Flying into Marrakech and out of Fes, or the other way round? Our 3 day Marrakech to Fes desert tour turns the transfer between the two cities into the highlight of your trip. Instead of a long train ride through the plains, you cross the High Atlas, visit Aït Benhaddou, sleep in the Dades Gorge and spend a night in a Berber camp among the dunes of Erg Chebbi before arriving in Fes.
The final day takes the northern route out of the desert: up the Ziz Valley with its palm-filled canyon, across the Middle Atlas via the apple town of Midelt and the alpine-style resort of Ifrane, and down into Fes in the evening. You see two very different Moroccos in a single trip, from red desert to cedar forest.
It is a shared small-group tour, up to 17 travelers in an air-conditioned minibus, with a fixed price of €165 per person and departures every day. Once you arrive, a guided walk through the Fes medina is the perfect next step. If you need to end back in Marrakech, book the 3 day desert tour from Marrakech instead.
