Emily Richardson

Once-in-a-Lifetime Desert Experience

I booked Fes to Marrakech desert 2-day tour and It was truly beyond my expectations. From the spectacular drive through the Middle Atlas to the unforgettable camel ride in Merzouga, it was all magical. Our guide Mohamed was informative and ensured that I felt safe as a solo female traveler. It was surreal watching the sunset over the Erg Chebbi dunes; sleeping under the stars at the luxury camp, something I’ll always remember. It was all set up very well, and very safe. Highly recommended, if you want to get experienced real Morocco in a short time!

Daniel Torres

An Epic Journey Across Morocco’s Heart

My wife and I did the 2-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech and I can say it was the best part of our whole trip to Morocco! The drive was beautiful itself, with great spots in Ifrane and the cedar forest. But the true fairytale began in Merzouga camel riding into the dunes at sunset, the desert camp, the traditional food, the Berber music by the fire… it was surreal. Our driver, Hamid, was friendly, entertaining and prompt. It’s a lot to pack in over two days, but it never felt rushed. The best adventure, culture and comfort!

Very Important Things to Know Before You Go

Fes to Marrakech desert tour 2 days

Pack for Different Climates

Morocco offers diverse weather across regions. Expect hot days in the desert, cool nights in the mountains, and moderate temps along the coast. Bring layers, a scarf or hat for sun protection, and a warm jacket for cooler evenings.

Cash is King in Rural Areas

While cities accept cards, many villages, desert stops, and local shops don’t. Bring enough Moroccan dirhams, especially for snacks, souvenirs, and tips along the way.

Be Respectful of Local Culture

Morocco is a Muslim country. Dress modestly, especially in rural areas and when visiting religious sites. Women may prefer wearing scarves in more conservative towns.

Desert Essentials

For the camel ride and desert stay, wear comfortable pants (not shorts), closed shoes or sandals, and bring a small backpack with water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a flashlight.

Internet May Be Limited

Wi-Fi is available in most hotels and riads, but don’t expect strong connections everywhere especially in the desert. Download maps and entertainment in advance.

Local SIM or Roaming Plan

If you need reliable communication or internet on the go, consider buying a local SIM card or ensuring your mobile plan covers Morocco.

Expect Some Long Drives

Morocco is a large country and this tour covers a lot. Enjoy the scenery, bring snacks, and consider a travel pillow for comfort on the road.

Tipping is Appreciated

Tipping your driver/guide, hotel staff, and local guides is a common and appreciated gesture in Morocco. Keep small bills for this purpose.

Be Open to Adventure

Part of what makes Morocco magical is its unpredictability. Be flexible, open-minded, and ready to experience real moments whether it’s dancing under desert stars or sipping mint tea with a nomadic family.

Stay Hydrated and Mind What You Eat

Traveling through different climates and regions especially the desert can dehydrate you quickly. Always carry a bottle of water (your driver can help you find clean bottled water on the way). When it comes to food, Moroccan cuisine is delicious, but it may be spiced differently than you’re used to. To avoid stomach upsets, ease into unfamiliar dishes, avoid raw foods in small roadside places, and consider bringing basic medication like probiotics or anti-nausea tablets just in case.
