Shared 3 Days Tour from Marrakech to Fes

In Merzouga, you will spend the night in a traditional desert camp. The camps are located near the Erg Chebbi dunes. The camps vary from basic to luxury, depending on the tour package you select. For those who prefer not to sleep in the camp, we offer the option to stay in a riad or hotel near the desert.

Under normal conditions, the drive from Merzouga to Fes takes around 7 to 8 hours, though this may vary based on road conditions and any stops made along the way.

The camel ride experience begins before sunset as you journey to the desert camp, allowing you to enjoy the stunning desert scenery and capture beautiful photos of the dunes at sunset.

The journey is conducted in modern, spacious, air-conditioned vehicles such as minivans or minibusses, depending on the group size.
