3 Day Desert Tour Marrakech to Fes
The 3 day Desert tour from Marrakech to Fes is one of the most popular desert tours because it links between two imperial cities; Marrakech and Fes. This trip lets you discover a huge part of the south of Morocco by departing from Marrakech towards the Atlas Mountains, crossing some perched Berber villages to the famous Kasbahs of Ait Benhaddou and Ouarzazate and spending the first night in Dades gorges in a traditional hotel. Next day, you will enjoy a short walk in Todra gorges before heading towards Merzouga where you will ride camels and go deep in desert to spend a starry night under a peaceful sky in a nomadic bivouac. On the last day, we will take a different route heading towards Fez crossing many villages and wonderful sceneries along the way. In fez, our driver will drop you off in your hotel.
