, though onward travel and accommodation in Fes are not included in the tour price. Let us know if you'd like recommendations for your time in Fes. ### What is the minimum age and group size? The minimum age is 10, in line with the centre's standard policy, and the tour suits families well given its easy grading. Group sizes range up to 20 people, and private departures can be arranged on request. ### What should I pack for this tour? Light, breathable clothing for warm desert days, warm layers for cool desert evenings and the Middle Atlas, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. A scarf or headwear for dust and sun in the dunes, and a small overnight bag for the desert camp, are also worth packing. ### What is the accommodation like along the route? Accommodation includes hotels, a riad and a desert camp as the itinerary progresses, chosen to suit each stage of the journey from mountain roads to the Sahara. The desert camp night is a traditional Berber bivouac rather than a hotel. ### What is the cancellation policy? Cancellations made more than 90 days before departure receive a full refund. Cancellations between 80 and 90 days before departure receive a 50% refund, and cancellations within 70 days of departure are non-refundable. Written notice is required, and travel cancellation insurance is strongly recommended. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/active-treks-morocco-marrakech-to-fes-desert-tour-01.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
