4-Day Desert Adventure from Marrakech to Fes

The tour is the most complete you will find; the 3 days to Merzouga do not feel long at all, the people are super friendly, everyone helps you when you need it, and everything is very easy. I particularly recommend doing the extra quad tour, as I believe you can see things that you would otherwise miss. The tour through the Todra Gorges is also very cool. I believe I was very lucky with the guides I had; I got Moha and Hassan, and I could not have been luckier. They were very friendly, full of laughter, and explained everything very well. Additionally, they take you to eat at cool places and do whatever you need. An unforgettable experience.

I went on a 3 days tour with Esmail in 2025 Sep 24-26, he’s a caring and funny guide very attentive. He made me feel the hospitality of Moroccan. 👍🏻 Even I’m travelling on my own, my other 16 group mates are very kind, caring and fun. Esmail keeps a good vibe for the group and I never felt I’ve been left alone. It’s a long long way to the Sahara but it’s all worth it. The ride on camel 🐪, sunset & sunrise in the desert, the starry sky, bonfire and even a surprise birthday cake for a group mate, it’s all amazing, fun and unforgettable.

Said and Hisham did great job !we enjoyed the trip a lot 😁highly recommend this happy group .First time visiting desert and the view is amazing .Also we enjoyed the dance a lot lol😆can’t wait to visit again!

1. The booking page said 15 travelers maximum. We had 18. 2. The booking page said 4 day tour from Marrakech to Fez. They didn’t clarify that you’d be the only one who would be left to stay in the desert for another night and do the “activities” by yourself the next day. Because most travelers(in my case, that’s everyone) will go back to Marrakech. 3. We didn’t really get the chance to see nature or take pictures. We were taken to many shopping stops and were kept there for long time to see blankets, argan oil, pictures, or whatever. Then when we tried to stop for pictures in the nature, we were told to follow the group. No stop for pictures. 4. The first castle tour guide wouldn’t tell you until after the tour that you need to pay for the tour. 5. The buffet lunch only includes one drink, which they again didn’t clarify until they ask you to pay. As a result of unpleasant experience above, I cut my trip short and left the desert on the third day. Bcz there’s no real activities if I stay for another night by myself. “Visiting nomad family” is just another shopping stop. On my way back, I see other travelers from different groups on my van, were forced to connect to WiFi to leave a 5-star review when they watched them typing. The travelers were pressured to put down the driver’s and guide’s name to give 5 start review. In one sentence, I wouldn’t recommend this tour to my worst enemy, and I think Morocco has to work on its tourism regulations instead of treating us like a piece of meat to prey on.

The 4 day desert trip in the Sahara desert was truly an amazing experience. It starts with a great road trip with some scenic stops and includes the Unesco site Ait Benhaddou. The second day is also impressive with a walk through an oasis and the incredible Todra gorge. Then from Merzouga, you ride a camel out to the camp, which lasts about an hour. Dinner, sandboarding and great photos of the Sahara desert await you there. The 3 day trip is great, and well worth it, but if you have the time and money, I highly recommend the 4 day. After everyone leaves the next morning, you have some downtime in camp. Very peaceful and relaxing. Around 11, you start out on an excursion that includes visits to a nomad camp, mines, music and much more. The last day, for us, was another road trip to Fes. This included a stop near Ifrane where we fed some forest monkeys. I was very impressed by them. They were gentle creatures, and a lot of fun. One thing I would have done differently. I would have gone with the luxury camp. There, you have your own bathroom, I think. And a nice, shaded bench to sit on. But all in all, we were treated wonderfully. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and attended to all our needs. I absolutely loved the experience, and highly recommend it!
