Itinerary:

Around 8:30 am, your driver will pick you up from your Fes riad/hotel and begin your 5 Days Tour From Fes To Marrakech via Merzouga. From there, you’ll travel to the Sahara Desert, where the Erg Chebbi sand dunes are located.

Tafilalet, the largest oasis in southern Morocco, is reached after an 8-hour trek across the Atlas Mountains. Tafilalet is made up of numerous villages, palmers, and two significant Saharan cities, Erfoud and Rissani.

We will stop frequently along the way in the mountain village of Ifrane, the Azrou cedar forest, where monkeys live, Midelt for lunch, and Ziz valley for its breathtaking views of the palm trees and for its lovely valley in the middle of the Sahara. The Erg Chebbi sand dunes will then be our destination.

The dunes finally appear in the middle of nowhere as we travel further into the desert landscape. On the first night of your  5 Days Tour From Fes To Marrakech, have dinner and spend the night in a hotel with a pool along the Erg Chebbi dune line.

Then, go witness the Gnawa musicians in the “black village” of Khamlia. In the historic capital of Rissani, lunch should also include a classic Berber pizza. After viewing the afternoon sunset over the sand dunes, we will ride camels back to the desert camp where we will spend the night.

We proceed through the Dades Valley and climb up to the mountainous region via an off-road trail where there are numerous Berber villages and a small number of cave-dwelling nomads. Here, we will have the opportunity to visit one of these families and get a glimpse of their daily routines and primary occupation, which is tending to herds of goats, sheep, and other livestock. 

Before we arrive at the Skoura palm grove, the colorful rose valley will leave an impression on us. We travel another 45 kilometers to reach Ouarzazate, where we will have dinner and spend the night at a hotel.

Note:

Please If the itineraries we offer do not meet your needs, contact us. and tell us about your ideas, and one of our experts will contact you to help you create a one-of-a-kind trip…

Yes! The tours our company offers are all completely private. This will allow experience Morocco the way YOU want to. In addition to that, you will of course be always welcome to request stops along the way during the tours, in order to take memorable photographs (or whatever other reason you want!).

In case you are interested in booking a group desert tour, please go ahead and contact us so as to make a suitable group tour for you.

Depending on the sort of accommodations you need or the alterations you would want to make to your personalized trip, we are completely adaptable. However, if any modifications are made at least two weeks before your trip with us, please inform us.

Actually, it could be quite the opposite. Our team makes sure to select the best quality accommodations for our clients, and those tend to get booked full pretty quickly, that’s why it’s not always easy for us to accommodate last-minute bookings.

Therefore, you shouldn’t expect a lower price for such inquiries, but instead a higher one maybe. To avoid such incidents, we strongly advise you to book your tour with us early on, so that we will be able to pick out the best accommodations for you and offer you an unforgettable Morocco experience.

Morocco’s economy is heavily reliant on tourism to meet its financial needs. To put it another way, the Moroccan government wants tourists to feel comfortable and secure while spending their holiday and money in the country.

As a result, it devotes a significant amount of resources, particularly human resources, to ensure that all tourists are secure while in Morocco; this includes tourist police and highly qualified guides who have been accredited by the government after undergoing training.

In terms of extremism and crime rates, we can state that the occurrence of such crimes is similar to that of many European countries, as evidenced by several statistics: low and uncommon.

You could enjoy traveling on your own once you’ve learned your way around and been acquainted with the local culture. You’ll be OK as long as you’re comfortable with it and stay away from the shady areas.

It will also allow you to save some money. However, some destinations require the assistance of a professional guide; you will most likely realize this once you are in such a location, particularly that outside of towns, such as the desert, where you will need a guide to assist you with camels and other items.

We’ll ask you for a deposit to secure your tour with Let’s Visit Morocco once we’ve confirmed an itinerary that works for you/your group (tours shown on our website can be changed based on your needs). We ask that you pay the remaining balance of your trip reservation at the beginning of your tour in Morocco.

Confirmation:
