Morocco Tours From Fes

Fes is where our northern routes begin. From the old city we climb into the Middle Atlas — Ifrane, the cedar forests of Azrou and the Ziz Valley — and drop down to the dunes of Erg Chebbi, then carry on west through the gorges and kasbahs of the south to finish in Marrakech. Every trip below is private, driven by a local guide-driver and adaptable to your dates.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Merzouga is roughly seven hours by road, through Ifrane and the cedar forest at Azrou, over the Middle Atlas and down the Ziz valley to the edge of Erg Chebbi.

No. These routes run one way and finish in Marrakech, which suits travellers flying into one city and out of the other. If you need to return to Fes, tell us and we will reshape the route.

Three days, covering Erg Chebbi, the Todra and Dades gorges and the kasbah of Ait Benhaddou. The four and five-day versions add time at each stop rather than extra distance.

The cedar forest and its Barbary macaques near Azrou, the palm groves of the Ziz valley, the dunes at Erg Chebbi, the gorges of Todra and Dades, and Ait Benhaddou before you reach Marrakech.

An English-speaking driver, a qualified vehicle with fuel, half-board lodging with dinner and breakfast, and one camel per person for the desert night. Entry to monuments, midday meals and drinks, and tips are not included.

Warm clothing in winter and light clothing in summer, plus sunscreen, a hat, good walking shoes and a flashlight. Wear trousers for the camel trek rather than shorts or a skirt.
