Are meals included during the tour?

Breakfast is included daily, and dinners are included in more remote locations like the Dades Valley and the desert. In cities such as Marrakech and Fes, meals are not included so you can explore local restaurants and cuisine. Your driver/guide will always recommend great places to eat.

Reviews & Testimonials

Words that motivate us!

Isabelle Hartley

An Unforgettable Journey Through the Soul of Morocco

We felt that we were in safe hands, from the second we stepped off the plane in Fes. Our guide was Mohammed who was not only very well informed, but also extremely friendly and attentive during our tour. Highlights for me was the camel ride into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi and our stay at the luxury desert camp it was magical. I also really enjoyed visiting Ait Ben Haddou and the drive over the Atlas Mountains. Each riad that we experienced was quaint, clean, and had its very own personality. I can’t say enough about Desert Excursion Morocco what an unforgettable 6 days!

Daniel Costa

Perfectly Organized Tour with Authentic Moroccan Vibes

Worth to Travel Awesome 6 days trip program from Fes to Marrakech. Our driver, Mohamed, was friendly, punctual, and an absolute fount of knowledge that really brought the landscapes to life. Every stop on the itinerary was well considered from feeding monkeys in Azrou to getting lost in the riotous souks of Marrakech. The desert experience was surreal roaring sunsets and local music around the fire. The thing that impressed me most, though, was the level of detail the logistics, the food recommendations and the culture breakdowns could not have been better. If you’ve considered visiting Morocco, this is the real, authentic deal.

Very Important Things to Know Before You Go

6 days Morocco tour from Fes to Marrakech

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.
