Best Marrakesh Fes deser tour
I really recommend you to do your tour with To Morocco Travel. Before our 3 days from Marrakesh to Fes desert tour, Hassan answered to all of our questions very fast and offered his help the hole time. I can say that the van that we used to go to the desert was very comfortable for a long trip. Riads and camping where we stayed at the desert were nice, clean and we had always a delicious dinner and breakfast.
3 day tour from Marrakech to Fes
The best trip by far! I loved our 3 days desert tour Marrakech to Fes with Hassan. He took us to all the must see attractions and he was very patient with us as we stopped by a few shops for souvenirs. Hassan also invited us to his house for tea! Super hospitable. He would definitely go back to Morocco again…

3 DAYS TRIP FROM MARRAKECH TO FES'S FAQ
Is it possible to visit the Sahara Desert on a day trip from Marrakech?
It is not possible to visit the Sahara desert in a single day from Marrakech. Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara, is about 350 miles (560 kilometers) from Marrakech, via winding mountain passes and dizzying curves. As a result, you shouldn’t expect to travel from Marrakech to the Sahara in a single day.

The Sahara Desert is the world’s largest hot desert and a must-see destination for many. The prospect of sleeping in a tent under a million stars and climbing sand dunes to watch the sunset is enticing.
What city is the closest to the Sahara desert?
Morocco is the best and most direct route to the Sahara, with Errachidia being the closest major city to the desert.
When is the best time to visit Sahara?
When is the best time of year to visit the Sahara? Probably in the fall (September-November) or early spring (March-April). Avoiding extreme temperatures in the summer and freezing temperatures at night in the winter will make your desert stay more comfortable.

While visiting as a day trip is possible, I recommend sleeping in the Sahara for a truly unique experience. If you want to visit the Sahara Desert, keep the following tips in mind: Remember the Moroccan temperatures.
