Marrakech Fes 2-Day Desert Tour

2 Day from Marrakech to Fes via Sahara Desert

Discover Morocco in just 2 days, departing from the red city of Marrakech and heading toward the cultural heart of Fes. This fast-paced adventure takes you through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains, past dramatic cliffs and legendary kasbahs like Ait Ben Haddou, and through the Dades and Todra Gorges. By evening, you’ll arrive in Merzouga on the edge of the Sahara, where a camel ride into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi and a night in a desert camp await.

On the second day, the journey continues through the picturesque Ziz Valley, the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, and charming towns such as Midelt and Ifrane, before reaching the historic city of Fes. It’s the ideal trip for travelers looking to experience the magic of the Moroccan Sahara in a short time and it’s even better when we explain everything to you along the way.

Why a Private Marrakech to Merzouga 2 days tour?

Comfort, Flexibility, Stress free

To circumvent this, consider booking a private Marrakech to Fes desert tour 2 days that offers the ideal balance of comfort, flexibility, and authentic travel. Journey at your own pace, pause for photos, and enjoy personalized commentary from a knowledgeable driver-guide on this tailored introduction to Morocco. As a private experience, you’re not bound by a strict schedule you’ll travel to your own rhythm, whether that means spending more time at the stunning Ait Ben Haddou kasbah, enjoying a peaceful camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes, or savoring a quiet sunset in the Sahara.
Traversing the High Atlas Mountains and continuing into the desert, this thoughtfully designed route showcases Morocco’s breathtaking landscapes while seamlessly connecting two of its most celebrated cities. It’s the perfect option for travelers who value personal space, authentic moments, and the freedom to explore on their own terms.

We booked the 2-day private desert tour from Marrakech to Fes with Morocco Tourism Packages, and it was an unforgettable journey. Our driver and guide, Siad, was incredibly professional. Even though the trip was short, we got to see so much: the High Atlas Mountains, Ait Ben Haddou, the Ziz Valley, and finally the Sahara Desert. Siad made sure we were comfortable the entire way, with safe driving and plenty of photo stops. He also shared cultural insights that made the experience richer. Ending in Fes was perfect for our travel plan. Highly recommend Siad and Morocco Tourism Packages for anyone who wants an efficient, safe, and memorable desert adventure!
