Fes to Marrakech luxury desert tour

We did the 3 day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech.

It was a really good tour and was one of the highlights of our first trip to Morocco! We stopped at places such as Ait Ben haddou before getting to the desert and we also stopped at places after the desert trip on the way to Fes such as Ifrane. The good thing was that it took us to our next destination which was Fes, after being in Marrakech a few days. Being in the desert was really really nice and we had the chance to ride camel and do quad biking.

3 days tour from Fes to Marrakech

My husband and I (from Ontario, Canada) came to Morocco for 2 weeks with our 2 young boys (7 years old and 3 years old). Initially, we were planning on going to the desert on our own with a rental vehicle because of the kids but then realized maybe it’s better to have a knowledgeable desert tour guide. I contacted Hassan from “To Morocco Travel”. We decided to do the 3-day private desert tour from Fez to Marrakech via Mergouza. BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! I can’t even explain how professional “To Morocco Travel” is. They use PayPal for a small deposit, you can pay the remaining balance once you are there. EASY BREZZY process. Our boys did AMAZING on the ride to the desert.

Incredible Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days

Originally it was only a 3 day tour from Fes to Merzouga desert but because of their great service we got a good deal to be our guide throughout our 10 day trip. With our very patient and knowledgeable guide, Mustafa, our trip in Morocco made everything memorable. Thank you so much To Morocco Travel. Great service and great team!
